Baha’i Blog’s “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 Fred and Munirih who sing “Berkat Ka Alai (Blessed is the Spot)” in Iban, from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

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

Lyrics & Quote

IBAN

Berkat ka alai
Enggau ka rumah
Enggau ka tempat
Enggau ka negeri
Enggau ka ati
Enggau ka bukit
Enggau ka pengelidung
Enggau ka goa
Enggau ka lebak
Enggau ka tanah
Enggau ka tasik
Enggau ka pulau
Enggau ka padang dini endur nama Petari disebut,
Lalu puji ia
Ti Bemulia

Baha’u’llah

ENGLISH

Blessed is the spot, and the house, and the place, and the city, and the heart, and the mountain, and the refuge, and the cave, and the valley, and the land, and the sea, and the island, and the meadow where mention of God hath been made, and His praise glorified.

Baha’u’llah
