Source (Arabic)
وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهَا، سُبْحَانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ مِنْ أَنْ يُقاسَ أَمْرُكَ بِأَمْرٍ أَوْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ الأَمْثالُ أَوْ يُعْرَفَ بِالمَقالِ، لَمْ تَزَلْ كُنْتَ وَما كانَ مَعَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَلا تَزالُ تَكُونُ بِمِثْلِ ما كُنْتَ فِي عُلُوِّ ذاتِكَ وَسُمُوِّ جَلالِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Exalted, immeasurably exalted art Thou above any attempt to measure the greatness of Thy Cause, above any comparison that one may seek to make, above the efforts of the human tongue to utter its import! From everlasting Thou hast existed, alone with no one else beside Thee, and wilt, to everlasting, continue to remain the same, in the sublimity of Thine essence and the inaccessible heights of Thy glory.
