Ahmadis and the Aryas of Qadian — Page 66
66 Your love in this world [is the only reality] everything else is darkness, You are my beloved—this is pure love. For your sake I raised a handful of my dust, Ever since I heard that this is the condition of affection and loyalty. I felt the pain of the beloved erasing all trace of the self, When I died I burned, this is the goblet of foreverness. There are hundreds of difficulties in this love at every step, Alas! What should I do for this is what He has given me. May I never efface the trace of loyalty, may I never break this pledge, This is what the Eternal Beloved has said to me. Since I have found the Beloved enemies have descended upon my house, Hearts have become hardened—this is providence and destiny. They try to scare me arriving at my door step with great hue and cry, They show me a sword and axe, this occurs every moment. In the path of the Beloved this heart is not afraid of anyone, The entire world is clever, this is the only insane person. How can I relate to you my stories in pursuit of this path, These fights are of pain and anguish, this is the entire scenario. After having torn my heart to pieces all I desire is one glimpse, Call me not insane, this alone is true wisdom.
