Source (Persian)
بشنويد ندای قدس الهی و نوای خوش صمدانی را که چگونه در تلويح، انذار فرموده مکذّبين آيات را و بيزاری جسته منکرين کلمات قدسيّه را. و بُعد ناس را ملاحظه فرمائيد از کوثر قرب و اعراض و استکبار آن محرومان را بر آن جمال قدس. با اينکه آن جوهر لطف و کرم، هياکل عدم را به عرصه قِدَم هدايت می فرمود و آن فقيران حقيقی را به شريعه قدسيّه غنا دلالت می نمود مع ذلک بعضی می گفتند اين مردی است افترا کننده بر پروردگار عالميان و بعضی می گفتند اين منع کننده است ناس را از شريعه دين و ايمان و برخی نسبت جنون می دادند و امثال ذلک.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Give ear unto God’s holy Voice, and heed thou His sweet and immortal melody. Behold how He hath solemnly warned them that have repudiated the verses of God, and hath disowned them that have denied His holy words. Consider how far the people have strayed from the Kawthar of the divine Presence, and how grievous hath been the faithlessness and arrogance of the spiritually destitute in the face of that sanctified Beauty. Although that Essence of lovingkindness and bounty caused those evanescent beings to step into the realm of immortality, and guided those destitute souls to the sacred river of wealth, yet some denounced Him as “a calumniator of God, the Lord of all creatures,” others accused Him of being “the one that withholdeth the people from the path of faith and true belief,” and still others declared Him to be “a lunatic” and the like.
