(٤٥) ﴿ يَا ابْنَ الوُجُودِ ﴾
اسْتَشْهِدْ فِي سَبِيلي رَاضِيًا عَنّي وَشاكِرًا لِقَضائِي، لِتَسْتَريحَ مَعِي فِي قِبابِ العَظَمَةِ خَلْفَ سُرادِقِ الْعِزَّةِ.

(45) O SON OF BEING!
Seek a martyr’s death in My path, content with My pleasure and thankful for that which I ordain, that thou mayest repose with Me beneath the canopy of majesty behind the tabernacle of glory.
