Shaykh Ahmad-i-Ahsa'i

Shaykh Ahmad, Shaykh Ahmad, Shaykh Ahmad, you are a luminous Star.

Shaykh Ahmad, you are a wondrous Star.

Shaykh Ahmad, you are a beautiful Star, Star of Divine Guidance.

~

Be not saddened by what you see, for soon it shall pass away from thee.

Your duty, as bidden by the Almighty, is to unravel the mysteries

In the Sacred Scriptures, unfold the Sacred Scriptures.

Tell of the coming Revelation, tell of the new Manifestation!

~

Bridge: Shaykh Ahmad, don't be sad, please tell us about the Promised One.

Shaykh Ahmad, you know the truth.

Please tell us now what we're supposed to do.

~

Chorus: Shaykh Ahmad (4x)

You've seen the coming of the Glory of God.

O hasten us all to His Side, hasten us all to His Side.

Please bring us to Him 'ere we should die.

Please guide us to Him before you die.

Shaykh Ahmad (4x)

You've seen the coming of the Glory of God!

~

Bridge 2: Shaykh Ahmad, you seem so glad; please share with us your happiness.

Shaykh Ahmad, you make us strong; please tell us about the Promised One.
