بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم. الحمد لله الذی تقهر بتقهیر تقهر اقتهار قهر قهاریته علی کینونیات المشرکات من الممکنات... اما بعد فاعلم یا ایها الکافر بالله والمشرک بآیاته والمعرض عن جنابه والمستکبر عن بابه

Translation:

Provisional translation

Praise be to God Who, through His transcendent dominion, His sovereign power and His all-subduing might, hath prevailed over the essences of those beings who have joined partners with Him from among all contingent things... And now know thou, O thou who hast disbelieved in God, associated partners with His signs, turned away from His presence and shown pride before His gate [3.5s]
