70 HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD وَجَاءَكِ صَحْبِي نَاصِحِيْنَ كَإِخْوَةٍ يَقُوْلُوْنَ لَا تَبْغُوْا هَوًى وَتَصَبَّرُوا My friends approached you with a brotherly advice and Told you not to be driven by lowly desires; rather, exercise patience. فَظَلَّ أُسَارَاكُمْ أُسَارَى تَعَصُّبٍ يُرِيدُونَ مَنْ يَعْوِي كَذِئْبٍ وَيَخْتِرُ But those among you who were held by prejudice Looked for someone who could howl like a wolf and deceive. فَجَاءُوا بِذِئْبٍ بَعْدَ جُهْدٍ أَذَابَهُمْ وَنَعْنِي ثَنَاءَ اللَّهِ مِنْهُ وَنُظْهِرُ So, they finally procured the services of a wolf, And by that I mean Sanaullah, and I hereby state it clearly. فَلَمَّا أَتَاهُمْ سَرَّهُمْ مِّنْ تَصَلُّفٍ وَقَالَ افْرَحُوْا إِنِّي كَمِيٌّ مُّظَفَّرُ When he called on the people, he amused them with his boasts, And told them to rejoice, saying he would win. أَخَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَفِرُّوا وَيُدْبِرُوا وَقَالَ اسْتُرُوْا أَمْرِي وَإِنِّي أَرُوْدُهُمْ He told them not to disclose that he had already arrived, Lest the other party, which he said he was eager to face, should flee and run away. وَأَرْضَى اللَّقَامَ إِذَا دَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِهِمْ عَلَى النَّارِ مَشَّاهُمْ وَقَدْ كَانَ يَبْطَرُ He amused the people of that land by his arrival; He made them walk on fire, and rejoiced.
