Celebrating the two hundredth Anniversaries of The Birth of Baha'u'llah and The Bab |
Songs of the Ancient Beauty: To the Blessed Beauty Reverberating across the planet Earth, The songs of the Ancient Beauty, Engender humanity's new birth, And reveal the quintessence of unity. Their splendor echoes in expanding waves of life, Their brilliance fills the universe with love; Their radiance dispels alienation's strife, And illumines the horizon of unity. Their glory reflects in the lens of creation, Their effulgence infuses the humanity's spirit, Their warmth dispels winter's separation, And germinates the seeds of oneness. Their beauty is the mirror of divine qualities, Their symmetry harmonizes the doctrines of faith, Their grace joins religion's tapestries, And destroys the walls of segregation. Their grandeur resounds through expanding waves of light, Their majesty opens the gates of paradise, Their resplendence dissipates superstition's night, And unites humanity. Their light blazes in the lamp of religion, Their flame illuminates the path to unity, Their glow is the results of divine revelation, And disintegrates t he walls of intolerance. Their mercy is imparted through spiritual laws, Their benevolence intones the God's understanding, Of humanity's dual nature and flaws, And promises God's forgiveness of sins. Their words are chanted by God's supreme Manifestation1, Whose decree cleft the heavens asunder, The Divine pen uniting science and religion, Whose speech is echoed by the music of the spheres. Reverberating across the planet Earth, The songs of the Ancient Beauty, Engender humanity's new birth, And reveal the quintessence of unity. Poet's Note: ▼ Footnotes |
