يا ايّها المعرض باللّه لو تری السّدرة بعين الانصاف لتری آثار سيوفک فی افنانها و اغصانها و اوراقها بعد ما خلقک اللّه لعرفانها و خدمتها تفکّر لعلّ تطّلع بظلمک و تکون من التّائبين * أظننت انّا نخاف من ظلمک ؟ فاعلم ثمّ ايقن انّا فی اوّل يوم فيه ارتفع صرير القلم الاعلی بين الارض و السّماء انفقنا ارواحنا و اجسادنا و ابنائنا و اموالنا فی سبيل اللّه العلیّ العظيم و نفتخر بذلک بين اهل الانشاء و الملأ الاعلی يشهد بذلک ما ورد علينا فی هذا الصّراط المستقيم * تاللّه قد ذابت الاکباد و صلبت الاجساد و سفکت الدّماء و الابصار کانت ناظرة الی افق عناية ربّها الشّاهد البصير * کلّما زاد البلاء زاد اهل البهاء فی حبّهم قد شهد بصدقهم ما انزله الرّحمن فی الفرقان بقوله ﴿فَتَمَنُّوا المَوْتَ إِنْ کُنْتُم صَادِقِينَ﴾ * هل الّذی حفظ نفسه خلف الاحجاب خيرٌ ام الّذی انفقها فی سبيل اللّه؟ انصف و لا تکن فی تيه الکذب من الهائمين * قد اخذهم کوثر محبّة الرّحمن علی شأن ما منعتهم مدافع العالم و لا سيوف الامم عن التّوجّه الی بحر عطاء ربّهم المعطی الکريم

Shoghi Effendi Translation

"O thou who hast turned away from God! Wert thou to look with the eye of fairness upon the Divine Lote-Tree, thou wouldst perceive the marks of thy sword on its boughs, and its branches, and its leaves, notwithstanding that God created thee for the purpose of recognizing and of serving it. Reflect, that haply thou mayest recognize thine iniquity and be numbered with such as have repented. Thinkest thou that We fear thy cruelty? Know thou and be well assured that from the first day whereon the voice of the Most Sublime Pen was raised betwixt earth and heaven We offered up Our souls, and Our bodies, and Our sons, and Our possessions in the path of God, the Exalted, the Great, and We glory therein amongst all created things and the Concourse on high. Unto this testify the things which have befallen Us in this straight Path. By God! Our hearts were consumed, and Our bodies were crucified, and Our blood was spilt, while Our eyes were fixed on the horizon of the loving-kindness of their Lord, the Witness, the All-Seeing. The more grievous their woes, the greater waxed the love of the people of Bahá. Unto their sincerity hath borne witness what the All-Merciful hath sent down in the Qur’án. He saith: ‘Wish ye, then, for death, if ye are sincere.' Who is to be preferred, he that hath sheltered himself behind curtains, or he that hath offered himself in the path of God? Judge thou fairly, and be not of them that rove distraught in the wilderness of falsehood. So carried away have they been by the living waters of the love of the Most Merciful, that neither the arms of the world nor the swords of the nations have deterred them from setting their faces towards the ocean of the bounty of their Lord, the Giver, the Generous.
