Hazrat Mirza ghulam AHmAD 72 َطْرُد ُ الْقَوْم َ بِالضُّحٰی ی ٌ وَکَان َ جِدَال ُ الْمَعْشَر ْھَا ی َ إِل ٍ أَوْمٰی خِطَّة إِلٰی The people set off at the growing brightness of the forenoon to witness the debate, At the place specified by the other party. ً ْرَۃ ی تَحَرَّوْا لِھٰذَا الْبَحْث ِ أَرْضًا شَجِ إِلَی الْجَانِب ِ الْغَرْبِي ِّ وَالْجُنْد ُ جُمِّرُوْا A piece of land with trees in it was chosen for the debate, Towards the west, and my companions were quartered over there. ِ َ قَوْمِه ِ مَقْبُوْل ُ هللا َ ثَنَاء َان ك َ ف ُ ِ سَرْوَر لِلتَّخَاصُم تَصَدّٰی وَمِنَّا Sanaullah was chosen by his people to be their representative, And Maulaw i Syed Muhammad Sarwar Shah came up to the stage from our side. ٍ َ کَأَجْمَة ِ کَان َ الْبَحْث َّ مَقَام کَأَن ُ َزْأَر ی ُ وَالْغَضَنْفَر َعْوِي ی ُ ِ الذِّئْب بِه The site of the debate appeared to be like a jungle, Wherein on one side howled a wolf, and on the other a lion roared. ُ ْ جُنُوْدَه ِ یُغْوِي ُ هللا َ ثَنَاء وَقَام ُ َهْذُر ی َّ وَیُغْرِي ْ عَلٰی صَحْبِي ْ لِئَامًا و There stood Sanaullah directing his party to misguidance, And provoking it through his mean talk against my companions. ٍ ِنَّة ك وَکَان َ طَوٰی کَشْحًا عَلٰی مُسْتَ ُ َهْجُر ی َ مَا رَاد َ نَهْج َ الْحَق ِّ بَل ْ کَان َ و Resolute had he become in his grudge against me; So, he refrained from stating the truth and turned abusive.
