Gleanings — Paragraph 426
Source (Arabic)
يا معشر الملوك أنتم المماليك قد ظهر المالك بأحسن الطّراز ويدعوكم إلى نفسه المهيمن القيّوم إيّاكم أن يمنعكم الغرور عن مشرق الظّهور أو تحجبكم الدّنيا عن فاطر السّمآء قوموا على خدمة المقصود الّذي خلقكم بكلمة من عنده وجعلكم مظاهر القدرة لما كان وما يكون
Translation
Ye are but vassals, O kings of the earth! He Who is the King of Kings hath appeared, arrayed in His most wondrous glory, and is summoning you unto Himself, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. Take heed lest pride deter you from recognizing the Source of Revelation, lest the things of this world shut you out as by a veil from Him Who is the Creator of heaven. Arise, and serve Him Who is the Desire of all nations, Who hath created you through a word from Him, and ordained you to be, for all time, the emblems of His sovereignty.
