سُبْحَانَكَ يا مَنْ بِيَدِكَ جَبَرُوتُ العِزِّ وَمَلَكُوتُ الخَلْقِ، تَفْعَلُ ما تَشَاءُ بِسُلْطَانِكَ وَتَحْكُمُ ما تُرِيْدُ بِقُدرَتِكَ، لَمْ تَزَلْ كُنْتَ مُقدَّسًا عَنْ ذِكْرِ المُمْكِناتِ وَلا تزالُ تَكُونُ مُتَعَالِيًا عَنْ ذِكْرِ المَوْجُودَاتِ، إِنَّ الوُجُودَ بِنَفْسِهِ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ مَعْدُومٌ تِلْقَاءَ ظُهُوراتِ عِزِّ وَحْدانِيَّتِكَ، وَالمَوْجُودَ بِنَفْسِهِ يَشْهَدُ بِأَنَّهُ مَفقُودٌ لَدَى تَجَلِّياتِ أَنْوارِ قُدْسِ فَرْدانِيَّتِكَ، كُنْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ مُسْتَغْنِيًا عَنْ دُونِكَ وَبِذَاتِكَ غَنِيًّا عَمَّا سِواكَ، وَكُلُّ ما يَصِفُنَّكَ بِهِ المُوَحِّدُونَ وَيَذْكرُنَّكَ بِهِ المُخْلِصُونَ إِنَّهُ ظَهَرَ مِنَ القَلَمِ الَّذِيْ حَرَّكَتْهُ أَصابِعُ قُدْرَتِكَ وَأَنَامِلُ قُوَّتِكَ الَّتِيْ كانَتْ مَقْهُورَةً تَحْتَ ذِرَاعِ أَمْرِكَ بِحَرَكَةِ عَضُدِ اقْتِدَارِكَ،

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Glory be to Thee, Thou in Whose hand are the heaven of omnipotence and the kingdom of creation. Thou doest, by Thy sovereignty, what Thou willest, and ordainest, through the power of Thy might, what Thou pleasest. From eternity Thou hast been exalted above the praise of all created things, and wilt to eternity remain far above the glorification of any one of Thy creatures. Existence itself testifieth to its non-existence when face to face with the manifold revelations of Thy transcendent oneness, and every created thing confesseth, by its very nature, its nothingness when compared with the sacred splendors of the light of Thy unity. Thou hast, in Thyself, been independent of any one besides Thee and rich enough, in Thine own essence, to dispense with any one except Thy Self. Every description by which they who adore Thy unity describe Thee, and every praise wherewith they who are devoted unto Thee praise Thee, are but the traces of the pen which the fingers of Thy strength and power have set in motion—fingers whose movement is controlled by the arm of Thy decree—the arm itself animated by the potency of Thy might.
