Source (Arabic)
وَالَّذِيْ كانَ كذلِكَ هَلْ يُخَوِّفُهُ اجْتِمَاعُ المُلُوكَ عَلَى ضُرِّهِ فِي أَمْرِكَ، لا فَوَنَفْسِكَ يا مالِكَ المُلُوكَ لا يُجْزِعُنِي سَطْوَةُ العالَمِينَ فِي حُبِّكَ وَقُمْتُ بِنَفْسِي عَلَى أَمْرِكَ بِحَوْلِكَ وَلا يَضْطَرِبُنِي جُنُودُ الظَّالِمِينَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
How, then, can such a man be fearful of the combination of the kings to injure him in Thy Cause? No, no, I swear by Thyself, O Thou Who art the King of kings! Such is my love for Thee that I can fear no one, though the powers of all the worlds be arrayed against me. Alone and unaided I have, by the power of Thy might, arisen to proclaim Thy Cause, unafraid of the host of my oppressors.
