و قبل از ايشان جناب کاظم و من معه و در آخر حضرت اشرف کلّ شربت شهادت را بکمال شوق و اشتياق نوشيدند و برفيق اعلی شتافتند * و همچنين در عهد سردار عزيز خان جناب عارف باللّه ميرزا مصطفی و من معه را اخذ نمودند و برفيق اعلی و افق ابهی فرستادند * باری در هر بلدی اثار ظلم ظاهر و مشهود ظلميکه شبه و مثل نداشته مع ذلک نفسی بر دفاع قيام ننمود * در حضرت بديع که حامل لوح حضرت سلطان بوده تفکّر نما که چگونه جان داد * ان فارس مضمار انقطاع اکليل ثمين حيات را نثار دوست يکتا نمود *

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Before them one named Káẓim and they who were with him, and after them, his honor Ashraf, all quaffed the draught of martyrdom with the utmost fervor and longing, and hastened unto the Supreme Companion. In like manner, at the time of Sardár ‘Azíz Khán, that godly man, Mírzá Mustafa, and his fellow-martyrs, were arrested, and despatched unto the Supreme Friend in the All-Glorious Horizon. Briefly, in every city the evidences of a tyranny, beyond like or equal, were unmistakably clear and manifest, and yet none arose in self-defence! Call thou to mind his honor Badi, who was the bearer of the Tablet to His Majesty the Sháh, and reflect how he laid down his life. That knight, who spurred on his charger in the arena of renunciation, threw down the precious crown of life for the sake of Him Who is the Incomparable Friend.
