Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with Robecca Sebastian and Nishana Rajan singing “Bangkitlah (Arise)” in Malay, from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, September 2019.

Here is the quotation used for the lyrics in Malay, followed by the English translation and the quotation and chords below:

LYRICS/QUOTE MALAY:

“Bangkitlah, Wahai Manusia dan dengan kekuatan Tuhan berazamlah untuk mendapatkan kemenangan keatas dirimu sendiri agar seluruh bumi dapat dibebaskan dan disucikan dari pengabdiannya kepada dewa khayalannya yang kosong.”
-Baha’u’llah

LYRICS/QUOTE ENGLISH:

“Arise, O people, and, by the power of God’s might, resolve to gain the victory over your own selves, that haply the whole earth may be freed and sanctified from its servitude to the gods of its idle fancies…”
