وَجَعَلْتَهُ حاكِيًا عَنْهُما يا رَبَّنا الرَّحْمنَ، وَأَقَمْتَهُ مَقامَ نَفْسِكَ بَيْنَ مَلإِ الأَكْوانِ وَجَعَلْتَهُ مَطْلَعَ أَسْرارِكَ وَمَشْرِقَ وَحْيِكَ وَإِلْهامِكَ وَمَظْهَرَ أسْمائِكَ وَصِفاتِكَ الَّذِيْ بِهِ زَيَّنْتَ دِيْباجَ كِتابِ الإِبْداعِ يا مالِكَ الاخْتِراعِ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ لَهُو البِحارُ المُنْجَمِدُ وَالمُنْجَمِدُ البِحارُ لأنَّ بِسُكُونِهِ عَلَى أَمْرِ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thou didst raise Him up to occupy Thy throne before all the people of Thy creation. Thou didst enable Him to unravel Thy mysteries, and to shine with the lights of Thine inspiration and Thy Revelation, and to manifest Thy names and Thine attributes. Through Him Thou didst adorn the preamble of the book of Thy creation, O Thou Who art the Ruler of the universe Thou hast fashioned!
