What follows is my provisional translation (in other words, not official or authorized; see here for more) of a passage from a prayer by Bahá’u’lláh, the original text of which has been published in Ad‘íyiy-i-Ḥaḍrat-i-Maḥbúb, pp. 324–326.
My God, my Adored One, O Most Gracious and Merciful Lord!
Thou art that Sovereign before even one of Whose names the rulers of the earth bow down in humility and submission. O Gracious Lord! Thy grace hath encompassed the world and Thy mercy hath preceded all things. I adjure Thee, by Thy Most Sublime Word and by the power of Thy Most Exalted Pen, to aid this servant to do that which beseemeth Thy days. This stranger hath set out toward the abode of the All-Glorious, and this seeker hath sought the ultimate Goal. Assist him, that he may arise to serve Thee and occupy himself with spreading Thy commandments and ordinances.
O Gracious Lord! Withhold not from this poor one the ocean of Thy wealth, and establish this lowly one beneath the shadow of Thy mercy, that perchance he may be refreshed by the sweet savors of Thy Revelation and attain unto life everlasting.
Thou art the Almighty, the All-Powerful, and Thou art the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. There is no God but Thee, the Exalted, the Most High.
