قَ الإِصْباحِ بِمِصْباحِكَ الَّذِيْ أَوْقَدْتَهُ بِنارِ حُبِّكَ بَيْنَ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمآءِ وَأَمْدَدْتَهُ بِدُهْنِ حِكْمَتِكَ فِيْ مَلَكُوتِ الإِنْشآءِ بِأَنْ تَجْعَلَنِيْ مِنَ الَّذِينَ طَارُوا فِيْ هَوائِكَ وَرَضَوْا بِقَضائِكَ، أَيْ رَبِّ أَنَا
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I implore Thee, O Thou Who causest the dawn to appear, by Thy Lamp which Thou didst light with the fire of Thy love before all that are in heaven and on earth, and whose flame Thou feedest with the fuel of Thy wisdom in the kingdom of Thy creation, to make me to be of those who have soared in Thine atmosphere, and surrendered their will to Thy decree.
