Source (Persian)
لو تتوجّه بسمع الفطرة الی الاشياء تسمع منها قد اتی القديم ذو المجد العظيم * يسبّح کلّ شیء بحمد ربّه * منهم من عرف اللّه و يذکر و منهم من يذکر و لا يعرف * کذلک احصينا الامر فی لوح مبين *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
"Wert thou to incline thine inner ear unto all created things, thou wouldst hear: ‘The Ancient of Days is come in His great glory!' Everything celebrateth the praise of its Lord. Some have known God and remember Him; others remember Him, yet know Him not. Thus have We set down Our decree in a perspicuous Tablet.
