Source (Arabic)
فطوبی لک بما کسّرت صنم النّفس والوهم وخرقت أحجاب الظّنون بقدرة ربّک المهیمن العزیز المحبوب فإذًا یصدق في حقّک بأنّک من حروف الّتي سبقن الحروفات ولذا اختصّک الله من قبل بلسان عَلِيٍّ بالحقّ الّذي أشرقت من نور وجهه کلّ ما کان وما یکون وإنّک أنت فاحمد الله ثمّ اشکره بما أیّدک علی أمر الّذي اضطرب عنه سکّان السّموات والأرض وضجّت من في ملکوت الأمر والخلق وبلت السّرایر عمّا هو المکنون في الصّدور
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Blessed art thou for having utterly abolished the idol of self and of vain imagination, and for having rent asunder the veil of idle fancy, through the power of the might of thy Lord, the Supreme Protector, the Almighty, the one Beloved. Thou art indeed to be numbered with those Letters that have excelled every other Letter. Wherefore thou hast been singled out by God through the tongue of thy Lord, the Báb, the brightness of Whose countenance hath enveloped, and will continue to envelop, the whole of creation. Render thanks unto the Almighty, and magnify His name, inasmuch as He hath aided thee to recognize a Cause that hath made the hearts of the inhabitants of the heavens and of the earth to tremble, that hath caused the denizens of the Kingdoms of creation and of Revelation to cry out, and through which the hidden secrets of men’s breasts have been searched out and tested.
