Hazrat Mirza ghulam AHmAD 90 ْ ُم ك ُ وَإِن ْ کَان َ فِي ْ شَيْء ٍ بِعِلْم ٍ حُسَيْن ُ َحْصُر ی ُ فَمَالَك َ ل َ تَدْعُوْه ُ وَالْخَصْم If your [champion] Muhammad Husain is really somebody who can be relied upon, Why do you not call him to your help and tell him that the enemy is getting hard on you? ٖ ِ بِنَظْمِه ِ فَأْت ُ کَالْحُوْت وَنَحْسَبُه ُ ُ وَنَأْسِر نَقْتَنِصْه َّ بَحْرًا حَل مَتٰی I consider Muhammad Husain to be an easy prey, like when one hunts a fish. Hence, you ought to produce a poem com - posed by him; Mark! No sooner does he enter the ocean of poetry’s metres than I shall hunt him down and overpower him. َأْتِنِي ْ أَصْبَحْه ُ کَأْسًا مِن َ الْھُدٰی ی ْ وَإِن ُ َقْدِر ی َ ْ کَان ِ إِن َء ال مْ ِ ْإ ال ِ ُ ل فَأَحْضِرْه If he came out to me, I would give to him the cup of guidance to drink the same morning he approaches me; So convince him to compose [the qa si dah] if he is really capable. ً َرْض ِ سُخْطَة ْأ ُ بِال ّٰ َه ُ الل ال إِذَا مَا ابْتَ ُ ٌ وَّمُعَزَّر ْرَم ك مُ َ قَالُوْا َئِل ال بِ When, as a Sign of displeasure towards him, God gave him a piece of land in Lyallpur, My opponents said it was an honour bestowed upon him. ِ وَالتُّقٰی َّ بِالتَّوَرُّع ُّ إِل الْعِز وَمَا ُ ٍ مُّطَھَّر وَقَلْب َا ی َ الدُّنْ ٍ مِّن وَبُعْد Honour is due only for self-denial and righteousness, And renunciation of the world, and purification of the heart.
