Notes:

Chanted by A. Nakhjavani [http://blog.loomofreality.org‌/?attachment_id=107], who related to the compiler in 1995 that, to the best of his recollection from childhood, this is how Shoghi Effendi would chant the Tablet in the Shrines

Translation:

Official translation

O God, my God! Lowly and tearful, I raise my suppliant hands to Thee and cover my face in the dust of that Threshold of Thine
