85 He shall be killed; this is the punishment of this offence. Then, its a strange lapse on the part of the Mighty Lord That He sees that such and such is so mischievous, That he is engaged in deception for twenty-five years, He has been doing this thing every day and night, (170) Every day he makes up something by himself, Then says that God told this thing last night, Even then He does not punish such a mischievous one As if He remembers not as to what He has said before. And this is even stranger that when supporters of the Faith Are ready to assist with or do the killing of such a person, That He does not help them at the time of planning So the matter is done with by the killing of the pretender. Not only is His own promise put aside, He does not Even observe the striving and efforts of others. (175) Is He not God Who is the God of the Quran? Then why does He show such loyalty to a pretender? After all, what is this thing that there is a pretender Who is let go free by God every time; When the enemies try to snare him in Trying so hard that they almost die doing it They get united to make their plans And make a hundred accusations of lies and deception, Even then they remain unsuccessful in their goals; Whatever they say repeatedly, all goes to naught. (180) They wish for disgrace but I get shown respect; Does a pretender meet with such an end? O leaders of the people! O supporters of the Faith! Think as to why God does not help you. You have no mercy, no justice and no virtue, For this reason God is not with you. You probably remember the times of Clark 116 When he accused me of murder for the sake of mischief And when you people met him with this thought That his fight may become easy with your help. (185) But He Who is the God of the helpless and the humble, He turned the heart of the ruler in my favour. You had intended to have me killed, You had considered it in your heart to be an easy thing, These people wished that I be hung on the cross, So you could take pride in this one thing that: “He was a liar and a pretender, so he got his punishment. ” Finally, God Himself came to my help; The entire affair of innocence became clear to Douglas And I was released with honour from that place.
