Source (Arabic)
ْرَتِكَ وَلا يَلِيقُ لِجَنابِكَ، فَلَمَّا ثَبَتَ تَقْدِيسُ نَفْسِك العُلْيا عَنْ كُلِّ ما خُلِقَ فِي الإِنشآءِ وَخَطَرَ فِي قُلُوبِ الأَصْفِياءِ وَأَفْئِدَةِ الأَوْلِياءِ يَلُوحُ أُفُقُ التَّوحِيدِ وَيَظْهَرُ لِكُلِّ حُرٍّ وَعَبِيْدٍ أَنَّكَ وَاحِدٌ فِي ذات
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I swear by Thy might, O Thou Who art the King of names and the Maker of the heavens! Whatsoever hath been adorned with the robe of words is but Thy creation which hath been generated in Thy realm and begotten through the operation of Thy will, and is wholly unworthy of Thy highness and falleth short of Thine excellence.
