سُبْحَانَكَ يا إِلهِي قَدْ ظَهَرَتْ طَلائِعُ رَبِيعِ فَضْلِكَ وَاخْضَرَّتْ بِها أَراضِي مَمْلَكَتِكَ وَأَمْطَرَتْ سَحَابُ سَمآءِ كَرَمِكَ عَلَى هذِهِ المَدِينَةِ الَّتِيْ فِيها حُبِسَ مَنْ أَرادَ عَتْقَ بَرِيَّتِكَ، وَبِهِ تَزَيَّنَتْ أَرْضُها وَتَرَوَّى أَشْجارُها وَاسْتَفْرَحَتْ أَهْلُها،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Glory to Thee, O my God! The first stirrings of the spring of Thy grace have appeared and clothed Thine earth with verdure. The clouds of the heaven of Thy bounty have rained their rain on this City within whose walls is imprisoned Him Whose desire is the salvation of Thy creatures. Through it the soil of this City hath been decked forth, and its trees clothed with foliage, and its inhabitants gladdened.
