Source (Arabic)
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ بِهِ تَحَرَّكَ القَلَمُ الأَعْلى وَبِذِكْرِهِ زُيِّنَتِ الأَلْواحُ فِيْ مَلَكُوتِ الأَسْمآءِ وَبِهِ سَرَتْ نَسَمَاتُكَ وَفاحَتْ نَفَحاتُ قَمِيصِكَ بَيْنَ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّماءِ، تَرَى وَتَعْلَمُ يا إِلهِي أَنَّهُ سَكَنَ فِيْ أَخْرَبِ البِلادِ لِتَعْمِيرِ أَفْئِدَةِ عِبادِكَ وَقَبِلَ الذِّلَّةَ الْكُبْرَى لِعِزَّةِ خَلْقِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I testify that through Him the Pen of the Most High was set in motion, and with His remembrance the Scriptures in the kingdom of names were embellished. Through Him Thy fragrances were wafted, and the sweet smell of Thy raiment was shed abroad amongst all the dwellers of the earth and the inmates of heaven. Thou seest and knowest full well, O my God, how He hath been made to dwell within the most desolate of cities, so that He may build up the hearts of Thy servants, and hath been willing to suffer the most grievous abasement, that Thy creatures may be exalted.
