Source (Arabic)
بِحَيْثُ بَلَّغَ المُلُوكَ جَهْرَةً رِسالاتِكَ وَأَوامِرَكَ وَما أَرادَ فِيْ حِينٍ مِنَ الأَحْيانِ حِفْظَ نَفْسِهِ بَلْ حِفْظَ عِبادِكَ عَمَّا يَمْنَعُهُمْ عَنِ التَّقَرُّبِ إِلى مَلَكُوتِ قُرْبِكَ وَالتَّوجُّهِ إِلى أُفُقِ رِضائِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
So highly didst Thou exalt Him that He openly delivered unto the kings Thy messages and commandments, and hath never for one moment sought His own protection, but striven to protect Thy servants from whatever might withhold them from approaching the kingdom of Thy nearness, and from setting their faces towards the horizon of Thy good pleasure.
