جواب بشنو نمایشت محبوب جان منست چگونه راضی شوم جز چشمم بیند و جز قلبم عارف شود قسم بجمالم یعنی جمالت که از چشم و دل خود هم میخواهم مستور باشی تا چه رسد بعیون غیر طاهره وای وای
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thereupon a Voice replied: “I love, I dearly cherish this emblem. How can I consent that Mine eyes, alone, gaze upon this emblem, and that no heart except Mine heart recognize it? By My Beauty, which is the same as Thy Beauty! My wish is to hide Thee from Mine own eyes: how much more from the eyes of men!”
