Source (Arabic)

ات الأمر من لدن مقتدر حكيم أن يا خليل تالله إِذًا يتحرّك القلم على اللّوح ولكن يبكي ويصيح في نفسه ويضجّ معه السّراج بين يدي العرش بما ورد على جمال القِدم من الّذينهم بعثوا بإرادة من عنده وكان الله على ذلك لشهيد وعليم ومن يطهّر أُذنه من نَعِيْق المشركين ويتوجّه إلى الأشياء ليسمع ضجيجها ثمّ صريخها فيما مَسَّتْنَا الضّرّاء من عبادنا المشركين كذلك ألقيناك ذكرًا من مصائبا لتطّلع بما ورد على نفسي وتكون فيما ورد عليك لمن الصّابرين أن انصر ربّك في كلّ شأن وكن من النّاصري

Shoghi Effendi Translation

O Ḵhalíl! God beareth Me witness. Though My Pen be still moving on My Tablet, yet, in its very heart, it weepeth and is sore distressed. The lamp burning before the Throne, likewise, weepeth and groaneth by reason of the things which the Ancient Beauty hath suffered at the hands of them who are but a creation of His Will. God, Himself, knoweth and testifieth to the truth of My words. No man that hath purged his ear from the loud clamor of the infidels, and inclined it to all created things, can fail to hear the voice of their lamentation and weeping over the trouble that hath befallen Us at the hands of those of Our servants that have disbelieved in, and rebelled against, Us. Thus have We disclosed to thee a glimmer of the woes that have come upon us, that thou mayest be made aware of Our sufferings, and patiently endure thy sorrows.
