Source (Arabic)
فلمّا شاهدن حالها و علمن حرفاً من قصص الغلام عرّین رؤسهنّ و شققن ثیابهنّ و لطمن علی وجوههنّ و بدّلن عیشهنّ و بکین بعیونهنّ و ضربن بأیدیهنّ علی خدودهنّ و هذا من المصایب الخفیّة الکبری فسبحان ربّنا العلیّ الأعلی
Shoghi Effendi Translation
And as they beheld her state and comprehended a word of the tale told by the Youth, they bared their heads, rent their garments asunder, beat upon their faces, forgot their joy, shed tears and smote with their hands upon their cheeks, and this is verily one of the mysterious grievous afflictions –
Glorified be our Lord, the Most High!
