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.

Bahá’u’lláh

بِسْمِهِ الْعَلِيِّ المُتَعَالِي الْأَعْلَى
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
