61 FOOTNOTE NUMBER ELEVEN FIRST OBJECTION چوں تو خود قانون قدرت بشکنی پس چرا بر دیگراں سر میزنی When you yourself break the law of nature, How could you object to others? آنکه در هر کار شد حاجت روا چوں رواداری که نبود رهنما He who has been providing for all needs, How can you believe that He would not guide you [in matters of faith]? آنکه اسپ و گاؤ خر را آفرید تا رہد پشت تو از بار شدید He who created horses, cows and donkeys, To free you from carrying a heavy load on your back, چوں ترا حیراں گذارد در معاد اے عجب تو عاقل و این اعتقاد How could He leave you bewildered about the Hereafter? It is very strange that you claim to be wise, and yet you hold this belief. چوں دو چشمت داده اند اے بے خبر پس چرا پوشی یکے وقت نظر O ignorant one! While you have been given two eyes, Why do you shut one when it comes to seeing? آنکہ زو ہر قدرتے گشتہ عیاں قدرت گفتار چوں ماندے نہاں The One who has manifested all kinds of powers, How could His power of speech remain hidden. آنکه شد هر وصف پاکش جلوه گر پس چرا این وصف ماندے مُستر When all His holy attributes have been manifested, How could this attribute of His have remained hidden? ہر کہ او غافل بود از یاد دوست چاره ساز غفلتش پیغام اوست Whoever neglects the remembrance of the Beloved, Can only be cured of his negligence by His message.
