يا اولياء اللّه و امنائه ملوک مظاهر قدرت و مطالع عزّت و ثروت حقّند در باره ايشان دعا کنيد * حکومت ارض بآن نفوس عنايت شد و قلوب را از برای خود مقرّر داشت
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O ye the loved ones and the trustees of God! Kings are the manifestations of the power, and the daysprings of the might and riches, of God. Pray ye on their behalf. He hath invested them with the rulership of the earth and hath singled out the hearts of men as His Own domain.
