Source (Arabic)
سُبْحانَكَ يا إِلهِي وَالنَّابِضُ فِيْ قَلْبِيْ تَعْلَمُ وَتَرَى أَنَّ خَجْلَةَ أَحِبَّتِكَ تَرْجِعُ إِلى مَظْهَرِ نَفْسِكَ وَمَطْلَعِ أَمْرِكَ بَلْ إِنَّهُ يَرَى نَفْسَهُ أَخْجَلَ مِنْهُمْ عِنْدَ اعْتِرافِهِمْ بِما فاتَ عَنْهُمْ فِيْ أَيَّامِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Lauded be Thy name, O Thou Who art my God and throbbest within my heart! Thou art well aware and dost witness that whatsoever shameth them that are dear to Thee must shame also Him Who is the Manifestation of Thyself and the Dayspring of Thy Revelation. Nay, He is put to greater shame than they when they are led to confess the good things which have escaped them in Thy days.
