Source (Arabic)
أَيْ رَبِّ أَنتَ الَّذِيْ أَخَذْتَ عَهْدِيْ مِنهُمْ فِي كُلِّ سَطْرٍ مِنْ كِتابِكَ وَأَكَّدْتَ ذلِكَ عَلَى شَأْنٍ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ اعْتِذارُ خَلْقِكَ، قُلْتَ وَقَوْلُكَ الحَقُّ لا يُعَادَلُ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ ما نُزِّلَ فِي البَيانِ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thou art He, O my Lord, Who hath, in every line of Thy Book, entered into covenant with them for me, and made it so sure that none of Thy creatures can any longer evade it. Thou didst say—and Thy word is the truth: “One single letter from Him excelleth all that hath been sent down in the Bayán.”
