Source (Arabic)
ای محبوب روحی در دل دمیدی و مرا از من اخذ نمودی و بعد مابین مشرکین و مغلّین نمایشی از من گذاشته‌ئی و جمیع بآن ناظر شده بر اعراض قیام نموده‌اند ای محبوب حال خود را بنما و مرا فارغ کن
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O My Well-Beloved! Thou hast breathed Thy Breath into Me, and divorced Me from Mine own Self. Thou didst, subsequently, decree that no more than a faint reflection, a mere emblem of Thy Reality within Me be left among the perverse and envious. Behold, how, deluded by this emblem, they have risen against Me, and heaped upon Me their denials! Uncover Thy Self, therefore, O My Best-Beloved, and deliver Me from My plight.
