Provisional Translation
- In the Name of Him Who is Rising from the Heaven of the Bayan
- By God, Khalil hath circumambulated the Cause of God
- And hath confessed what the Tongue of Grandeur hath pronounced.
- To that, the Tongue of God, the All-Glorious, is a Witness.
- Proclaim the Glad-Tidings of coming of the Day of God
- And His Sovereignty and His Grandeur and His Power
- So that they may find the Knowledge of the Word of God
- In this Blesses and Resplendent Day.
- We have ordained every individual
- To do that which exalts the station of The Word among our people
- And we have revealed what embodies Grandeur
- As a token of Our generosity for the souls,
- However, most of the people of the nation are asleep.
- They do not raise their heads from slumber, as if they are dead.
- They do not respond.
- They do not awaken to the sound of the clamoring
- Nor to the Trumpets blowing.
- Neither do they heed this Call that hath encompassed
- the heavens and the earth.
- We ask God, the Most Great,
- To assist His servants to hold fast to the hem of His robe,
- And to cling to His Most Mighty, Most Luminous cord.
- We want to make mention of our maidservant who was with you,
- Announce unto her the bestowals of her God
- And brighten her heart with the light of My mention.
- This is what we have decreed
- And have revealed the verses from the heaven of God’s bestowals,
- The All-Powerful,
- The All-Mighty.
