هر مقبلی اليوم عرف قميص را يافت و بقلب طاهر بافق اعلی توجّه نمود او از اهل بها در صحيفه حمراء مذکور * خذ قدح عنايتی باسمی ثمّ اشرب منه بذکري العزيز البديع *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Every receptive soul who hath in this Day inhaled the fragrance of His garment and hath, with a pure heart, set his face towards the all-glorious Horizon is reckoned among the people of Bahá in the Crimson Book. Grasp ye, in My Name, the chalice of My loving-kindness, drink then your fill in My glorious and wondrous remembrance.
