The Most Holy Book (The Kitab-i-Aqdas)

"This is the Counsel of God; would that thou mightest heed it!

This is the Bounty of God; would that thou mightest receive it!"

"This is a Book which hath become the Lamp of the Eternal unto the world,

and His straight, undeviating Path amidst the peoples of the earth.

Say: This is the Dayspring of Divine knowledge, if ye be of them that understand,

and the Dawning-place of God's commandments, if ye be of those who comprehend."

~

Chorus: Nothing can compare in the whole universe with the Revelation of the Kitab-i-Aqdas!

The Kitab-i-Aqdas! (4x)

"We have unsealed the choice Wine with the fingers of might and power." (repeat)

This is the most great pure beauty of God! This is the glorious splendor of God! (repeat)

~

"This is the Utterance of God; if only thou wouldst apprehend it!

This is the Treasure of God; if only thou couldst understand!"

"Say: This is the infallible Balance which the Hand of God is holding,

in which all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth are weighed,

and their fate determined, if ye be of them that believe

and recognize this truth. Say: This is the Most Great Testimony,

by which the validity of every proof throughout the ages hath been established,

would that ye might be assured thereof. Say: Through it the poor have been enriched,

the learned enlightened, and the seekers enabled to ascend unto the presence of God....

Be ye as firmly settled as the immovable mountain

in the Cause of your Lord, the Mighty, the Loving." (Chorus)
