HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS نَخْتَارُ أَثَارَ النَّبِيِّ وَاَمْرَهُ نَقْفُوْ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ لَا الْأَرَاءِ We adopt the traditions and injunctions of the Holy Prophetsas; We follow the Word of God and not any opinions. يَا مُكْفِرِى إِنَّ الْعَوَاقِبَ لِلتَّقَى فَانْظُرُ مَالَ الْأَمْرِ كَالْعُقَلَاءِ O you who denies me! A righteous person has a good end; Keep then, like people of wisdom, an eye on the ultimate outcome of things. إِنِّي أَرَاكَ تَمِيسُ بِالْخُيَلَاءِ أَنَسِيتَ يَوْمَ الظَّعْنِ وَالْإِسْرَاءِ I see, how you have a conceited and vainglorious gait; Have you forgotten about the Day of Travel, and the Night of Departure? تُبُ أَيُّهَا الْغَالِيُّ وَتَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ تُمْسِي تَعَضُّ يَمِينَكَ الشَّلَّاءِ O you who has crossed all bounds! Repent! The hour is-nigh; When you will bite your senseless hands! افَتَضْرِبَنَّ عَلَى الصَّفَاتِ زُجَاجَةً هَوِّنُ عَلَيْكَ وَلَا تَمُتُ بِإِبَاءِ Do you strike glass upon the slab of stone? Have mercy on your own self; do not perish due to your arrogant denial. 61
