Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya Part III — Page 75
FOOTNOTE NUMBER ELEVEN FIRST OBJECTION این چراغ مرده از زور ہوا چوں ره باریک بنماید ترا How can this flickering lamp, ever swayed by the force of evil desires, Lead you through a narrow path? وحی یزدانی ز ره اگه کند تا بمنزل نور را همره کند Revelation of God points the way for you, And grants you the light that accompanies you until you reach the destination. مافتاده بے ہنر در جسم و جاں حمق باشد دم زنی با آن یگاں Our body and soul have no excellence, It is only foolish to pitch yourself against the One who is Peerless. چیست دین خود را فنا انگاشتن و از سر هستی قدم برداشتن What is faith? To consider oneself as non-existent, And to completely negate one's own being. چوں بیفتی با دوصد درد و نظیر کس ہمی خیزد که گردد دست گیر Whenever you fall down, shouting and crying for help, There is always someone who will come forward to hold your hand. با خبر را دل تپد بر بے خبر رحم بر کورے کند اہل بصر The heart of the wise bleeds for the ignorant, He who can see is kind to the blind. ہمچنیں قانون قدرت اوفتاد مر ضعیفان را قوی آرد بیاد Such is the law of nature, That the powerful take care of the weak. چوں ازیں قانون شود رحمان بروں رحیم یزداں از همه باید فزوں How then can the Gracious God be outside of this law! The mercy of God must exceed the mercy of all others. 75
