55 Thou mended every affair of mine, my Dear Thou showed Thy graces day and night. (110) Thou gave me victories in every field Thou vanquished all the ill seekers. Thou fixed all my affairs that were amiss Holy is He Who has confounded my foes. The enemy is now destroyed with Thy help Thou art the Refuge for us in every place. Why is every ill wisher now disgraced? For he is now eclipsed like the sun and moon His face showing the darkness of the moon. Holy is He Who has confounded my foes. (115) With Thy grace, life is like a garden With Thy light the heart is like noonday sun. If the blind continue to deny and dissent, They do not know as to what is there in this breast. They could say whatever, but God is over their heads And then, one day, it is time for recompense. The fruit of evil is evil and regret Holy is He Who has confounded my foes. Thou hast all the power and might, O God By finding Thee we gained all our purpose. (120) Every lover takes on an idol In our heart, this Belovèd has made home. He is the peace of mind and heart’s desire The same Whom we call “Lord of all the Worlds”. He manifested unto me with support and bounties Holy is He Who has confounded my foes. My soul is attached with that Belovèd He is the Paradise and the Abode of Peace. Where is the strength in me to talk of Him? There is this mighty stream of love a flow! (125) What blessings Thine are these, O Guide of mine! Holy is He Who has confounded my foes. There is no paucity of favours Thine No moment there is ever free of them. The bounties and benevolence are countless I have no strength for gratitude a-now. What blessings Thine are these, O Guide of mine Holy is He Who has confounded my foes. Through which paths should I come to Thy lane? What is the service through which I find Thee? (130)
