Source (Arabic)
در هر حال آمرزش قديمت را ميطلبيم و فضل عميمت را ميجوئيم، اميد چنانكه نفسى را از فضلت محروم نسازى و از طراز عدل و انصاف منع ننمائى توئى سلطان كرم و مالك عطا وَالمُهَيْمِنُ عَلَى مَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Whatever betide us, we beseech Thine ancient forgiveness, and seek Thine all-pervasive grace. Our hope is that Thou wilt deny no one Thy grace, and wilt deprive no soul of the ornament of fairness and justice. Thou art the King of all bounty, and the Lord of all favors, and supreme over all who are in heaven and on earth.
