Source (Arabic)
يا أيّها الذّاکر حجاب أکبر بشر را از مشاهده منع نمود و از شنيدن ندا باز داشت انشاء اللّه آفاق بنور اتّفاق منوّر شود و در جبين جميع من علی الأرض نقش خاتِم "المُلْکُ للّهِ" منطبع گردد ...
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O thou that hast remembered Me! The most grievous veil hath shut out the peoples of the earth from His glory, and hindered them from hearkening to His call. God grant that the light of unity may envelop the whole earth, and that the seal, “the Kingdom is God’s,” may be stamped upon the brow of all its peoples.
