Abdu’l-Baha was the eldest son of Baha’u’llah. When Abdu’l-Baha passed away on 28 November 1921, He was eulogized as One who led humanity to the “Way of Truth,” as a “pillar of peace” and the embodiment of “glory and greatness.”
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 Durban, South Africa with Solomzi Skiti singing “Ndonana Yesintu” in Zulu and in English, and which is based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Durban, South Africa, November 2018.
Lyrics & Quote
ZULU
O Ndodana Yesintu! Uma inhlanhla ikwehlela, ungathokozisi,futhi uma ukuthunazeka kuba kuwe,ungabi lusizi,ngoba ngokubili kuyodlula kushabalale.
Baha’u’llah
ENGLISH
O Son of Man! Should prosperity befall thee, rejoice not and should abasement come upon thee, grieve not, for both shall pass away and be no more.
