Source (Arabic)
(٣٢) ﴿ ای بيگانهء با يگانه ﴾
شمع دلت برافروخته دست قدرت منست آن را ببادهای مخالف نفس و هوی خاموش مکن و طبيب جميع علّتهای تو ذکر منست فراموشش منما * حبّ مرا سرمايه خود کن و چون بصر و جان عزيزش دار*
Shoghi Effendi Translation
(32) O BEFRIENDED STRANGER!
The candle of thine heart is lighted by the hand of My power, quench it not with the contrary winds of self and passion. The healer of all thine ills is remembrance of Me, forget it not. Make My love thy treasure and cherish it even as thy very sight and life.
