98 HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD وَلَكِنْ عَلى مَا تَفْتَرِي لَا نَصْبِرُ صَبَرْنَا عَلَى سَبِّ بِهِ آذَيْتَنَا I remained patient in the face of the abusive language you employed to hurt me; But I cannot remain patient at the imposture you have attrib- uted to me. فَلَا تَهْلِكُوْا مُسْتَعْجِلِيْنَ وَفَكِّرُوْا وَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي صَادِقٌ لَسْتُ كَاذِبًا I swear by God that I am true in my claim and that I am not an imposter; So bring not ruin upon yourself by being impetuous; rather, ponder upon the matter. عَدَاوَةُ قَوْمٍ كَذَّبُونِي وَكَفَّرُوْا وَلَو كُنْتُ كَذَّابًا شَقِيًّا لَضَرَّنِي If I were a wicked liar, I would have incurred harm at the hands of those who, Out of their enmity, denounced me as an imposter and disbeliever. عَلَيَّ وَكَيْفَ رَمَوْا سِهَامًا وَجَمَّرُوا وَشَاهَدْتَ أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ كَيْفَ تَدَاكَثُوْا You have witnessed how people have raised an outcry against me, Maligned me and continue to fight me. رَمَوْا كُلَّ صَخْرٍ كَانَ فِي أَذْيَالِهِمْ بِغَيْظٍ فَلَمْ أَقْلَقُ وَلَمْ أَتَحَيَّرُ They threw upon me all the rocks they had, and they did this out of their ferocious anger against me; But I was neither distressed nor taken aback by this.
