The Light of Truth — Page 385
AN ODE Glad tidings to you, O community of brothers! Felicitations to you, O company of friends! The shimmering light of the Loving God's protection has become manifest, And the path has been opened for he who has eyes. The sun and moon have, in these lands, Been eclipsed in Ramadan—by the command of Allah. A glad tiding from our Chief, the Best of Creation, Has manifested, free from the pollution [of doubt]. It possesses a glory resembling a thunderbolt from the sky; It has bold conviction like that of the horseman preparing for battle.
