As a proudly Australian initiative, we’re excited to showcase a collection of Australian stories, music, tributes and more.
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 Canberra, Australia with the Karabar Team who sing “Detachment” based on the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha.
This song was filmed and recorded in Canberra, Australia in November 2023.
May they hoist the sail of detachment
Upon the Ark of Salvation
And move over the seas of Thy knowledge.
May they spread wide the pinions
Of Unity and by their aid soar
Upward to the Kingdom of Thy singleness
To become servants whom the
Supreme Concourse will applaud,
Who praises the dwellers in Thine
All-glorious realm
Will utter; may they hear the heralds
Of the invisible world as they raise
Their cry of the Most Great Glad-Tidings
May they hoist the sail of
May they hoist the sail of
May they hoist the sail of detachment
May they in their longing to meet Thee
Invoke and pray unto Thee
Intone wondrous orisons at the dawn of Light.
O my Lord who disposest all things
Shedding their tears at morning tide and even
Yearning to pass into the shadow
Of Thy mercy that endeth never.
May they hoist the sail of
May they hoist the sail of
May they hoist the sail of detachment
C – G – Am - // (upbeat)
