Poems from Chad
Fasting in Chad-Pioneer Song
Break Fast in the moonlight Under paypaya trees. It could happen, it just might. God’s bounty, prayers and pleas, The Path is clear and bright. It is quite possible for him who sees. Under mango trees teaching others And learning how to love The children, fathers, and the mothers, Different colors, tongues and tribes. Always help from up Above. Can’t you feel the happy vibes? The days are long, the nights are not And forever it is hot! Did you want a life of ease? Or one as They had Full of love and cares and sadness That never seemed to cease? Look for the end in the beginning, The Glance of God and His protection Is on them in every nation; Is always helping, aiding Him who heeds and hears. God bless the pioneers.
Un Jour Saint
La Declaration du Bab “Le jour est pres, mais Il est cache. Cherchez le Qaim, A dit Siyyid Kazim. Mullah Husayn etait le premier a trouver le Bab, le 23 mai dans la ville de Shiraz en l’an 1844. Il rentre dans la maison Et une lumiere brilla au-dessus C’est le nouveau jour pour l’homme La Manifestation de Dieu est venue! Les lois anciennes sont oubliees, Et les nouvelles sont donnees. Le Promis va venir Ecoutez! Ecoutez! Et pour cette Illumination Nous aurons une celebration Un jour des prieres, Un autre jour ferie!
