Source (Arabic)
يا أرض الطّاء لا تحزني من شيء قد جعلك الله مطلع فرح العالمين لو يشآء يبارك سريرك بالّذي يحکم بالعدل ويجمع أغنام الله الّتي تفرّقت من الذّئاب إنّه يواجه أهل البهآء بالفرح والانبساط ألا إنّه من جوهر الخلق لدی الحقّ عليه بهآءالله وبهآء من في ملکوت الأمر في کلّ حين
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Let nothing grieve thee, O Land of Ṭá (Ṭihrán), for God hath chosen thee to be the source of the joy of all mankind. He shall, if it be His Will, bless thy throne with one who will rule with justice, who will gather together the flock of God which the wolves have scattered. Such a ruler will, with joy and gladness, turn his face towards, and extend his favors unto, the people of Bahá. He indeed is accounted in the sight of God as a jewel among men. Upon him rest forever the glory of God, and the glory of all that dwell in the kingdom of His revelation.
