BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA PART FOUR تا جہاں رسم دلبری بنہاد کس چو او دلبری ندارد یاد Ever since the custom of falling in love came into existence, No one could even imagine a beloved like this. آل شعاعی کزو شد است عیاں کس ندیده ز مهر و مه بجہاں The light it has manifested Has never been seen in the sun or the moon by anyone in the world. چند بر عقل خام ناز کنی نقص خود بنگر چه کنم تا تو دیده باز کنی How long will you take pride in faulty reason? What can I do that you might open your eyes? و کمال خدا ذلت خویشتن جلال خدا Look at your flaws and defects, and at the perfection of God; Reflect upon your indignity, and upon the glory of God. از رو عقل راه رب مجید کس ندید است و کس نخواهد دید No one has seen the path of the Glorious God through reason, Nor will they ever see it [through reason]. اندر آنجا که سوختن باید چوں رہے از قیاس بکشاید The place where one needs to burn oneself; How can the path towards it be opened through conjecture alone? تا نشد وحی حق مدد فرما تا نیاورد بو نسیم صبا Until divine revelation came down to help, and The morning breeze brought forth the fragrance of spring, عقل را زال چمن نه بود خبر طائر فکر بود سوخته چار Reason had no knowledge of that garden, And the wings of the bird of conjecture were burnt out. 138
