Source (Arabic)
إِلَهِيْ قَوِّ يَدِيْ لِتَأْخُذَ كِتَابَكَ بِاسْتِقَامَةٍ لَا تَمْنَعُهَا جُنُودُ العَالَمِ ثُمَّ احْفَطْهَا عَنِ التَّصَرُّفِ فِي مَالَمْ يَدْخُلْ فِي مِلْكِهَا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ المُقْتَدِرُ القَدِيرُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Strengthen my hand, O my God, that it may take hold of Thy Book with such steadfastness that the hosts of the world shall have no power over it. Guard it, then, from meddling with whatsoever doth not belong unto it. Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the Most Powerful.
