Source (Arabic)
هذا يوم فيه شَاخَصَت الأبصار وفزع من في الأرض إلّا من شاء ربّك العليم الحكيم قد اسْوَدَّت الوجوه إلّا من أتى الرّحمن بقلب منير قد سُكِّرَت أبصار الّذينهم كفروا عن النّظر إلى اللّه العزيز الحميد قل أَمَا
Shoghi Effendi Translation
This is the Day on which all eyes shall stare up with terror, the Day in which the hearts of them that dwell on earth shall tremble, save them whom thy Lord, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise, pleaseth to deliver. All faces have turned black except those to whom the God of Mercy hath vouchsafed a radiant heart. Drunken are the eyes of those men that have openly refused to behold the face of God, the All-Glorious, the All-Praised.
