ای دوستان الهی بشنوید ندای مظلوم را وبآنچه سبب ارتفاع امر الهی است تمسّک نمائید انّه یهدی من یشآء الی صراطه المستقیم این امریست ضعیف از او بطراز قوّت ظاهر و فقیر باکلیل غنا مزیّن
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Incline your ears, O friends of God, to the voice of Him Whom the world hath wronged, and hold fast unto whatsoever will exalt His Cause. He, verily, guideth whomsoever He pleaseth unto His straight Path. This is a Revelation that infuseth strength into the feeble, and crowneth with wealth the destitute.
