The Miraculous Qasidah 67 ً َرْض ِ سُخْطَة ْأ اْل ُ بِا هّٰللّٰ إِذَا مَا ابْت َاَلَه ُ ا ً َرْض ِ سُخْطَة ْأ اْل ُ بِا هّٰللّٰ ُإِذَا مَا ابْت َاَلَه ُ ا ٌ وَّمُعَزَّر مُکْرَم َ قَالُوْا ُب ِاَلَئِل ٌ وَّمُعَزَّر مُکْرَم َ قَالُوْا ب ِاَلَئِل When, as a Sign of displeasure towards him, God gave him a piece of land in Lyallpur, My opponents said it was an honour bestowed upon him. ِ وَالتُّقٰی َّ بِالتَّوَرُّع اْل ِ ُّ إ الْعِز وَمَا ِ وَالتُّقٰی َّ بِالتَّوَرُّع اْل ِ ُّ إ الْعِز ُوَمَا ٍ مُّطَھَّر وَقَلْب َا ی َ الدُّنْ ٍ مِّن ُوَبُعْد ٍ مُّطَھَّر وَقَلْب َا ی َ الدُّنْ ٍ مِّن وَبُعْد Honour is due only for self-denial and righteousness, And renunciation of the world, and purification of the heart. ٌ َ لَذِلَّة ْن ی ِ َ الْغَافِل َاة ی َ َّ ح وَإِن ٌ َ لَذِلَّة ْن ی ِ َ الْغَافِل َاة ی َ َّ ح ُوَإِن ْ تَکَدَّر أَو َ الصَّفَا ُ زَاد ْ قَلْبَه ُفَسَل ْ تَکَدَّر أَو َ الصَّفَا ُ زَاد ْ قَلْبَه فَسَل To live a life of remissness is a cause of shame for man; Ask him if his heart has now become purer as compared to the past, or is it still occupied by worldly abominations. ْ ْنُکُم ی َ َ حُس ْن ی َ فَأ ُ بَارَزْنَا نَحْن إِذَا ْ ْنُکُم ی َ َ حُس ْن ی َ فَأ ُ بَارَزْنَا نَحْن ُإِذَا أَخْبِر َ ُوَإِن ْ کُنْت َ تَحْمَدُه ُ فَأعْلِن ْ و أَخْبِر َ وَإِن ْ کُنْت َ تَحْمَدُه ُ فَأعْلِن ْ و Where will your [champion] Husain be when I will come out to con- front him? If you praise him so highly, let him know of this. ْ ِّٰ إِنَّنِي هّٰلل وَتَا ُ حَیًّا أَتَحْسَبُه ْ ِّٰ إِنَّنِي هّٰلل وَتَا ُ حَیًّا ُأَتَحْسَبُه وَیُقْبَر وَیُفْنٰی ْ یُّدْفٰی ُ کَمَن ُأَرَاه وَیُقْبَر وَیُفْنٰی ْ یُّدْفٰی ُ کَمَن أَرَاه Do you think he is living? By God, I see him as someone already perished, dead, and in the grave. ْ َتِي ی ِدَا ھ ْ َبْغِي ی َ لَو ْ شَاء َ رَبِّي ْ کَان َ و ْ َتِي ی ِدَا ھ ْ َبْغِي ی َ لَو ْ شَاء َ رَبِّي ْ کَان َ ُو ْ یُبَصَّر َ مِمَّن ْ کَان َ رَبِّي ْ شَاء ُوَلَو ْ یُبَصَّر َ مِمَّن ْ کَان َ رَبِّي ْ شَاء وَلَو If my Lord had so desired, Muhammad Husain would have accepted the truth; And if God my Lord had so willed, he would have recognized me.
