O Kind God!
Hearken to the cry of these helpless nations.
O Pure Lord!
Show Thy pity to these orphaned children.
O Incomparable Almighty!
Stop this destructive torrent.
O Creator of the world and the inhabitants thereof!
Cause the extinction of this burning fire.
O Listener to our cries!
Come to the rescue of the orphans.
O Ideal Comforter!
Console the mothers whose hearts are torn and whose souls are filled with the blood of irremidiable loss.
O Clement and Merciful!
Grant the blessing of Thy Grace to the weeping eyes and burning hearts of the fathers.
Restore the calmness to this surging tempest and change this world-encircling war into peace and conciliation.
Verily Thou art the Omnipotent and the Powerful, and verily Thou art the Seeing and the Hearing.
Abdu’l-Baha Abbas
