َّذِيْ بِكَ نُصِبَتْ رايَةُ أَنْتَ المَحْمُودُ فِيْ فِعْلِكَ وَارْتَفَعَتْ أَعْلامُ أَنْتَ المُطاعُ فِيْ أَمْرِكَ، عَرِّفْ يا إِلهِي عِبادَكَ هذا المَقامَ لِيَعْلَمُوا شَرَفَ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ بِأَمْرِكَ وَكَلِمَتِكَ وَفَضْلَ كُلِّ عَمَلٍ بِإِذْنِكَ وَإِرادَتِكَ، وَلِيَرُوا زِمامَ الأَعْمالِ فِيْ قَبْضَةِ قَبُولِكَ وَأَمْرِكَ لِئَلَّا يَمْنَعَهُمْ شَيْءٌ عَنْ جَمالِكَ فِيْ هذِهِ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِيْ فِيها يَنْطِقُ المَسِيحُ المُلْكَ لَكَ يا مُوجِدَ الرُّوحِ وَيَتَكَلَّمُ الحَبِيبُ لَكَ الحَمْدُ يا مَحْبُوبُ بِما أَظْهَرْتَ جَمَالَكَ وَكتَبْتَ لأصْفِيائِكَ الوُرُودَ فِيْ مَقَرِّ ظُهُورِ اسْمِكَ الأَعْظَمِ الَّذِيْ بِهِ نَاحَ الأُمَمُ إِلاَّ مَنِ انْقَطَعَ عَمَّا سِواكَ مُقْبِلاً إِلى مَطْلَعِ ذاتِكَ وَمَظْهَرِ صِفاتِكَ، أَيْ رَبِّ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ الْيَومَ غُصْنُكَ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thou art He through Whom the ensign “Praiseworthy art Thou in Thy works” hath been lifted up, and the standard “Obeyed art Thou in Thy behest” hath been unfurled. Make known this Thy station, O my God, unto Thy servants, that they may be made aware that the excellence of all things is dependent upon Thy bidding and Thy word, and the virtue of every act is conditioned by Thy leave and the good pleasure of Thy will, and may recognize that the reins of men’s doings are within the grasp of Thine acceptance and Thy commandment. Make this known unto them, that nothing whatsoever may shut them out from Thy Beauty, in these days whereon the Christ exclaimeth: “All dominion is Thine, O Thou the Begetter of the Spirit (Jesus)”; and Thy Friend (Muḥammad) crieth out: “Glory be to Thee, O Thou the Best-Beloved, for that Thou hast uncovered Thy Beauty, and written down for Thy chosen ones what will cause them to attain unto the seat of the revelation of Thy Most Great Name, through which all the peoples have lamented except such as have detached themselves from all else except Thee, and set themselves towards Him Who is the Revealer of Thyself and the Manifestation of Thine attributes.”
