Words: From the Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh, the Prophet Founder of the Bahá'i Faith. Composed in Baghdad in 1274 AH (1857-8 CE), Bahá’u’lláh describes the Hidden Words as a distillation of the spiritual guidance contained in the successive Revelations of God. The Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh can be read in full at the Bahá’í Reference Library. Music composed by Sonbol Taefi Album Title: Along the Tigris Words in Persian: اي خاك متحرك ، من بتو مانوسم و تو از من مايوس . سيف عصيان شجره اميد ترا بريده و درجميع حال بتو نزديكم و تو در جميع احوال از من دور و من عزت بي زوال براي تو اختيار نمودم و تو ذلت بي‌منتهي براي خود پسنديدي . اخر تا وقت باقي مانده رجوع كن و فرصت را مگذار

Words written by Mahvash Sabet Music composed by Farahsheed Golbarani Produced by Stephen Small Translation of the words: Title : One day A day to see you once more A day to be with you once more From night till dawn, calm as a child Upon your breast, I can sleep once more. A day to weep with an anguished heart A day to sit and think of you I find a quiet spot to look on your kind face A photograph, hidden in the pages of a book. One day, one day, one day A day when I am despairing and hopeless Bereft and broken by the distance from you Sleepless, restless and alone Goodbye to patience, I stand with courage again. A day when drowning in thoughts of you I whisper my songs to the dawn I hold the soft strands of rain, my warm tears And weave a string of pearls. One day, one day, one day A day when all hopes of freedom Vanish like a reflection on the water It is mystery, the work of destiny My longing for you is the test and the torture. A day when the curtain falls upon This theatre of life and its games That life-giving star will come to my door And quench my thirst with its water of life. With a loud cry, with a loud cry, with a loud cry Someone will come through this door And herald glad tidings of freedom But I cannot hear, through the commotion and cheer It does not reach me, the happy verdict (freedom). That day, this door will be wide open The lock, the cage, they will be no more I will be in the warmth of your embrace You a stream of water and I the parched pilgrim. That day I will see you once more That day I will be with you once more From night till dawn, calm as a child Upon your breast, I can sleep once more.

From the album title 'Coral and Pearls', and featuring Elika Mahony, this song is a plea for healing of the multitudes of ailments affecting our world. The words were inspired by the following excerpt from the Writings of Abdul-Baha: “O my Lord, my Defender, my Help in peril! Lowly do I entreat Thee, ailing do I come unto Thee to be healed, humbly do I cry out to Thee with my tongue, my soul, my spirit: O God, my God! The gloom of night hath shrouded every region, and all the earth is shut away behind thick clouds. The peoples of the world are sunk in the black depths of vain illusions, while their tyrants wallow in cruelty and hate. I see nothing but the glare of searing fires that blaze upward from the nethermost abyss, I hear nothing save the thunderous roar that belloweth out from thousands upon thousands of fiery weapons of assault, while every land is crying aloud in its secret tongue: “My riches avail me nothing, and my sovereignty hath perished!” O my Lord, the lamps of guidance have gone out. The flames of passion are mounting high, and malevolence is ever gaining on the world. Malice and hate have overspread the face of the whole earth, and I find no souls except Thine own oppressed small band who are raising up this cry: Make haste to love! Make haste to trust! Make haste to give! To guidance come!” Composed and arranged by Stephen Small Vocals: Sonbol Taefi and Elika Mahony Strings: Jess Hindin, Mahuia Bridgman-Cooper, Joe Harrop, David Garner Guitars: Simon Gooding Bass: Mike Hall Backing Vocals: Rebecca Wright, Paul Lisi, Gail Tipene, Sharon Emirali Saylene Tanielu-Ulberg, Paul Voight Words: O Lord my Defender lo do I entreat I come to Thee for healing and I cry out to Thee Help me in my peril, humbly do I cry My riches avail me nothing and my sovereignty has died O Lord my Defender The lamps of guidance have gone out The flames of passion are burning high and malevolence abounds Hatred has overspread the face of earth and sky And I find no one except Thyself who is raising up this cry Make haste to love, make haste to trust Make haste to love, to give to guidance come Make haste to love, make haste to trust Make haste to love, to give, to guidance come Oh the nearer you are to the light, the further you are from the darkness Oh, the nearer you are to heaven, the further you are from the earth Oh, the nearer you are to God, the further you are from the world O Lord my Defender lo do I entreat I come to Thee for healing and I cry out to Thee Help me in my peril, humbly do I cry I find no one except Thyself to be raising up this cry Make haste to love, make haste to trust Make haste to love, to give to guidance come Make haste to love, make haste to trust Make haste to love, to give, to guidance come

Words: From a Prayer revealed by Abdu'l-Baha Music: Sonbol Taefi ای خداوند مهربان از من به من مهربان‌تری , محبّتت بیشتر و بیشتر . هر وقت یاد الطاف تو ‌نمایم، شادمان گردم و امیدوار شوم. اگر مضطربم راحت دل و جان یابم. اگر مریضم شفای ابدی جویم. اگر خائفم , امین گردم. اگر ناامیدم امیدوار شوم. ای ربّ الملکوت، قلب حزینم را امین فرما و روح ضعیفم را قوی کن و عصب ناتوانم را توانا فرما. چشمم را روشن کن و گوشم را شنوا فرما تا آهنگ ملکوت بشنوم و فرح و سرور ابدی جویم. تویی دهنده و بخشنده و مهربان
