Source (Arabic)
يا معشر الأمراء لمّا صرتم سحابا لوجه الشّمس ومنعتموها عن الإشراق أن استمعوا ما ينصحكم به القلم الأعلى لعلّ تستريح به أنفسكم ثمّ الفقراء والمساكين، نسأل الله بأن يؤيّد الملوك على الصّلح إنّه لهو القادر على ما يريد،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O ye rulers of the earth! Wherefore have ye clouded the radiance of the Sun, and caused it to cease from shining? Hearken unto the counsel given you by the Pen of the Most High, that haply both ye and the poor may attain unto tranquillity and peace. We beseech God to assist the kings of the earth to establish peace on earth. He, verily, doth what He willeth.
