Chant of Masnavi by Abdul-Bahá

Enjoy this heavenly chant (click on red link here or at bottom), on the heels of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's Day of the Covenant (which marks His birthday - though it doesn't coincide with it - see note at end) and in anticipation of tomorrow's sober marking of His passing.

Note:
The Day of the Covenant "marks the [anniversary] of the birth of...'Abdu'l-Bahá," as stated in these letters written through Shoghi Effendi's secretary (link to them here):

"...the anniversaries of the birth and the ascension of 'Abdu'l-Bahá are not to be regarded as days on which work is prohibited...." (Shoghi Effendi's secretary then notes:) "These are the words of the Guardian." (8 March 1951)
"The Day of the Covenant Nov. 26th, and the Day of the Ascension, Nov. 28th, anniversaries of the birth and the Ascension of 'Abdu'l-Bahá must be observed by the friends coming together, but work is not prohibited." (21 January 1951)

Thanks to whoever it was that uploaded the chant!
