412 BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA PART FOUR نیست آن کامل نہ مردے زندہ جان گر خرد مندی از مردانش مخوال He is neither perfect, nor alive; If you are wise, do not consider him a man at all. کامل آن باشد که با فرزند و زن با عیال و جمله مشغولتی تن Perfect is he who, despite having wives and children And family and many worldly endeavours; با تجارت با همه بیع و شرا یک زمان غافل نگردد از خدا And despite engaging in businesses and transactions, Is not unmindful of God at any time. این نشان قوت مردانه است کا ملال را بس ہمیں پیمانه است This is the sign of the power of a truly masculine person; This alone is the criterion for the perfect. سوختہ جانے ز عشق دلبری کے فراموشش کند با دیگرے How can one whose heart is consumed in the love of the Beloved Forget Him and think of anything else? دست در کار و خیال اندر نگار او نظر دارد بغیر و دل به یار He may apparently be looking at something, but his heart is with the Friend. His hands may be occupied, but his thoughts are with the Beloved. سینه از هجران یاری ریش ریش دل طپاں در فرقت محبوب خویش His heart is restless in separation from the Beloved, And his soul is distressed in the absence of the Friend. از روئے کیسے دل دواں ہر لحظہ در کوئے کیسے اوفتاده دور He may be far from the Beloved's countenance, But his heart is always rushing towards the Beloved's abode.
