BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA PART FOUR پر زعشق و تہی زہر آزے کشت وز ایشان نخاست آوازی They were impregnated with divine love, and were liberated from every greed; They were persecuted and slain, but they uttered not a sound. پاک گشته زلوث هستی خویش رسه از بند خود پرستی خویش They were cleansed of the filth of their egos, And were delivered from the bondage of self-conceit. آنچناں یار در کمند انداخت که نه دانند باد گر پرداخت The Beloved seized them in the noose of His Love, And they became totally oblivious to all other relations. قدم خود زده براه عدم گم بیادش ز فرق تا بقدم They set foot upon the road to self-negation, And from head to toe they were submerged in the remembrance of God. ذکر دلبر غذائے نغز حیات حاصل روزگار و مغز حیات The remembrance of the Beloved is the wholesome nourishment of their lives; It is the only aim of their existence, and the essence of their lives. سوخته ہر غرض بجز دلدار دوخته چشم خود زغیر نگار They have burnt down all their desires, except for the Beloved; They have shunned their eyes from everyone except the Beloved. دل و جان بر رخے فدا کرده وصل او اصل مدعا کرده They sacrificed their hearts and souls to one countenance alone, To unite with Him became their sole objective. 102
