كَمْ مِنْ مَخْمُودٍ يا إِلهِي اشْتَعَلَ مِنْ نَارِ أَمْرِكَ، وَكَمْ مِنْ راقِدٍ انْتَبَهَ مِنْ حَلاوَةِ نِدَائِكَ، كَمْ مِنْ غَرِيبٍ اسْتَوْطَنَ فِيْ ظِلِّ سِدْرَةِ فَرْدانِيَّتِكَ، وَكَمْ مِنْ ظَمْآنٍ أَرادَ كَوْثَرَ الحَيَوانِ فِيْ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Many a chilled heart, O my God, hath been set ablaze with the fire of Thy Cause, and many a slumberer hath been wakened by the sweetness of Thy voice. How many are the strangers who have sought shelter beneath the shadow of the tree of Thy oneness, and how numerous the thirsty ones who have panted after the fountain of Thy living waters in Thy days!
