Source (Arabic)
ْمَتِكَ، يا إِلهِي هذا هُوَ الَّذِيْ قُلْتَ فِيْ حَقِّهِ لَوْلاهُ مَا نُزِّلَتِ الكُتُبُ وَما أُرْسِلَتِ الرُّسُلُ، فَلَمَّا ظَهَرَ بِأَمْرِكَ وَنَطَقَ بِثَنائِكَ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ أَشْرارُ خَلْقِكَ بِأَسْيافِ البَغْضآءِ يا مالِكَ الأَسْمآءِ، وَأَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ مَا وَرَدَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ هَتَكُوا سِتْرَ الكِبْرِياءِ وَنَبَذُوا عَنْ وَرَائِهِمْ عَهْدَكَ وَمِيثاقَكَ يا فاطِرَ السَّمآءِ، وَهذا هُو الَّذِيْ أَنْفَقْتَ رُوحَكَ لِنَفْسِهِ وَقَبِلْتَ ضُرَّ العالَمِينَ لِظُهُورِهِ وَنَادَيْتَ الْكُلَّ بِاسْمِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَتَى مِنْ سَماءِ العَظَمَةِ وَالاقْتِدارِ بَسَطَ عَلَيْهِ عِبادُكَ أَيادِيَ الظُّلْمِ وَالنِّفاقِ وَوَرَدَ عَلَيْهِ ما لا يَتِمُّ بِالأَوْراقِ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
He it is, O my God, about Whom Thou hast said: “But for Thee the Scriptures would have remained unrevealed, and the Prophets unsent.” And no sooner had He, by Thy behest, been manifested and spoken forth Thy praise, than the wicked doers among Thy creatures compassed Him round, with the swords of hate drawn against Him, O Thou the Lord of all names! Thou well knowest what befell Him at the hands of such as have rent asunder the veil of Thy grandeur, and cast behind their backs Thy Covenant and Thy Testament, O Thou Who art the Maker of the heavens! He is the One for Whose sake Thou (the Báb) hast yielded Thy life, and hast consented to be touched by the manifold ills of the world that He may manifest Himself, and summoned all mankind in His name. As soon as He came down, however, from the heaven of majesty and power, Thy servants stretched out against Him the hands of cruelty and sedition, and caused Him to be afflicted with such troubles that the scrolls of the world are insufficient to contain a full recital of them.
