HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS وَأَرَى الْوَدَادَ أَنَارَ بَاطِنَ بَاطِنِي وَأَرَى التَّعَشُقَ لَاحَ فِي سِيُمَانِي I observe that love has illuminated the innermost domain of my innermost realm; And I observe that passionate love is writ large on my face. مَا بَقِيَ فِي قَلْبِي سِوَاهُ تَصَوُّرٌ غَمَرَتْ آيَادِي اللَّهِ وَجْهَ رَجَائِي No imprint has survived on my heart except that of Him; The favours of Allah have covered the face of my desires. فَفَدَا جَنَانِي صَوْلَةَ الْهَوْجَاءِ هَوْجَاءُ الْفَتِهِ أَثَارَتْ حُرَّتِي The winds of my love for Him scattered the dust of my being, My heart became enamoured by the intensity of those winds. أُبْرِى الْهُمُوْمَ بِمَشْرَفِيَّةِ فَضْلِهِ وَاللَّهُ كَافٍ لِي وَنِعْمَ الرَّاعِي I remedy the grief with the swords of His Munificence; And Allah is indeed sufficient for me, and what a great Shepherd He is! مَا شَمَّ انْفِي مَرْغَمًا فِي مَشْهَدٍ وَأَثَرْتُ نَقْعَ الْمَوْتِ فِي الْأَعْدَاءِ Nowhere did my nose ever smell the stench of humiliation; And I have raised the dust of death among the adversaries. 49
