است بگو ای نادانان گرفتاری ناگهان شما را از پی کوشش نمائید تا بگذرد و بشما آسیب نرساند اسم بزرگ خداوند که ببزرگی آمده بشناسید او است داننده و دارنده و نگهبان

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Say: O ye that are bereft of understanding! A severe trial pursueth you, and will suddenly overtake you. Bestir yourselves, that haply it may pass and inflict no harm upon you. Acknowledge the exalted character of the name of the Lord, your God, Who hath come unto you in the greatness of His glory. He, verily, is the All-Knowing, the All-Possessing, the Supreme Protector.
