Source (Arabic)
یا أرض الطّآء یذکرك مولی الأسمآء في مقامه المحمود قد کنت مشرق أمر الله ومطلع الوحي ومظهر الاسم الأعظم الّذي به اضطربت الأفئدة والقلوب کم من مظلوم استشهد فیك في سبیل الله وکم من مظلومةٍ دُفنت فیك بظلم ناح به عباد مکرمون ...
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O Land of Ṭá! He Who is the Lord of Names remembereth thee in His glorious station. Thou wert the Dayspring of the Cause of God, the fountain of His Revelation, the manifestation of His Most Great Name — a Name that hath caused the hearts and souls of men to tremble. How vast the number of those men and women, those victims of tyranny, that have, within thy walls, laid down their lives in the path of God, and been buried beneath thy dust with such cruelty as to cause every honored servant of God to bemoan their plight.
