Correspondence with h a d rat Khaw a jah Ghul a m Far i d 197 تا مرا از قوم خود ببریده اند بهر تکفیرم چها کوشیده اند Ever since the people cut me off from my nation, They have made several attempts to declare me a k a fir. افتراها پیش هر کس برده اند ها سخن پرورده اند و از خیانت They slandered me in front of everyone, And fabricated many a false tale about me تا مگر لغزد کسی زان افترا مرا انگارد کافر لوحی ساده So that people may stumble due to these deceptions of theirs, And the naive come to consider me a k a fir. انگیختند ها فتنه ما ره در با نصاری رأی خود آمیختند They mischievously planted hurdles upon my path, And conspired with the Christians. کافرم خواندند از جهل و عناد اینچنین کوری، به دنیا کس مباد Out of ignorance and enmity, they call me a k a fir. Alas! If only there was no one so blind in the world. ها فزود بخل و نادانی تعصب شان ربود کین بجوشید و دوچشم Meanness and ignorance increased prejudice, And the fury of malice rendered them totally blind. خدا فضل از مسلمانیم ما مقتدا و امام را ما مصطفٰی I am a Muslim by the grace of God; Muhammad, the Chosen One, is my Imam and Leader.
