BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA - PART THREE پیش چشمت گرشدی این ثبت عیان از سر شک تو شدی جوئی روان If this idol were to be manifested before your eyes, A stream of tears would flow from your eyes. لیک از بد قسمتی چشمت نماند ثبت پرستی آخرت چوں ثبت نشاند How unfortunate of you that you lost your eyes to see! And at last idol-worship led you to make an idol of yourself. عقل در اسرار حق بس نارساست آنچه که که می رسد هم از خداست Reason cannot fathom divine secrets at all; Whatever it attains once in a while is also a bounty from God. گر خرد پاکیزہ رائے آورد آں نہ از خود ہم زجائے آورد Even when reason arrives at a fine point, It does not do so on its own, but procures it from a special source. تو به عقل خویش در کبر شدید ما فدائے آنکه او عقل آفرید Because of your reason, you have fallen into utter arrogance, While we are the devotees of Him who created reason. در قیاسات تہی جانت اسیر جان ما قربان علیم آن بصیر Your soul is the prisoner of unfounded conjectures, While we are ready to lay down our lives to the knowledge of the All-Seeing God. نیک دل با نیکواں دارد سرے برگہر تف میزند بد گوہرے The pious of heart have an affinity with the righteous, The ill-natured spit even upon pearls. بست بر اسرار اسرار دگر تا کجا تازد خر فکر و نظر Divine secrets are veiled in numerous mysteries, How far will the weak conveyance of thought and reason take you? 74
