Imprisoned for an action
A crime that He did not commit
Disdainful in His eyes
Attempted murder on
On his majesty
And no tribunal could place Him there
Barefoot and bareheaded
Chains dig deep into His skin
He is made to enter
Descend into the darkness
Descend into the darkest pit
The SÃu00adyáh-Chál
*ââ¦I beheld a maidenâ¦suspended in the air before Meâ
And the words that were said as she pointed to His head
Transformed the darkness into light
**âGod is sufficient unto m; He verily
Is the All-Sufficingâ
Hear the weeping, hear them cry
He waves goodbye to the lovers that stand by His side
Touch the angels, touch the sky,
Hear their gentle voices singing chanting in the night
*(Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By p. 101-102)
** (Shoghi Effendi (trans. ed.) The Dawn-Breakers, p. 632)
