Source (Arabic)
لا زال قلم مالک قدم بذکر دوستان مشغول و متحرّک گاهی فرات رحمت از او جاری و هنگامی کتاب مبین از او نازل اوست یکتا و خطیب اوّل دنیا لازال بر منبر تمکین متمکّن و بمواعظ کافیه و نصایح نافعه ناطق
Shoghi Effendi Translation
The Pen of the Ancient King hath never ceased to remember the loved ones of God. At one time, rivers of mercy have streamed from His Pen, at another, through its movement, God’s perspicuous Book hath been revealed. He is the One to Whom none can compare, Whose utterance mortal man can never rival. He it is Who from everlasting hath been established upon the seat of ascendancy and might, He from Whose lips have gone out counsels that can satisfy the needs of the whole of mankind, and admonitions that can profit them.
