Welcome to the Hidden Words Project!

Each Hidden Word has a post that includes the names of artists that have put the Hidden Word to music as well as links to their music if available.

If you know of an artist/song/rendition that I have missed please comment with the information. This way together we can build a collection of music around the Hidden Words.

If you are an artist please consider putting one of the Hidden Words without a song yet to music. It will be a great service.

Thank you so much for visiting this blog and I hope it serves you well.

Persian Hidden Word #20

In the eighth of the most holy lines, in the fifth Tablet of Paradise, He saith:
O YE THAT ARE LYING AS DEAD ON THE COUCH OF HEEDLESSNESS! 
Ages have passed and your precious lives are well-nigh ended, yet not a single breath of purity hath reached Our court of holiness from you. Though immersed in the ocean of misbelief, yet with your lips ye profess the one true faith of God. Him whom I abhor ye have loved, and of My foe ye have made a friend. Notwithstanding, ye walk on My earth complacent and self-satisfied, heedless that My earth is weary of you and everything within it shunneth you. Were ye but to open your eyes, ye would, in truth, prefer a myriad griefs unto this joy, and would count death itself better than this life.

Shiva Rouhani has a beautiful version of this Hidden Word on YouTube.
