لا وَعِزَّتِكَ لَيْسَ هذا ظَنِّيْ وَظَنَّ المُقَرَّبِينَ مِنْ عِبادِكَ وَالمُخْلِصِينَ مِنْ بَرِيَّتِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Nay, and to this Thy glory beareth me witness! Such is not my thought of Thee, nor the thought of those of Thy servants that have near access to Thyself, nor that of the sincere amongst Thy people.
