Behold the Help of My God 161 ََفْلَحُوْا اْل ْ ْ آنَسُوْنِي َّ قَوْمِي ْ اَن وَلَو ََفْلَحُوْا اْل ْ ْ آنَسُوْنِي َّ قَوْمِي ْ اَن وَلَو یْن ِ عُزِّرُوْا ِّ مِن َ الذُل ِّ فِي الدُّنْیَا وَفِي الد یْن ِ عُزِّرُوْا ِّ مِن َ الذُل ِّ فِي الدُّنْیَا وَفِي الد Had my people been able to recognize me, they would have been saved From humiliation in this world and they would have been accorded honour in the Hereafter. ْ ِ تَشَابَھَت ٌ بِالْیَھُوْد ْ قُلُوْب وَلٰـکِن ْ ِ تَشَابَھَت ٌ بِالْیَھُوْد ْ قُلُوْب وَلٰـکِن وَھٰذَا ھُو َ النَّبَا ُٔ الَّذِي ْ جَآء َ فَاذْکُرُوْا وَھٰذَا ھُو َ النَّبَا ُٔ الَّذِي ْ جَآء َ فَاذْکُرُوْا But some hearts became like those of the Jews; This being the very [prophesied] account that has come to pass, so remember it [well]. فَصِرْت ُ لَهُم ْ عِیْسٰی إِذَا مَا تَهَوَّدُوْا فَصِرْت ُ لَهُم ْ عِیْسٰی إِذَا مَا تَهَوَّدُوْا ٍ تَفَکَّرُوْا ْ لِقَوْم مِنِّی کَفٰی وَھٰذَا ٍ تَفَکَّرُوْا ْ لِقَوْم مِنِّی کَفٰی وَھٰذَا Thus, when they became ‘Jews’, I became, for them ‘Jesus’— This explanation should suffice from me for those who reflect. ٖ حَدِیْثِہ فِي نَا ِّ ُ نَبِی َّ وَعْد ْ تَم وَقَد ٖ حَدِیْثِہ فِي نَا ِّ ُ نَبِی َّ وَعْد ْ تَم ُوَقَد ر ِّ ٌ یُذَک ْ اِمَام ْ مِنْھُم جَاءَھُم ُاِذَا ر ِّ ٌ یُذَک ْ اِمَام ْ مِنْھُم جَاءَھُم اِذَا And surely, the promise of our Holy Prophet s as , mentioned in the a ha d i th has been fulfilled; For there has appeared among the Muslims an Im a m from among themselves who admonishes them and reminds them. ٍ اَبَارُوْا عَوَام َ النَّاس ِ مِن ْ سَم ِّ مَنْطِق ٍ اَبَارُوْا عَوَام َ النَّاس ِ مِن ْ سَم ِّ مَنْطِق وَزَوَّرُوْا ٍ عَلَیْنَا بِبُھْتَان وَجَاءُوْا وَزَوَّرُوْا ٍ عَلَیْنَا بِبُھْتَان وَجَاءُوْا They destroy people with the venom of their tongues; They slandered me, speaking lies. ً َ خِیَانَۃ َ یَفْعَلُوْن اْل َ م َا یَقُوْلُوْن ً َ خِیَانَۃ َ یَفْعَلُوْن اْل َ م َا ُیَقُوْلُوْن َت ِ بَیْت ٌ وَّمِنْبَر اْل ُیُخَالِف ُ فِي الْحَا َت ِ بَیْت ٌ وَّمِنْبَر اْل یُخَالِف ُ فِي الْحَا They fail to practice what they preach, and from the perspective of spirituality, Their condition in their home is very different from what they pro- nounce from their pulpit.
