افرحي بما جعلكِ الله أفق النّور بما ولد فيكِ مطلع الظّهور وسمّيت بهذا الاسم الّذي به لاح نيّر الفضل وأشرقت السّموات والأرضون
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Rejoice with great joy, for God hath made thee “the Dayspring of His light,” inasmuch as within thee was born the Manifestation of His Glory. Be thou glad for this name that hath been conferred upon thee — a name through which the Daystar of grace hath shed its splendor, through which both earth and heaven have been illumined.
