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 Brisbane, Australia with Yalda Ahmadi who sings “Hallowed” In English and Persian based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Brisbane, Australia in August 2023.
O FLEETING SHADOW!
Pass beyond the baser stages of doubt and rise to the exalted heights of certainty. Open the eye of truth, that thou mayest behold the veilless Beauty and exclaim: Hallowed be the Lord, the most excellent of all creators!
ای سایهٴ نابود
از مدارج ذلّ وهم بگذر و بمعارج عزّ یقین اندرآ چشم حقّ بگشا تا جمال مبین بینی و تبارک الله احسن الخالقین گوئی
Am Dm E Am
O Fleeting Shadow!
Pass beyond the baser stages of doubt
and rise to the exalted heights of certainty
C Dm E Am
Open the eye of truth,
that Thou mayest
behold the veilless Beauty and exclaim:
Am Dm E Am
Hallowed, hallowed,
hallowed be the Lord
Hallowed, hallowed,
the most excellent of all creators!
Am Dm E Am
Ay saa-yeye naabood
Az madaareje zole vahm bogzar
Va be ma-aareje ez-zeh yagheen andaraa
C Dm E Am
Cheshme hagh begoshaa
taa jamaale mobeen beenee
Va tabaarak allaho ahsanolkhaalegheen
goo-ee
