BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA PART FOUR اے یکے ذرہ ذلیل و خوار چه شود عاجز از توان دادار O despicable, abject speck of man! How could the Creator be impotent and weak in comparison to you! 108 امتحان کن گر اعترافی نیست لافی نیست ہمہ ایس راست است وعدة کج It is a fact, not mere boast on my part; If you believe me not, put me to test. به طالباں ندہم کا ذبم گر از و نشان ندهم I do not make false promises to seekers [after truth]; I would be a liar should I fail to present a sign of it. من خود از بهر این نشان زادم دیگر از ہر غمے دل آزادم Indeed I was born to fulfil this Sign, And I am free from every other concern, care, and grief. ایں سعادت چو بود قسمت ما رفته رفته رسید نوبت ما As this good fortune was my destiny, Gradually my time came. نعره ها میزنم بر آب زلال بھیچو مادر دواں پئے اطفال تا I am calling the world towards the fountain of limpid water, Like a mother who runs after her children, مگر تشنگان بادیه با گردم آیند زیں فغان و صلا So that, perchance, the thirsty wandering in the wilderness, Hearing my clamour and call, might come to me. لیک شرط است عجز و صدق و صفا آمدن با نیاز و خوف خدا But the condition is humility, truthfulness, and purity of heart, And coming with the awareness of their being needy and with the fear of God.
