طبیعیون هم منتظرند ولی انتظار شان نه بمثل الهیو نست که از شهر غیر معلوم بیاید و باخیل و حشم

Notes:
In "The coming of the promised one" by Albert Vail. Alternative Eng texts: KHH and DAS
Translation:
Provisional translation
The adherents of all the religions of the world are expecting the coming of a Promised One and they pray for his advent.... In principle they agree with the religionists, but in the mode of expression and phraseology they differ from each other. (KHH: Even the naturalists [are expectant]. However, their expectation is not like the religionists who claim, ‘He will come from some unknown city,,,')
