The Wronged One of the World

The Wronged One of the World:
To Baha'u'llah

He is the wronged one of the world,
At Him the spears of hate were hurled,
Still He revealed to all God's will,
He used a reed pen as His quill.

Forty years of revelation,
Wrote scriptures without cessation,
God's promises He did fulfill,
He used a reed pen as His quill.

He proclaimed divine unity,
The oneness of humanity,
Accepted completely God's will,
He used a reed pen as His quill.

He is the wronged one of the world,
He used a reed pen as His quill.
