O Thou pure God! Let these saplings which have sprouted by
the stream of Thy guidance become fresh and verdant through the outpourings of
the clouds of Thy tender mercy; cause them to be stirred by the gentle winds
wafting from the meads of Thy oneness and suffer them to be revived through the
rays of the Sun of Reality, that they may continually grow and flourish, and
burst into blossoms and fruit.
O Lord God! Bestow upon each one understanding; give them
power and strength and cause them to mirror forth Thy divine aid and
confirmation, so that they may become highly distinguished among the people.
Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful.
