138 HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD وَجَاءَ كَرَهْطٍ حَوْلَهُمْ عَامَةُ الْوَرَى شَطَائِبُ شَتَّى مِثْلَ عُمْرٍ فَأَنْكَرُوْا And, the ordinary people came up to them like a crowd, A bunch of people who disagreed with each other and behaved like a blind person. Hence, they denied me. أَنَاخُوْا بِوَادٍ مَا رَأَى وَجْهَ خُضْرَةٍ وَهَلْ عِنْدَ أَرْضٍ جَدْبَةٍ مَّا يُخَفِّرُ They camped in a jungle with no sign of vegetation; Can a barren piece of land generate any vegetation? عَلَى زُمْرَةٍ يَقْفُوْنَهُمْ أَتَحَسَّرُ فَأَبْكِي عَلَى تِلْكَ الثَّلَاثَةِ بَعْدَهُمْ I, therefore, cry over [the luck of] these three: Sanaullah, Mehr Ali, and Ali Hairi. And, I feel pity for those who follow these three. وَمَا إِنْ أَرَى فِيْهِمْ مَّخَافَةَ رَبِّهِمْ شُعُوبُ لِئَامٍ بِالْمَلَاهِي تَمَوَّرُوْا And, I do not see them having even a little fear of their Lord; They are a group of ill-fated people taking pride in their waste- ful activities. وَمَا قُمْتُ فِي هَذَا الْمَقَامِ بِمُنْيَتِي وَيَعْلَمُ رَبِّي سِرَّ قَلْبِي وَيَشْعُرُ And, I have not taken up this task of my own volition; God, who knows the secrets of my heart, is well-aware of this. مَتى يَأْتِنِي مِنْ زَائِرِيْنَ أُصَعِّرُ وَكُنْتُ امْرَءًا أَبْغِي الْخُمُوْلَ مِنَ الصِّبَا I was a person who, from the early days of his life, preferred seclusion; When someone wanted to see me, I sought solitude.
