Lawḥ-i-Bulbulu'l-Firáq

Lawḥ-i-Bulbulu’l-Firáq, provisionally translated as Tablet of the Nightingale of Bereavement or Nightingale of Separation, is a Tablet revealed in Arabic and Persian by Bahá'u'lláh. It has not yet been officially translated, but a provisional translation exists.

Adib Taherzadeh places the revelation of the Tablet during the final month that Bahá'u'lláh was in Baghdad after being informed He was to be exiled to Constantinople. He describes it as being addressed to the believers and writes the following regarding its contents:

"Bahá’u’lláh reminds His loved ones that the period of union has come to an end, that the Nightingale of Paradise has taken its flight from one branch and is now about to establish its nest on another"
