Source (Arabic)
يا أيّها المهاجر إلی اللّه بلّغ النّاس رسالات ربّك لعلّ يمنعهم عن شطر النّفس والهوى ويذكّرهم بذكر اللّه العليّ العظيم قل يا قوم اتّقوا اللّه ولا تسفكوا الدّماء ولا تتعرّضوا مع نفس وكونوا من المحسنين إيّاكم أن لا تفسدوا في الأرض بعد إصلاحها ولا تتّبعوا سبل الغافلين
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O thou that hast fled thy home and sought the presence of God! Proclaim unto men the Message of thy Lord, that it may haply deter them from following the promptings of their evil and corrupt desires, and bring them to the remembrance of God, the Most Exalted, the Most Great. Say: Fear God, O people, and refrain from shedding the blood of anyone. Contend not with your neighbor, and be ye of them that do good. Beware that ye commit no disorders on the earth after it hath been well ordered, and follow not the footsteps of them that are gone astray.
