SIRRUL-KHILAFAH-THE REALITY OF KHILAFAH 118 وَفَقَدُوا مِنَ الْأَهْوَاءِ قَلْبَ التَّدَبُّرِ وَقَدْ مَسَخَ الْقَهَّارُ صُوَرَ قُلُوبِهِمْ Allah, the Subduer, has caused their hearts to become twisted, And they have lost the ability to reason due to their evil desires. وَمَا بَقِيَتْ فِي طِينِهِمْ رِيحُ عِفَّةٍ فَذَرْهُمْ يَسُبُّوا كُلَّ بَرٌ مُّوَقَّرٍ Not an iota of righteousness remains in them; So, leave them alone to ridicule every revered truthful one. وَقَدْ جَاءَكَ الْأَخْبَارُ مِنْ كُلِّ مُخْبِرٍ وَقَدْ كُفِّرَتْ قَبْلِي صَحَابَةُ سَيِّدِي The Companions were declared infidels before me, And you have learnt of this from every source. وَمَا إِنْ أَرَى فِيْهِمْ خَصِيْمًا يَنْبَرِى يُسِرُّونَ إِيْذَائِي لِجُبْنِ قُلُوبِهِمْ They conceal their plans to harm me out of their cowardice, But when the disputants come forth to debate me, يَخَافُوْنَ أَسْيَافِي وَرُمْحِي وَخَنْجَرِي يَفِرُّونَ مِنِّي كَالتَّعَالِبِ خَشْيَةً They run away like foxes, Fearing my [spiritual] sword, bayonet and dagger. وَمِنْهُمْ حِرَاصٌ لِلنِّضَالِ عَدَاوَةً غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَوْ يُطِيقُوْنَ عَسْكَرِي Some of them are keen to fight out of enmity; They are stern and severe, but they cannot endure my rigour. قَدِ اسْتَتَرَتْ أَنْوَارُهُمْ مِّنْ تَعَصُّبٍ وَإِنِّي أَرَاهُمْ كَالدَّمَالِ الْمُعَفَّرِ Their light has been concealed by fanaticism; I see them covered in dirt.
