All a h the Exalted 1 4 Epitaph of Mirz a Mub a rak Ahmad (Urd u Poem) Mub a rak Ahmad, the darling of my heart, Pure of countenance, and pure of heart; He has departed from us today making the heart sad. He said "I feel sleepy"; those were his last words, But so soundly he slept as could not be awakened, We failed to wake him up though we tried hard; He was eight and a few months old when All a h summoned him; The Caller is, indeed, the Dearest, For Him alone O my heart, lay down your life. [Durr-e-Tham i n] Seek Him Alone O Friends (Urd u Poem) He watches over you while You set your heart upon others! What does He lack which You seek to find in the idols? Reflecting upon the sun, We did not find that light which is His; When we turned to the moon, That too was not like the Beloved. He is the One, has no partner, And is Imperishable; All others are prey to death, He alone is Eternal. All goodness lie In loving Him; Seek Him alone, O friends, Idols are unfaithful. Why are you fond Of this blighted abode? This place a veritable hell, Not a garden! [Tash hi dh-ul-Adh-h a n, December 1908]
