692 HAQIQATUL-WAHI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION الہی بخش کے کیسے تھے یہ تیر کہ آخر ہو گیا اُن کا وہ نخچیر Strange indeed were the arrows of Ilāhī Bakhsh, For ultimately he himself became their prey. اُسی پر اُس کی لعنت کی پڑی مار کوئی ہم کو تو سمجھاوے یہ اسرار His curse struck upon his very own self- Will someone help me understand this mystery? تکبر سے نہیں ملتا وہ دلدار ملے جو خاک سے اُس کو ملے یار Arrogance does not lead one to the Beloved, The one who adopts utter humility becoming even as lowly as dust is the one who gets to meet the Beloved. کوئی اُس پاک سے جو دل لگاوے کرے پاک آپ کو تب اُس کو پاوے He who seeks the love of the Pure One, Must first purify himself, for only then would he meet Him. پسند آتی ہے اُس کو خاکساری تذلل ہی ره درگاه باری Humility He loves, And self-abasement alone is the path to His court. عجب ناداں ہے وہ مغرور و گمراہ کہ اپنے نفس کو چھوڑا ہے بے راہ How foolish is he who is arrogant and misguided, Who allows his self to stray and wander aimlessly! بدی پر غیر کی ہر دم نظر ہے مگر اپنی بدی سے بے خبر ہے Who is always on the lookout for the faults of others, But remains oblivious to his own misdeeds. Then again, on page 152 of his book Aṣā-e-Mūsā, Bābū Ilāhī Bakhsh announces the following revelation concerning me This happened on the 7th فَيَمُتْ وَ هُوَ كَافِرُ . رُدَّتْ إِلَيْهِ لِعَانُهُ وَ أُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ.
