تَرَى يا إِلهِي إِشْراقَ شَمْسِ كَلِمَتِكَ مِنْ أُفُقِ سِجْنِكَ بِما ارْتَفَعَ فِيهِ ذِكْرُكَ بِلِسانِ مَظْهَرِ ذاتِكَ وَمَطْلَعِ أَنْوارِ أَحَدِيَّتِكَ، وَبِذلِكَ تَضَوَّعَتْ نَفَحاتُ مَحْبُوبِيَّتِكَ فِيْ بِلادِكَ وَأَحاطَتْ أَهْلَ مَمْلَكَتِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thou beholdest, O my God, the Daystar of Thy Word shining above the horizon of Thy prison-city, inasmuch as within its walls He who is the Manifestation of Thy Self and the Dayspring of the light of Thy unity hath raised His voice and uttered Thy praise. The fragrances of Thy love have thereby been wafted over Thy cities and have encompassed all the dwellers of Thy realm.
