Source (Arabic)
أَيْ رَبِّ فَاكْتُبْ لِي وَلَهُمْ مَا كتَبْتَهُ لِلْمُخْلِصِينَ مِنْ أَصْفِيائِكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْهُمْ مِنَ الَّذِينَ طَهَّرْتَ وُجُوهَهُمْ عَنِ الإِقْبالِ إِلى غَيْرِكَ وَعُيُونَهُمْ عَنِ النَّظَرِ إِلى ما سِواكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Ordain, O my God, for me and for them that which Thou didst decree for such of Thy chosen ones as are wholly devoted unto Thee. Cause them, then, to be numbered among those whose eyes Thou hast cleansed and kept from turning to any one save Thee, and whose eyes Thou hast protected from beholding any face except Thy face.
