O my God! O my God! I ask thee to protect these two birds
[1] in the orchard of Thy mercy, confirmed in joy and happiness in the garden
of Thy bounties, warbling with the best melodies in the garden of Thy
knowledge. Verily Thou art the Precious, the Mighty, the Protecting!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
