Source (Arabic)
قل لا مهرب لأحد ولا ملجأ لنفس ولا عاصم الیوم من قهر الله وسطوته إلّا بعد أمره وهذا أمره قد ظهر علی هیکل الغلام فتبارک الله من هذا المنظر المشرق العزیز البدیع
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Say: There is no place of refuge for you, no asylum to which ye can flee, no one to defend or to protect you in this Day from the fury of the wrath of God and from His vehement power, unless and until ye seek the shadow of His Revelation. This, indeed, is His Revelation which hath been manifested unto you in the person of this Youth. Glorified, then, be God for so effulgent, so precious, so wondrous a vision.
