Source (Arabic)
مِنَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَقامُوا عَلَى أَمْرِكَ إِلى أَنْ طارَتْ أَرْواحُهُمْ إِلى سَمآءِ فَضْلِكَ وَهَواءِ عِنايَتِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Number us, we implore Thee, with them who have stood fast in Thy Cause until their souls finally winged their flight unto the heaven of Thy grace and the atmosphere of Thy loving-kindness. Thou art, verily, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
