"
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious!
She then uttered within herself such a cry that the Celestial Concourse
did shriek and tremble,
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious!
And she fell upon the dust and gave up the spirit. It seemeth she was
called and hearkened unto Him that summoned her unto the Realm on High.
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious!
Glorified be He that created her out of the essence of love in the midmost
heart of His exalted paradise!
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious!
Thereupon the maids of heaven hastened forth from their chambers, upon
whose countenances the eye of no dweller in the highest paradise had ever
gazed.
Glorified be our Lord, the Most High!
They all gathered around her, and lo! they found her body fallen upon the
dust;
Glorified be our Lord, the Most High!
And as they beheld her state and comprehended a word of the tale told by
the Youth, they bared their heads, rent their garments asunder, beat upon
their faces, forgot their joy, shed tears and smote with their hands upon
their cheeks, and this is verily one of the mysterious grievous
afflictions--
Glorified be our Lord, the Most High!
--Baha'u'llah
