Source (Persian)
قد فاحت نفحات الرّحمن فی الامکان طوبی لمن وجد عرفها و اقبل اليها بقلب سليم * زيّن هيکلک بطراز اسمی و لسانک بذکری و قلبک بحبّی العزيز المنيع * ما اردنا لک الّا ما هو خير لک ممّا عندک و من خزائن الارض کلّها انّ ربّک هو العليم الخبير * قم بين العباد باسمی و قل يا ملأ الارض اقبلوا الی من اقبل اليکم انّه لوجه اللّه بينکم و حجّته فيکم و دليله لکم قد جاءکم بآيات عجز عنها العالمون * انّ شجرة الطّور تنطق فی صدر العالم و روح القدس ينادی بين الامم قد اتی المقصود بسلطان مبين *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
"The breezes of the Most Merciful have passed over all created things; happy the man that hath discovered their fragrance, and set himself towards them with a sound heart. Attire thy temple with the ornament of My Name, and thy tongue with remembrance of Me, and thine heart with love for Me, the Almighty, the Most High. We have desired for thee naught except that which is better for thee than what thou dost possess and all the treasures of the earth. Thy Lord, verily, is knowing, informed of all. Arise, in My Name, amongst My servants, and say: ‘O ye peoples of the earth! Turn yourselves towards Him Who hath turned towards you. He, verily, is the Face of God amongst you, and His Testimony and His Guide unto you. He hath come to you with signs which none can produce.' The voice of the Burning Bush is raised in the midmost heart of the world, and the Holy Spirit calleth aloud among the nations: ‘Lo, the Desired One is come with manifest dominion!'
