Source (Arabic)
ٌ مِنْ عِلْمِكَ المَكْنُونِ ارْتَفَعَ ضَجِيجُ العُشَّاقِ مِنْ كُلِّ الأَشْطَارِ وَبِذلِكَ وَرَدَ عَلَى الأَخْيارِ ما بَكَتْ عَنْهُ سُكَّانُ سُرادِقِ مَجْدِكَ وَناحَتْ أَه
Shoghi Effendi Translation
No sooner, however, had the Pen traced upon the tablet one single letter of Thy hidden wisdom, than the voice of the lamentation of Thine ardent lovers was lifted up from all directions. Thereupon, there befell the just what hath caused the inmates of the tabernacle of Thy glory to weep and the dwellers of the cities of Thy revelation to groan.
