410 BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA PART FOUR تا بعش چون انبیا گردد از نور نورش افتد بر همه نزدیک و دور Whose follower is enlightened like Prophets, Whose light falls on everyone far and near, شیر حق پر ہیبت از رب جلیل دشمنان پیشش چو روباه ذلیل Who is like a ferocious lion of truth from the Glorious God, Before whom, his enemies are like wretched foxes, ایں چنیں شیرے بود شہوت پرست ہوش کن اے رو بہی ناچیز و پست Can such a lion be a sensualist? Come to your senses, you wretched and vile fox! چیستی اے کورک فطرت تباہ طعنه بر خوباں بدیں روئے سیاہ O ill-natured and blind one! What is your worth? Do you dare, with your unsightly face, to criticize the beautiful! نے اسیر آں چو تو آں قوم مست شہوت شال از سر آزادی است The zeal of these lovers of God is due to their emancipation; They are not the slaves of passion like the uninformed people of your i ilk. و آل دگر داروغه سلطانی است خود نگه کن آں یکے زندانی است Imagine one who is a prisoner And the other who is the royal jailer; گرچه در یکجاست هر دو را قرار لیک فرقی هست دوری آشکار Though the two live in the same place, The difference between them is all too obvious. کار پاکان بر بدال کردن قیاس کار ناپاکال بود اے بد حواس To impute the vices of evil-doers to the righteous Can only be the work of the unclean, O befuddled one!
