Come Forth, O Seekers of Truth

1
Assaláh! O you wine drinkers, Assaláh!
Assaláh! O you who wear thread-bear rags, Assaláh!

2
Assaláh! Command, Faith, Measure, and Order
have descended from the presence of the Friend! Assaláh!

3
At this very moment the heavens rejoice!
The spheres fill with joy because of these glad tidings! Assaláh!

4
Behold with your chaste eyes, Behold!
In the heavens the Messiah is churning! Assaláh!

5
O you who are deserving of God’s grace, hearken!
Hear the voices of Vicegerents heralding from heaven! Assaláh!

6
O Tá, cry out once again and proclaim
the mystery of mysteries is disclosed with Joy ! Assaláh!

7
Flowing water springs forth in the desert!
Gnats appear in the fattáríyah land! Assaláh!

8
Indeed, behold how the phoenix has descend from qáf
and begins to ignite into flames! Assaláh!

9
The leviathan of eternity is restless on a small plot of land:
“Indeed, I am the living Truth!” Assaláh

10
O Chanticleer of Bahá’, trumpet out (your) curse :
“Indeed, I am on board in the midst of the storm!” Assaláh!

11
O God, behold the face of Tá!
Like dates, it has assumed a yellow hue! Assaláh!

12
O wine drinkers of eternity, now is the time for loyalty!
The Command of God, the Glorified, is being made manifest! Assaláh!

13
The Hidden Mystery is joyful,
for the Cause of God has descended from Qadar! Assaláh!

14
I swear by the changeless truth of God, the Eternal One,
God enriches all in a multitude of ways! Assaláh!

15
He Himself needs nothing—not even the smallest speck!
Verily, He will render non-existent whatsoever is not of Him! Assaláh!

16
He will bring forth the One whom He has fashioned:
the Qá’im, the Qayyúm, and the Dayyám ! Assaláh!

17
All of that which once was hidden has now descended
solely because of His benevolence and boundless grace Assaláh!

18
so that the concealed treasures of God arrive
detached from whatsoever is near or far. Assaláh!

19
O God! Assist the fallen One,
He who has fallen into the remotest depths! Assaláh!

20
O God! Cleanse whatsoever we behold
from the vilifications of the sullied ones. Assaláh!
