Source (Arabic)
لَكَ الحَمْدُ يا إِلهِي بما أَظْهَرْتَ سُلْطانَ الأَيَّامِ الَّذِيْ بَشَّرْتَ بِهِ أَصْفِيائَكَ وَأَنْبِيَائَكَ فِي أَلْوَاحِ عِزِّ أَحَدِيَّتِكَ، وَفِيهِ تَجَلَّيْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ الأَشْياءِ بِكُلِّ الأَسْمآءِ، طُوبى لِمَنْ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْكَ وَفازَ بِلِقائِكَ وَسَمِعَ نَغَماتِكَ، أَيْ ربِّ أَسْئَلُكَ بِاسْمِ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Magnified be Thy name, O my God, for that Thou hast manifested the Day which is the King of Days, the Day which Thou didst announce unto Thy chosen Ones and Thy Prophets in Thy most excellent Tablets, the Day whereon Thou didst shed the splendor of the glory of all Thy names upon all created things. Great is his blessedness whosoever hath set himself towards Thee, and entered Thy presence, and caught the accents of Thy voice.
