A Critical Review of the Pamphlet, 'Fateh-e-Qadian' — Page 51

Matchlessness of I‘J A ZUL-MAS IH 51 the D i v a n that, ‘as I thought of writing the commentary such a heavy downpour of meanings and subjects fell upon my heart, that I realised it would require my whole life to put it in writing and I would not be able to do anything else. ’ ( Mehr-e-Mun i r, p. 245) It would have been a great achievement if P i r [Meher ‘Al i ] had accomplished this work instead of other engagements. However, the ‘heavy rain’ fell on the barren land and produced nothing. All their claims were empty boasts which had no real substance. Finally, the contest between the Promised Messiah as and P i r Mehr‘Al i Shah, concluded with a glorious victory for the Promised Messiah as. Every machination that the P i r devised turned against him. It is a great miracle indeed that Saif-e-Chishtiy a ’ i (sword of Chishtiyah), which was sharpened to attack the Promised Messiah as , ended up killing its author himself.
