70 BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA - PART THREE عاقل آن باشد که جوید یار را و از تذلل با برآرد کار را Wise is he who seeks the Beloved, And achieves his objective through humility and submission. الے بہتر ازاں عقل و خرد کت بچاه کبر و نخوت افگند Foolishness is better than such reason and cleverness, That cast you into the pit of pride and self-conceit. طالب حق باش و بیرون از خود آ خود روی با ترک کن بهر خدا Seek the truth and come out of your ego, Abandon self-conceit for the sake of God. من ندانم ایں چہ ایمان ست و دیں دم زدن در جنب رب العامين I cannot understand what faith and what religion it is, To boast in the presence of the Lord of all the worlds. تو کجا و آن قادر مطلق کجا تو به گن این ایلی با کم نما Who are you to stand before the Omnipotent, Repent, and do not expose such foolishness. یک دے گر رشح فیضش کم شود ایں ہمہ خلق و جہاں برہم شود If He were to hold back the shower of His grace even for a moment, All of creation and the entire universe would come to naught. پست ہستی لاف استعلا مزن و از گلیم خویش بیروں پا مزن O insignificant creature, do not boast with such arrogance; And do not make any claims that go beyond the due limits of your capacities. عارف آں کو گویدش لاثانی است عابد آن باشد که پیشش فانی است A true servant of God is one who feels as nothing before Him, And the enlightened is he who calls Him Peerless.
