أَشْهَدُ يَا إِلَهِي بِمَا شَهِدَ بِهِ أَصْفِيَاؤُكَ وَاَعْتَرِفُ بِمَا اعْتَرَفَ بِهِ أَهْلُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ الْأَعْلَى وَالْجَنَّةِ الْعُلْيَا وَالَّذِينَ طَافُواْ عَرْشَكَ الْعَظِيمَ. اَلْمُلْكُ وَالْمَلَكُوْتُ لَكَ يَا إِلَهَ الْعَالَمِينَ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I testify, O my God, to that whereunto Thy chosen Ones have testified, and acknowledge that which the inmates of the all-highest Paradise and those who have circled round Thy mighty Throne have acknowledged. The kingdoms of earth and heaven are Thine, O Lord of the worlds!
