Restless (بی‌قرار) | Ninefold Sound

"Whither can a lover go but to the land of his beloved? and what seeker findeth rest away from his heart's desire? To the true lover reunion is life, and separation is death." — Bahá'u'lláh Restless (بی‌قرار) — Ninefold Sound A note on this passage: the two opening questions have no answers, and that is the point. There is nowhere else for the lover to go. The restlessness is not a problem to be solved — it is the proof of where the heart already belongs. Bahá'u'lláh writes that the true lover's breast is void of patience and his heart hath no peace, and that he would forsake a myriad lives to hasten to the abode of his beloved. The Persian word woven through this track is بی‌قرار — bi-qarâr, restless, without rest. It carries a weight the English cannot quite reach: not agitation, but a heart that cannot settle anywhere short of home. This Hidden Word was revealed in Persian, which is why Persian appears in the verses. Source: Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words, Part II (from the Persian), #4. Full text at bahai.org. The chorus and bridge are the revealed text, word for word and unchanged. The verses are original writing, not scripture.
