الأَعْظَمِ الأَبْهى وَهذا الطُّلُوعِ الأَنْوَرِ الأَسْنی، فَلَمَّا أَنارَ أُفُقُ العالَمِ وَأَتى الاسْمُ الأَعْظَمُ كَفَرُوا بِهِ وَبِآياتِهِ إِلاَّ مَنْ أَخَذَتْهُ حَلاوَةُ ذِكْرِكَ وَثَنائِكَ وَوَرَدَ عَلَيْهِ ما لا يُحْصِيهِ إِلاَّ عِلْمُكَ المُهَيْمِنُ عَلَى مَنْ فِي سَمائِكَ وَأَرْضِكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ يا إِلهِي بِأَنَّ مُنْزِلَ البَيانِ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
This is the Day, O my Lord, which Thou didst announce unto all mankind as the Day whereon Thou wouldst reveal Thy Self, and shed Thy radiance, and shine brightly over all Thy creatures. Thou hast, moreover, entered into a covenant with them, in Thy Books, and Thy Scriptures, and Thy Scrolls, and Thy Tablets, concerning Him Who is the Dayspring of Thy Revelation, and hast appointed the Bayán to be the Herald of this Most Great and all-glorious Manifestation, and this most resplendent and most sublime Appearance.
