76 BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA PART THREE آنکہ او ہر بار ما برداشت است پیچ رحمت را فرو نگذاشت است God, who carries all of our burdens, And has not held back His mercy from us in the least, چوں زما غافل شود در امر دیں شرمت آید از چنیں انکار وکیں How can He ignore us in matters of faith? You should be ashamed of such denial and malice. یاد کن آخر وفا ہائے خدا دل منه در خاکدان بے وفا Give not your heart to this treacherous world; Do try to remember the acts of fidelity shown to you by God. و ذہول بار باشد بر تو ثابت کایں عقول مبتلا هستند در سہو It has been proven to you time and again, That these intellects are prone to forgetfulness and error. بارہا دیدی بعقل خود فساد بارہا زیں عقل ماندی بے مراد Time and again you have seen this defect of reason, And often you have failed to achieve your objective because of it. باز نخوت میکنی بر عقل خویش و از دلیری میروی نادیده پیش And yet you pride yourself in your reason, And so brazenly go your own way. نفس خود را پاک کن از هر فضول ترک خود کن تا کند رحمت نزول Free yourself from everything that is useless, Become selfless so that the mercy of God may descend on you. لیک ترک نفس کے آسان بود مُردن و از خود شدن یکسان بود And yet it is not easy to abandon one's ego, Dying to oneself is equal to death itself.
