110 HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD فَلَمَّا أَجَزْنَا سَاحَةَ الْكِبْرِ كُلَّهَا أَتَانِي مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ وَحْيٌ يُكَبِّرُ When I had distanced myself from arrogance and covered the required distance, Only then was the revelation of the Gracious God vouchsafed to me, making me immensely honourable. دُعِيْتُ إِلَى أَمْرٍ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ يَعْسُرُ إِذَا قِيْلَ إِنَّكَ مُرْسَلٌ خِلْتُ أَنَّنِي When I was told that I had been sent by God, I thought I was being called for a task that the people will find hard to accept. دَعَوْتُ لِيُعْطَوْا عَيْنَ عَقْلٍ وَبُصِّرُوا وَلَوْ أَنَّ قَوْمِي انَسُوْنِي كَطَالِبٍ And, if my people had approached me as seekers of truth, I would have prayed for them that they be granted wisdom and insight. وَحَثُوْا عَلَيَّ الْجَاهِلِينَ وَتَوَّرُوْا وَلَكِنَّهُمْ عَابُوْا وَآذَوْا وَزَوَّرُوْا But, they sought only to find faults with me, inflicted pain upon me, told lies about me, And incited the ignorant against me. وَنَا شُوْا ثِيَابِي مِنْ جُنُونٍ وَأَعْذَرُوا وَعَيَّرَنِي الْوَاشُوْنَ مِنْ غَيْرِ خُبْرَةٍ And, the slanderers criticized me without having tried me or becoming fully aware of me; Deranged, they grabbed hold of my garments and made exag- gerated statements about my mission.
