Upon him be Baha’u’l-Abha!
O thou who art attracted to the Truth!
Many of the philosophers of the world and the great men of
different nations wished to attain the Truth, but they were deprived. Then
praise thou God that thou hast reached to the essence of the Truth and thou
hast heard the proclamation of the Kingdom and the teachings of the Lord of
Hosts. Through this great favor thou hast prospered and become victorious.
I pray, on thy behalf, that thou mayest become the
proclaimer of God in that city, that thou mayest awake the sleepers and warn
the negligent; that thou mayest become lighted like a torch and bestow the
light of guidance.
Upon thee be Baha’u’l-Abha!
