حمد کن مقصود امکان را که باین شرافت کبری فایز شدی عنقریب دنیا و آنچه در او است مفقود و یبقی العزّة لأحبّآء ربّک العزیز الکریم
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Render thanks unto Him Who is the Desire of all worlds for having invested thee with such high honor. Erelong the world and all that is therein shall be as a thing forgotten, and all honor shall belong to the loved ones of thy Lord, the All-Glorious, the Most Bountiful.
