HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS ندامة ولا يتأسّفون، وجازوا شعابًا لا يجوزها المثقلون ولا يموتون إلا بعد أن يُخلفوا أَزْفَلةً من الذين يُرزقون معرفةً ويتقون. ويدعون كل دائق إلى عينهم ولا يسأمون، فيأتيهم كل من سمع نداءهم إلا الذين صموا وذحق لسانهم وجُنَّ جناهم فهم لا يتوجهون. وكذلك جرت عادة الكفرة، ما سمعوا نداء المرسلين وإن كانوا يطلقون، ولم يتيقظوا بحسيس ولا بصَهْصَلق حتى أخذهم العذاب وهم لا يشعرون. وجاهد النبيون لعل الله يزيل صيقتهم ولعلهم يبصرون، فقعدوا كامرأةٍ طالق وعصوا ربهم وأعرضوا كأنهم لا يعلمون. وطارت حواسهم 15 They traverse through canyons that the obese could never cross. They die only after they are to be succeeded by a people who are bestowed true knowledge and are righteous. Without fatigue they continue inviting the ignorant to their fountainhead. Everyone who hears their call hastens to them except those who are deaf and whose tongues are afflicted with disease and whose hearts are veiled so that they pay no heed. Such has been the practice of disbelievers that they turn a deaf ear to the call of the Messengers, no matter how painfully they call out to them; neither are they awakened by a faint sound nor by a vehement voice until the day of chastisement overtakes them unawares. Prophets strive hard to remove the cloud of dust from their eyes so that they might see, yet they sit still like a divorced woman, and disobey their Lord and turn away as if they know not, and lose their senses like the one whose speech is incomprehensible, and become immoral and foul-mouthed.
