Thou knowest, O my God, that all Thy servants have turned back from Thee and risen up against Thee.  Thou knowest that Thou hast no one to obey Thee except them and such as have believed in Thy Revelation, through which the foundations of the entire universe have been shaken, and the souls of all men have trembled, and all that lay asleep were quickened.  Thou art, O my God, the God of bounty, Whose grace is immense.

Darkness hath encompassed every land, O my God, and caused most of Thy servants to tremble.  I beseech Thee, by Thy Most Great Name, to raise in every city a new creation that shall turn towards Thee, and shall remember Thee amidst Thy servants, and shall unfurl by virtue of their utterances and wisdom the ensigns of Thy victory, and shall detach themselves from all created things.

Potent art Thou to do Thy pleasure.  No God is there but Thee, the Most Powerful, He Whose help is implored by all men.
