Source (Arabic)
أَيْ رَبِّ أَسْئَلُكَ بِهِ وَغُرْبَتِهِ وَسَجْنِهِ بِأَنْ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَى أَحِبَّائِهِ ما تَسْكُنُ بِهِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَتَصْلُحُ بِهِ أُمُورُهُمْ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ المُقْتَدِرُ عَلَى ما تَشاءُ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ المُقْتَدِرُ القَدِيرُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I beseech Thee, O my Lord, by him and by his exile and his imprisonment, to send down upon such as loved him what will quiet their hearts and bless their works. Potent art Thou to do as Thou willest. No God is there but Thee, the Almighty, the Most Powerful.
