E hoʻoikaika hoʻi i ka hiki o nā maka e kūʻike i Kou mau ʻōuli, a e hoʻomaopopo i ka ʻAlihi Lani o Kou Hōʻikena. ʻO ʻOe ka Mea Nona ka hōʻikena o ka mana poʻokela i haʻukeke ai ka mana nui.

ʻAʻohe Akua ʻē aʻe ʻo ʻOe wale nō, ka Mana Loa, ka Lanakila Pau Loa, ke Kaupalena ʻOle ʻIa.

O my God, my Master, the Goal of my desire! This, Thy servant, seeketh to sleep in the shelter of Thy mercy, and to repose beneath the canopy of Thy grace, imploring Thy care and Thy protection.

I beg of Thee, O my Lord, by Thine eye that sleepeth not, to guard mine eyes from beholding aught beside Thee. Strengthen, then, their vision that they may discern Thy signs, and behold the Horizon of Thy Revelation. Thou art He before the revelations of Whose omnipotence the quintessence of power hath trembled.

No God is there but Thee, the Almighty, the All-Subduing, the Unconditioned.
~ Bahá’u’lláh
