Be a lamp shining forth with the light of the virtues of the world of humanity
Be a Baha’i, Turn all your thoughts towards bringing joy to hearts
Be a Baha’i
Be illumined, Be spiritual, Be divine, Be glorious, Quickened of God
Be a Baha’i
You must manifest complete love
And affection towards all of mankind
Be a Baha’i, Be quickened of God, Be glorious
Be a Baha’i
