Source (Persian)
يا ايّتها الملکة فی لندن اسمعی نداء ربّک مالک البريّة من السّدرة الالهيّة انّه لا اله الّا انا العزيز الحکيم * ضَعِی ما علی الارض و زيّنی راس الملک باکليل ذکر ربّک الجليل * انّه قد اتی فی العالم بمجده الاعظم و کمل ما ذکر فی الانجيل * قد تشرّف برّ الشّام بقدوم ربّه مالک الانام و اخذ سکر خمر الوصال شطر الجنوب و الشّمال * طوبی لمن وجد عرف الرّحمن و اقبل الی مشرق الجمال فی هذا الفجر المنير * قد اهتزّ المسجد الاقصی من نسمات ربّه الابهی و البطحاء من نداء اللّه العليّ الاعلی و کلّ حصاة منها تسبّح الرّبّ بهذا الاسم العظيم
Shoghi Effendi Translation
"O Queen in London! Incline thine ear unto the voice of thy Lord, the Lord of all mankind, calling from the Divine Lote-Tree: Verily, no God is there but Me, the Almighty, the All-Wise! Cast away all that is on earth, and attire the head of thy kingdom with the crown of the remembrance of Thy Lord, the All-Glorious. He, in truth, hath come unto the world in His most great glory, and all that hath been mentioned in the Gospel hath been fulfilled. The land of Syria hath been honored by the footsteps of its Lord, the Lord of all men, and North and South are both inebriated with the wine of His presence. Blessed is the man that hath inhaled the fragrance of the Most Merciful, and turned unto the Dawning-Place of His beauty, in this resplendent Dawn. The Mosque of Aqsa vibrateth through the breezes of its Lord, the All-Glorious, whilst Batha (Mecca) trembleth at the voice of God, the Exalted, the Most High. Every single stone of them celebrateth the praise of the Lord, through this Great Name."
