72 Nish a n-e- A sm a n i I solicit the Omnipotent to make it possible for me to fulfil this desire. I turn away from you? God forbid! I adore your face, O Leader and Defender of the Faith! Faith, that was dead, has regained vitality and strength with your advent; How could I possibly turn away from your holy discourse O my Revered sir? There is no affinity between me and faithlessness and straying; As long as I live, I shall be in at thy service and I shall be the most obedient and sincere of your servants. These ogres on the path of Truth attacked me repeatedly, They would have robbed me, had not God's Munificence guided me. These people of Jewish character do not know your worth; Therefore, I hear them reproach you as was the Prophet of Nazareth as. Anyone, who calls you a disbeliever, that very instant, becomes a disbeliever himself; May Allah, the Exalted, protect me from such a dastardly band. O Resplendent Sun! Be merciful to me, the blind one, and connive at whatever faults you perceive in me; As I am truly and sincerely penitent. As long as blood runs through my veins, I shall remain your slave from the core of my heart; Be gracious to me as I am standing at your door with all due humility. With your arrival, the Moonlight of the Faith of Ahmad has become fully bright; O Full Moon, you have appeared on the fourteenth night. 56 You have appeared exactly on time, according to the glad tidings of the Holy Prophet sa ; Peace on you! O Mercy of the Glorious God, O my Great Chief. 56 Fourteenth century of the Hijra. [Translator]
