أن یا حرف الحيّ کذلک نطق حینئذ ربّک في الرّفیق الأعلی بلّغ کلمات ربّک إلی العباد لعلّ یستشعرون في أنفسهم ویتوبون إلی الله الّذي خلقهم وسوّاهم وأرسل إلیهم هذا الجمال الدّرّيّ المقدّس المشهود...
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Such, O Letter of the Living, are the words which thy Lord hath spoken, and addressed unto thee from the realms above. Proclaim the words of thy Lord unto His servants, that perchance they may shake off their slumber, and ask pardon of God, Who hath formed and fashioned them, and sent down unto them this most effulgent, this most holy, and manifest Revelation of His Beauty.
