In His Name, the Exalted, the All-Highest, the Most Sublime!
Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! O Thou Who art my God, and my Master, and my Lord, and my Support, and my Hope, and my Refuge, and my Light. I ask of Thee, by Thy Hidden and Treasured Name, which none knoweth save Thine own Self, to protect the bearer of this Tablet from every calamity and pestilence, and from every wicked man and woman; from the evil of the evil-doers, and from the scheming of the unbelievers. Preserve him, moreover, O my God, from every pain and vexation, O Thou Who holdest in Thy hand the empire of all things. Thou, truly, art powerful over all things. Thou doest as Thou willest, and ordainest as Thou pleasest.
O Thou King of Kings! O Thou kind Lord! O Thou Source of ancient bounty, of grace, of generosity and bestowal! O Thou Healer of sicknesses! O Thou Sufficer of needs! O Thou Light of Light! O Thou Light above all Lights! O Thou Revealer of every Manifestation! O Thou the Compassionate! O Thou the Merciful! Do Thou have mercy upon the bearer of this Tablet, through Thy most great mercy and Thine abundant grace, O Thou the Gracious, Thou the Bounteous. Guard him, moreover, through Thy protection, from whatsoever his heart and mind may find repugnant. Of those endued with power, Thou, verily, art the most powerful. The Glory of God rest upon thee, O thou rising sun! Do thou testify unto that which God hath testified of His own Self, that there is none other God besides Him, the Almighty, the Best-Beloved.

حضرة بهاءالله
فَسُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ يَا إِلَهِي وَسَيِّدِي وَمَوْلَاي وَمُعْتَمَدِي وَرَجَائِي وَكَهْفِي وَضِيَائِي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْنُونِ الْمَخْزُونِ الَّذِي لَا يَعْلَمُهُ سِوَاكَ بِأَنْ تَحْفَظَ حَامِلَ هَذِهِ الْوَرَقَةِ مِنْ كُلِّ بَلَاءٍ وَوَبَاءٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَشَيْطَانَةٍ وَمِنْ شَرِّ الْأَشْرَارِ وَكَيْدِ الْكُفَّارِ وَاحْفَظْهُ يَا إِلَهِي مِنْ كُلِّ أَوْجَاعٍ وَآلَامٍ يَا مَنْ بِيَدِكَ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَإِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ تَفْعَلُ مَا تَشَاءُ وَتَحْكُمُ مَا تُرِيدُ يَا مَالِكَ الْمُلُوكِ يَا سُلْطَانَ الْعَطُوفِ يَا قَدِيمَ الْإِحْسَانِ يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَالْكَرَمِ وَالْإِمْتِنَانِ يَا شَافِي الْأَمْرَاضِ يَا كَافِي الْمُهِمَّاتِ يَا نُورَ النُّورِ يَا نُورًا فَوْقَ كُلِّ نُورٍ يَا مُظْهِرَ كُلِّ ظُهُورٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ يَا رَحِيمُ فَارْحَمْ حَامِلَ هَذِهِ الْوَرَقَةِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الْكُبْرَى وَبِجُودِكَ الْعُظْمَى يَا جَوَّادُ يَا وَهَّابُ وَاحْفَظْهُ بِحِفْظِكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَا يَكْرُهُ بِهِ فُؤَادُهُ إِنَّكَ أَقْدَرُ الْأَقْدَرِينَ وَإِنَّمَا الْبَهَاءُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكِ يَا أَيُّتَهَا الشَّمْسُ الطَّالِعَةُ فَاشْهَدي عَلَى مَا قَدْ شَهِدَ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ إِنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْمَحْبُوبُ
