HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS مَا شَاهَدَتْ عَيْنِي كَمِثْلِكَ مُحْسِنًا يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَعْرُوفِ ذَا النُّعَمَاءِ My eyes have not seen a Benefactor like You; O You Who keep on expanding Your favors, O You Who possess all blessings. أَنْتَ الَّذِي قَدْ كَانَ مَقْصِدَ مُهْجَتِى فِي كُلِّ رَشْحِ الْقَلَمِ وَالْإِمْلَاءِ You have indeed been the objective of my soul, In every droplet of ink and in the entire script I have dictated. لَمَّا رَأَيْتُ كَمَالَ لُطْفِكَ وَالنَّدَا ذَهَبَ الْبَلَاءُ فَمَا أُحِسُّ بَلَائِي When I witnessed the perfection of Your kindness and bestowals; Hardships vanished: now I do not feel my distress. إِنِّي تَرَكْتُ النَّفْسَ مَعَ جَذَبَاتِهَا لَمَّا أَتَانِي طَالِبُ الطَّلَبَاءِ I effaced my ego along with its emotions; When the One sought by all those who seek came to me. مُتُنَا بِمَوْتِ لَا يَرَاهُ عَدُوُّنَا بَعُدَتْ جَنَازَتُنَا مِنَ الْأَحْيَاءِ We have embraced a death that is invisible to our adversaries; Our funeral procession became far removed from the living. 45
