Source (Arabic)
يا إِلهِي وَسَيِّدِيْ تَعْلَمُ بِأَنَّهُمْ ضَيَّعُوْا أَمْرَكَ وَهَتَكُوْا سِتْرَ حُرْمَتِكَ بَيْنَ بَرِيَّتِكَ وَتَمَسَّكُوا بِأَعْدائِكَ تَضْيِيْعًا لأَمْرِكَ وَبَغْيًا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ، أَيْ رَبِّ خُذْهُمْ بِقَهْرِكَ وَقُوَّتِكَ ثُمَّ اهْتِكَ ما سُتِرَ بِهِ عُيُوبُهُمْ وَشَقْوَتُهُمْ لِيَظْهَرَ ما فِي صُدُوْرِهِمْ عَلَى أَهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِكَ يا مُنْزِلَ النِّقَمِ وَخالِقَ الأُمَمِ وَسابِغَ النِّعَمِ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ العَزِيْزُ الْكرِيْمُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O my God and my Master! Thou knowest how they have disgraced Thy Cause and dishonored Thee among Thy creatures, how they have joined Thine enemies, that they may undermine Thy Revelation and injure Thee. Lay hold on them with the power of Thy wrath and might, O my God, and expose their shameful acts and their wickedness, that whatever is hid in their breasts may be revealed unto the people that dwell within Thy land, O Thou Who art the Inflictor of trials, the Fashioner of nations, and the Bestower of favors! No God is there beside Thee, the All-Glorious, the Most Bountiful.
