Source (Arabic)
الغَيْبِ وَالشُّهُودِ إِنَّ الَّذِيْ شَرِبَ كَوْثَرَ حُبِّكَ مِنْ يَدِ عَطائِكَ لا تَمْنَعُهُ شؤُوناتُ خَلْقِكَ وَلا يَضْطَرِبُ مِنْ إِعْراضِ مَنْ فِي مَمْلَكَتِكَ، يُنادِيْ بِأَعْلى النِّدآءِ بَيْنَ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمآءِ وَيُبَشّ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
These are Thy servants whom the ascendancy of the oppressor hath failed to deter from fixing their eyes on the Tabernacle of Thy majesty, and whom the hosts of tyranny have been powerless to affright and divert their gaze from the Dayspring of Thy signs and the Dawning-Place of Thy testimonies.
