123 FOOTNOTE NUMBER ELEVEN آں خدائے کہ آفرید جہاں ہست ہر آفریده را نگراں That God who created the world, He alone is the Protector of all creatures. ہر چہ باید برائے مخلوقات از لباس و خوراک و راه نجات All that His creatures need, Such as clothes, food, and the way of salvation, خود مهیا کند بمنت وجود که کریم است و قادر است و ودود He Himself provides it all, out of kindness and beneficence, For, He is Benevolent, Powerful, and Loving. چشم خود کن بکشت صحرا باز خوشه با خوشه ایستاده بناز Go out in the fields and see for yourself, How row after row of the ears of corn, dallying with one another, stand on their stems! همه از بهر ماست تا بخوریم درد و رنج گرسنگی نه بریم All of this is for us, so that, having benefited from them, We do not suffer from the pain and trouble of hunger. آنکه از بهر چند روزه حیات این قدر کرده است تائیدات چوں نہ کردی برائے دار بقا He, who, in this life of a few days, Has given us so much support, نظرے کن بعقل و شرم و حیا Will He not do the same for the Eternal Abode? Reflect over this with your intelligence and sense of shame and modesty.
