وإنّك لم تزل كنت مقدّسًا عن وصف ما دونك وذكر ما سواك وتكون بمثل ما كنت في أزل الآزال لا إله إلّا أنت المتعالي المقتدر المقدّس العليم.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
No one else besides Thee hath, at any time, been able to fathom Thy mystery, or befittingly to extol Thy greatness. Unsearchable and high above the praise of men wilt Thou remain forever. There is none other God but Thee, the Inaccessible, the Omnipotent, the Omniscient, the Holy of Holies.
