It would mean: "The ability of the universe misfires (a projectile)."

{baH} means fire, specifically referring to firing a missile, rocket or torpedo.
The suffix {-Ha'} indicates some degree of undoing or mucking up.

Are the h's in Baha'u'llah pronounced roughly?  If not, {ba''a' 'u' la'}
might me a closer transliteration.  "Does the commander of the universe sit?"

Now this is a theological question. :)
