--provisional translation by Baharieh Rouhani-Ma’ani
The most honoured, esteemed and respected mother.
He is God!
Praised be Thou O Lord, My God! This is My mother who hath acknowledged
Thy oneness, confessed Thy unity, attained the honour of meeting Thy
Manifestations in Thy days, reached the station of recognition and entered the
tabernacle of Heaven, for she loved Thyself and Thy Servant and held fast to
the cord of Thy love through the sanctified Temples of Thy Sovereignty.
I beseech Thee, therefore, O My God, to grant her the honour
of beholding Thy Beauty, and vouchsafe unto her the gift of Thy Presence. Give
her to drink then from the ocean of Thy mercy and the chalice of Thy forgiveness.
Make her to dwell, O My God, in the precincts of Thy mercy in the Heaven of
eternity. Grant her to hear Thy holy melodies that she may cast the veil from
her head in her eagerness to meet Thee and speed through the domains of Thy
nearness and union.
Thou art verily powerful over all that Thou desirest, and
Thou art verily the Mighty, the Most Luminous.
