Source (Arabic)
فَسُبْحَانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ أَنْتَ المَعْبُودُ بِالحَقِّ وَإِنَّا كُلٌّ لَكَ عابِدُونَ، وَأَنْتَ المَشْهُودُ بِالعَدْلِ وَإِنَّا كُلٌّ لَكَ شاهِدُونَ، إِذْ هُوَ المَحْبُوبُ بِالفَضْلِ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ المُهَيْمِنُ القَيُّومُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Glorified, immeasurably glorified art Thou! Thou art adored in Thy truth, and Thee do we all, verily, worship; and Thou art manifest in Thy justice, and to Thee do we all, verily, bear witness. Thou art, in truth, beloved in Thy grace. No God is there but Thee, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
