“Allah-u-Abha” by Sabin & Leticia

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 Manzini, Eswatini with Sabin Bachu and Leticia Bachu Nuru with support from Sanele Nhlabatsi and Xolani Tsele, singing “Allah-u-Abha” in French, from the Hidden Words of Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in Manzini, Eswatini, December 2018.

Lyrics & Quotes

FRENCH

O fils de la vision merveilleuse! J’ai insufflé en toi une parcelle de mon propre esprit afin que tu puisses être mon amant. Pourquoi m’as-tu délaissé et as-tu cherché un autre bien-aimé que moi?

Baha’u’llah

O fils de l’homme! Glorifie ma cause, afin que je puisse te révéler les mystères de ma grandeur et t’éclairer de la lumière d’éternité.

Baha’u’llah

O fils de l’homme! Le temple de l’existence est mon trône; purifie-le de toute chose pour que je puisse m’y installer à demeure.

Baha’u’llah

ENGLISH

O SON OF THE WONDROUS VISION! I have breathed within thee a breath of My own Spirit, that thou mayest be My lover. Why hast thou forsaken Me and sought a beloved other than Me?

Baha’u’llah

O SON OF MAN! Magnify My cause that I may reveal unto thee the mysteries of My greatness and shine upon thee with the light of eternity.

Baha’u’llah

O SON OF MAN! The temple of being is My throne; cleanse it of all things, that there I may be established and there I may abide.

Baha’u’llah
