Source (Arabic)
(٣٧) ﴿ ای بنده من ﴾
ملک بی زوال را بانزالی از دست منه و شاهنشهی فردوس را بشهوتی از دست مده * اينست کوثر حيوان که از معين قلم رحمن ساری گشته طوبی للشّاربين *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
(37) O MY SERVANT!:
Abandon not for that which perisheth an everlasting dominion, and cast not away celestial sovereignty for a worldly desire. This is the river of everlasting life that hath flowed from the well-spring of the pen of the merciful; well is it with them that drink!
