سوف تنقلب فيک الامور و يحکم عليک جمهور النّاس انّ ربّک لهو العليم المحيط اطمئنّی بفضل ربّک انّه لا تنقطع عنک لحظات الالطاف سوف يأخذک الاطمينان بعد الاضطراب کذلک قضی الامر فی کتاب بديع
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Erelong will the state of affairs within thee be changed, and the reins of power fall into the hands of the people. Verily, thy Lord is the All-Knowing. His authority embraceth all things. Rest thou assured in the gracious favor of thy Lord. The eye of His loving-kindness shall everlastingly be directed towards thee. The day is approaching when thy agitation will have been transmuted into peace and quiet calm. Thus hath it been decreed in the wondrous Book.
