Thou seest, O Thou Who art my All-Glorious Beloved, the restless waves that surge within the ocean of my heart,

In my love and yearning towards Thee. 

I implore Thee, by the signs of Thy majesty and the evidences of Thy sovereignty, to subdue Thy servants by this Name

Here is the quote below followed by the quote with the chords:

"Be thou not unhappy; the tempest of sorrow shall pass; regret will not last; disappointment will vanish...Associate thou, as much as thou canst, with the relatives and strangers; display thou loving kindness; show thou forth the utmost patience and resignation. The more they oppose thee, shower thou upon them the greater justice and equity; the more they show hatred and opposition toward thee, challenge thou them with great truthfulness, friendship and reconciliation..."
 -Abdu'l-Baha

Be thou not unhappy; the tempest of sorrow shall pass;

Associate thou, as much as thou canst, with the relatives and strangers;

The more they oppose thee, shower thou upon them the greater justice and equity;

the more they show hatred and opposition toward thee,
challenge thou them with great truthfulness, friendship and reconciliation...(X2)

Be thou not unhappy; the tempest of sorrow shall pass; 
regret will not last; disappointment will vanish...

This is the day in which to speak. It is incumbent upon the people of Bahá to strive, with the utmost patience and forbearance, to guide the peoples of the world to the Most Great Horizon. Every body calleth aloud for a soul. Heavenly souls must needs quicken, with the breath of the Word of God
