Baha’is see the young as the most precious treasure a community can possess. In them are the promise and guarantee of the future. Yet, in order for this promise to be realised, children need to receive spiritual nourishment, such as can be found in the children’s classes happening all around the world.
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 Hamilton, New Zealand with Gloria Akhterjahan singing “Nanhe Baalak (Little Children)” in Hindi, from a prayer by Abdu’l-Baha.
This song was filmed and recorded in Hamilton, New Zealand, 21 February, 2021, and was composed by Gloria Akhterjahan.
HINDI
हे दयालु स्वामी! ये नन्हें बालक तेरी शक्ति की उंगलियों से बने हैं; ये तेरी महानता के अद्भुत चिन्ह हैं। हे ईश्वर! इन बालकों की रक्षा कर। इन्हें सहायता दे ताकि ये मानवजाति की सेवा के योग्य बन सकें। हे ईश्वर! ये बालक मोति हैं, इन्हें अपनी स्नेहिल कृपा की सीप में सुरक्षित रख। तू दयालु है और है सभी को प्रेम करने वाला।
अब्दुल-बहा
ENGLISH
O Thou kind Lord! These lovely children are the handiwork of the fingers of Thy might and the wondrous signs of Thy greatness. O God! Protect these children, graciously assist them to be educated and enable them to render service to the world of humanity. O God! These children are pearls, cause them to be nurtured within the shell of Thy loving-kindness. Thou art the Bountiful, the All-Loving.
Abdu’l-Baha
