Source (Arabic)
أشهد بأنّك المنظر الأكبر والمقرّ الأطهر ومنك مرّت نسمة السّبحان علی من في الأكوان واستفرحت قلوب المخلصین في غرفات الجنان والیوم ینوح بما ورد علیك الملأ الأعلی وسكّان مداین الأسمآء
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I testify that thou art the scene of His transcendent glory, His most holy habitation. Out of thee hath gone forth the Breath of the All-Glorious, a Breath that hath breathed over all created things, and filled with joy the breasts of the devout that dwell in the mansions of Paradise. The Concourse on high, and they that inhabit the Cities of the Names of God, weep over thee, and bewail the things that have befallen thee.
