Ahmad's Song (inspired from the "Tablet of Ahmad" by Baha'u'llah)
"He is the King" and "the All-Knowing." He is, in truth, the All-Wise.
And lo, the Nightingale of Paradise sings out in tones pure divine.
"With holy and sweet melodies", upon Eternity's Tree.
"Proclaiming to the sincere ones" of God ~ the glad-tidings of the One Who is near.
"Calling the believers in the Divine Unity to the court of the Presence of" His Bounty.
"Informing the severed ones of the message which hath been revealed by God"
"Guiding the lovers to the seat of sanctity and to this Resplendent Beauty."
Gather all His lovers to hear His Call.
~
Chorus: "Verily, He is the Tree of Life that bringeth forth the Fruits of God, the Exalted!"
Verily, He is the Real Treasure that showest forth the Gifts of God, the Powerful!
Verily, He is the Great Ocean that surges with the Pearls of God, the Splendid!
~
"He is the King" and "the All-Knowing." He is, in truth, the All-Wise.
And lo, the Nightingale of Paradise sings out in tones pure divine.
"With holy and sweet melodies", upon Eternity's Tree.
Whoso desireth, let him turn straight away.
And whoso desireth, let him forever stay...in the Crimson Court of this Heavenly Dove,
In the realm of His Sacred Love.
Verily, He is the Most Great Messenger, and the Ancient Beauty, our true Lord!
Verily He is the Most Greatest of all Lovers, the Sweetest Kind and the All-Knowing Teacher!
And in Heaven's Garden the Peerless Rose!

And lo, the Nightingale of Paradise sings out in tones pure divine.
"With holy and sweet melodies", upon Eternity's Tree.
Be thou so steadfast in God's sweetest Love that thy heart shall never waver ever.
Even if the swords of the bitter enemies rain blows down upon thee
And all the heavens and all the earth arise up against thy second birth.
Rely upon God, and the true Lord of Love and Hope.
Hold fast to the Heaven of His bright Holy Spirit! His Manifestation, His Holy Word!

Thus doth the Nightingale utter unto you
His Call from this most great and grievous prison
So that you may arise to serve this Holy Cause
And be a flame of fire's warm Love.
A river of life's joy eternal to servants of all humanity.
And never be of those who doubt in the very least.
Proclaim His Most Great Beauty for always,
And in every season His Love Divine!

And lo, the Nightingale of Paradise sings out in tones pure divine.
"With holy and sweet melodies", upon Eternity's Tree.
Remember His days during your hardest days
And all His distress and severe banishment
Behind His remote and lonely prison door. He suffered so greatly and more.
Forget not His bounties while He's absent. Forget not the joy of loving Him.
If thou art overtaken by affliction in His path, or degradation for His real Beauty,
Be thou not troubled ever thereby.
~
Verily, God will always help you see with fresh new eyes of love and wisdom, understandingly
Verily, God will always help you hear His Melody with brand new ears, and a heart that's free.
Verily, He is the Tree of Life that bringeth forth the Fruits of God, the Exalted!"
~
Verily, "God hath ordained for the one who chants this Tablet" sincerely
"the reward of a hundred martyrs and a service in both worlds" and for all time.
"God will dispel his (deep) sadness", and "solve his difficulties
And remove his afflictions" and recreate his soul,
Nourish his spirit, and surround him with love.
Transform his whole being forever more.
Make of him a character divine.
Verily, He is the Most Great Messenger, and the Ancient Beauty, our true Lord!
Verily He is the Most Greatest of all Lovers, the Sweetest Kind and the All-Knowing Teacher!
And in Heaven's Garden the Peerless Rose!
