Source (Arabic)
لِيُذْكَرَ تِلْقآءَ ذِكْرِكَ، وَهَلْ لِدُونِكَ مِنْ ظُهُورٍ لِيَكُونَ دَلِيْلاً لِنَفْسِكَ أَوْ مَذْكورًا فِي ساحَةِ عِزِّ تَوْحِيدِكَ، لَمْ تَزَلْ كُنْتَ وَ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Who is there, O my God, that can be deemed worthy to be remembered when Thou art remembered, and where is he to be found who can be regarded as capable of hinting at Thy nature or worthy of mention in the court of Thy transcendent oneness? From everlasting Thou hast been alone with no one else beside Thee, and to everlasting Thou wilt continue to be one and the same. No God is there beside Thee, the God of power, of glory and wisdom.
