Source (Arabic)
اتّقوا اللّه یا ایّها الملوک و لا تتجاوزوا عن حدود اللّه ثمّ اتّبعوا بما امرتم به فی الکتاب و لا تکوننّ من المتجاوزین ایّاکم ان لا تظلموا علی احد قدر خردل و اسلکوا سبیل العدل و انّه لسبیل مستقیم
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Lay not aside the fear of God, O kings of the earth, and beware that ye transgress not the bounds which the Almighty hath fixed. Observe the injunctions laid upon you in His Book, and take good heed not to overstep their limits. Be vigilant, that ye may not do injustice to anyone, be it to the extent of a grain of mustard seed. Tread ye the path of justice, for this, verily, is the straight path.
