He has come to unite humanity,
And to heal the wound of separation.
Praise Baha'u'llah, God's Most Great Name,
Praise the Lord of Hosts, Baha'u'llah.
Ya Baha'u'l-Abha! Ya Baha'u'l-Abha!1

Now we greet a New Day and a New Year--
Alláh-u-Abhá! Alláh-u-Abhá!2--
With joyful gratitude and celebration.

Raise your voices in jubilation;
Unity is the watchword of the Day of God;
Zealous delight expressed creatively.
