تَبارکَ مَولی الوَری الّذی بذکره انجذبت الذّرّات وَ نَطَقَ لسان العَظَمَة بما کان مکنوناً فی علمه وَ مخزوناً فی کَنزِ قُدرته انّهُ هوَ المهَيمنُ عَلی من فی الأَرض وَ السّماء بِاسْمِهِ المقتدر العَزيزِ المَنيع .

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Sanctified be the Lord of all mankind, at the mention of Whose name all the atoms of the earth have been made to vibrate, and the Tongue of Grandeur hath been moved to disclose that which had been wrapt in His knowledge and lay concealed within the treasury of His might. He, verily, through the potency of His name, the Mighty, the All-Powerful, the Most High, is the ruler of all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth.
