Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 456 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
كلّ الملوك والسّلاطين يوقّرون ذرّيّة نبيّهم ورسولهم إن أنتم من الشّاهدين وأنتم فعلتم ما لا فعل أحد وارتكبتم ما احترقت عنه أكباد العارفين، ومع ذلك ما تنبّهتم في أنفسكم وما استشعرتم من فعلكم
Shoghi Effendi Translation
All the rulers and kings of the earth honor and revere the descendants of their Prophets and holy men, could ye but perceive it. Ye, on the other hand, are responsible for such acts as no man hath, at any time, performed. Your misdeeds have caused every understanding heart to be consumed with grief. And yet, ye have remained sunk in your heedlessness, and failed to realize the wickedness of your actions.
