I know it is already posted on Bahá'í Glory but this chanted prayer is so hauntingly beautiful that I feel it needs to be shared with as many people as possible.
انه لهو المقتدر المختار يامالك الاسماء وفاطر السماء خلص الاحباء من سجن الاعداء انك سلطان القضاء والمشرق من
افق البداء يااصل البقاء لعمر البهاء لاتقطع الرجاء فانصر هؤلاء انت الحاكم علي ماتشاء وفي قبضك ملكوت الانشاء قد شحذ الانياب للحم الاحباب ان نحفظ الاصحاب يامالك الرقاب والحاكم في المأب
Bahá'u'lláh instructs that believers must detach themselves and recite this prayer nine times.
The provisional translation into English : He is, in truth, the Omnipotent, the Unconstrained! O Lord of Names and Fashioner of the Heavens! Free Thy lovers from the prison of the enemy. Verily, Thou art the Sovereign Ordainer of Thine irrevocable decree. He who alone shineth resplendent on the horizon of creation. O Everlasting Root! By the life of the All-Glorious, deprive them not of hope, nay rather aid and assist them. Verily, Thou rulest as Thou pleasest and within Thy grasp lie the kingdoms of creation. The fangs of Thine enemies have been whetted, ready to bite into the flesh of Thy lovers. Protect these companions, O Thou Who rulest over all humankind and art the Judge on the Day of Judgement.
