Source (Arabic)
طُوبى لِمَنْ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْكَ وَسَرُعَ إِلى مَطْلَعِ أَنْوارِ وَجْهِكَ، طُوبى لِمَنْ أَقْبَلَ بِقَلْبِهِ إِلى مَشْرِقِ وَحْيِكَ وَمَصْدَرِ إِلْهامِكَ، طُوبى لِمَنْ بَذَلَ فِيْ سَبِيلِكَ ما أَعْطَيْتَهُ بِجُودِكَ، طُوبى لِمَنْ نَبَذَ ما سِواكَ فِيْ هَويكَ، وَطُوبى لِمَنْ آنَسَ بِذِكْرِكَ وَانْقَطَعَ عَمَّا دُونَكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Blessed is he that hath set himself towards Thee, and hasted to attain the Dayspring of the lights of Thy face. Blessed is he who with all his affections hath turned to the Dawning-Place of Thy Revelation and the Fountainhead of Thine inspiration. Blessed is he that hath expended in Thy path what Thou didst bestow upon him through Thy bounty and favor. Blessed is he who, in his sore longing after Thee, hath cast away all else except Thyself. Blessed is he who hath enjoyed intimate communion with Thee, and rid himself of all attachment to anyone save Thee.
