    A Poem for The Master

    A youth from Bhubaneswar started an Instagram Page (Art inspired by Baha’i Faith) and in commemoration of the Centenary, wrote a poem, to create awareness about the Master. 

    Another friend from Bhubaneswar wrote a poem in Oriya, for the Most Mighty Branch, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. It was his tribute for Him.

    The exponent of Social Justice, 

    Most Mighty Branch of the Sadratu’l-Muntahá.

    Champion of Nobility and Prestige,

    He was ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

    The Perfect Exemplar of all Faiths, 

    For every Past Dispensation, He was a Meta. 

    For whose wisdom, humanity doted their wait;

    He was ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

    As Christ was born Son of God to this world, 

    Likewise, he was begotten of Baha’u’llah. 

    Hence the Glory of God let his Mystery unfurl – 

    He was ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

    The Absolute Demonstrator of Baha’i ideals, 

    The Last Protagonist of this Age’s Divine Drama.

    The world will learn more of his counsels and appeals, 

    Such was our ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.
