The Miraculous Qasidah 83 ِ کُلَّھَا َ الْکِبْر سَاحَة أَجَزْنَا فَلَمَّا ِ کُلَّھَا َ الْکِبْر سَاحَة أَجَزْنَا ُفَلَمَّا ٌ یُّکَبِّر ِ وَحْي َ الرَّحْمٰن ْ مِن ُأَتَانِي ٌ یُّکَبِّر ِ وَحْي َ الرَّحْمٰن ْ مِن أَتَانِي When I had distanced myself from arrogance and covered the required distance, Only then was the revelation of the Gracious God vouchsafed to me, making me immensely honourable. ْ ْل َ إِنَّك َ مُرْسَل ٌ خِلْت ُ أَنَّنِي ی ِ إِذَا ق ْ ْل َ إِنَّك َ مُرْسَل ٌ خِلْت ُ أَنَّنِي ی ِ ُإِذَا ق َعْسُر ی ِ ْت ُ إِلـٰی أَمْر ٍ عَلَی الْخَلْق ی ِ ُدُع َعْسُر ی ِ ْت ُ إِلـٰی أَمْر ٍ عَلَی الْخَلْق ی ِ دُع When I was told that I had been sent by God, I thought I was being called for a task that the people will find hard to accept. ٍ ْ کَطَالِب ْ آنَسُوْنِي َّ قَوْمِي ْ أَن وَلَو ٍ ْ کَطَالِب ْ آنَسُوْنِي َّ قَوْمِي ْ أَن وَلَو ْن َ عَقْل ٍ وَبُصِّرُوْا ی دَعَوْت ُ لِیُعْطَوْا عَ ْن َ عَقْل ٍ وَبُصِّرُوْا ی دَعَوْت ُ لِیُعْطَوْا عَ And, if my people had approached me as seekers of truth, I would have prayed for them that they be granted wisdom and insight. وَزَوَّرُوْا وَآذَوْا ْ عَابُوْا وَلٰـکِنَّهُم وَزَوَّرُوْا وَآذَوْا ْ عَابُوْا وَلٰـکِنَّهُم َ وَثَوَّرُوْا ْن ی َّ الْجَاھِلِ عَلَي وَحَثُّوْا َ وَثَوَّرُوْا ْن ی َّ الْجَاھِلِ عَلَي وَحَثُّوْا But, they sought only to find faults with me, inflicted pain upon me, told lies about me, And incited the ignorant against me. ٍ ِ خُبْرَة ْر ی ْ غَ َ مِن الْوَاشُوْن َّرَنِي ی وَعَ ٍ ِ خُبْرَة ْر ی ْ غَ َ مِن الْوَاشُوْن َّرَنِي ی وَعَ َابِي ْ مِن ْ جُنُوْن ٍ وَّأعْذَرُوْا ی وَنَاشُوْا ثِ َابِي ْ مِن ْ جُنُوْن ٍ وَّأعْذَرُوْا ی وَنَاشُوْا ثِ And, the slanderers criticized me without having tried me or becom- ing fully aware of me; Deranged, they grabbed hold of my garments and made exagger- ated statements about my mission. ْف َ خَالَطُوْا ی عَجِبْت ُ لَھُم ْ فِي ْ حَرْبِنَا کَ ْف َ خَالَطُوْا ی ُعَجِبْت ُ لَھُم ْ فِي ْ حَرْبِنَا کَ تَنَمُّر َ ْ و ْنَهُم ی َ ٌ ب َ ضِغْن َبْق ی ْ لَم َ ُو تَنَمُّر َ ْ و ْنَهُم ی َ ٌ ب َ ضِغْن َبْق ی ْ لَم َ و It surprised me how they all became part of this fight against me, Ignoring their own mutual animosity and malice.
