Source (Persian)
ای دوستان حقیقی صمیمی باوفای این مظلوم در نزد کل معلوم و مشهود است که این مظلوم مسجون بعد از صعود نیّر آفاق با نهایت احتراق از فراق در چه مصائب و بلائی از دست ناقضین میثاق افتاد
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O ye the true, the sincere, the faithful friends of this wronged one! Everyone knoweth and believeth what calamities and afflictions have befallen this wronged one, this prisoner, at the hands of those who have broken the Covenant at the time when, after the setting of the Day-Star of the world, his heart was consumed with the flame of his bereavement.
