The Holy Prophetsa We are the humble servants of all the Prophets; We lie like dust on their threshold. May our life be sacrificed for the Prophet, Who showed the way to the True God O my Lord, by the host of the Prophets, Whom You sent with Your abundant grace; Grant me wisdom, as You have granted me a yearning heart; Grant me the wine, as You have granted me the goblet. O my Lord God, for the sake of Your chosen one, Whom You supported at every step; Hold my hand with compassion and generosity; Be my Friend and Helper in all my affairs. My reliance is on Your power even though I am like dust, or even humbler still. 335 [Brāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya, Rūņānī Khazā'in, Vol. 1, pp. 17-23] Leader of the Lovers of God (Persian Poem) That sovereign of all the world; Whose name is Mustafa-the chosen one; Who is the elite of the lovers of the True God; Who is bright like the midday sun. Verily, all light is due to his light; He who is accepted by him is accepted by God. He is the one that, for life, is the flowing water; And a limitless ocean of spiritual insight. He it is in support of whose truthfulness and excellence, Hundreds of incontrovertible proofs and arguments have been made manifest to the world. His countenance radiates the light of God; His path manifests the works of God.
