BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA PART FOUR رفت و بنگر ز تو چه با رفت است عمر اول ببین کجا رفت است Look how your earlier life has gone by! Look what you have lost by its passing away! پاره عمر رفت در خوردی پاره تازه رفت و بماند پس خورده را به سرکشی بردی Part of your life was spent in childhood, The rest you have spent in rebellion. دشمنان شاد و یار آزرده Prosperity has vanished, leaving affliction behind, The enemy is rejoicing and friends are aggrieved. صد چو تو مجھے بخورد زمیں سر هنوزت بر آسمان از کیس بشنو از The earth has devoured hundreds of arrogant like you, Yet you maliciously hold your head high. وضع عالم گزراں چول کند از زبان حال بیاں Listen to the condition of the mortal world, Which it is portraying with its prevailing condition, کیں جہاں باکسے وفا نکند نکند صبر تا جدا نکند That this world is faithful to none, Nor does it rest until it has detached someone from itself. گر بود گوش بشنوی آه از دل مرده درون تباه If you have ears, you would hear hundreds of sighs from within you, Let out by the decimated heart whose inner self has been ruined.
