423 SUB-FOOTNOTE NUMBER THREE بر سماعت چوں ہمہ باشد بنا آن نیفزاید جوئے صدق و صفا Something that depends solely on hearsay Will never foster faith and purity to the slightest degree. صد ہزاراں قصہ از روئے شنید نیست یکساں باجوئے کال ہست دید A hundred thousand tales based on hearsay Cannot equal a grain of what one has witnessed. و از شراب دید هر دم ساقی است دیں ہمان باشد که نورش باقی است دل The true faith is one whose light is enduring And which serves the drink of divine cognition at all times. مده الا بخوبی کز جمال و انماید بر تو آیات کمال Give your heart to the Charming One and to none else, For He is the One who shows you magnificent Signs through His beauty. کوری خود ترک کن ماہے یہ ہیں اے گدا برخیز واں شاہے بہ بیں Cast off your blindness and look at the Moon! Get up, O beggar, and behold the King! رو به بین و قد به بین و خدبه بیس واز محاسنہائے خوباں صد ہیں به Look at the face, the stature, the figure; Look at the countless charms He possesses. یکدم از خود دور شو بهر خدا تا مگر نوشی تو کاسات لقا For the sake of God, turn completely away from your ego So that you may drink from the cups of divine union. دین حق شہر خدائے امجد است داخل او در امان ایزد است The true faith [Islam] is the city of the Glorious God, Whoever enters it comes under divine protection.
