Correspondence with h a d rat Khaw a jah Ghul a m Far i d 201 شد نور کو کسی داند را نور نور ها دور شد و از حجاب سرکشی Only he can understand the Light [of God], who himself has become enlightened, And who has become distant from the veils of rebelliousness. کوران که تکفیرم کنند این همه کوران گمان از نور قرآن غافل اند بی All those blind people who are calling me a k a fir, Are most certainly unaware of the Light of the Quran, کالم این رازهای از خبر بی هرزه گویان ناقصان و ناتمام And are unfamiliar with the verities of this Word of God. They speak absurdities, and are defective and immature. شان استخوانی بیش نیست درکف درسرشانعقلدوراندیشنیست They have only bare bones in their hands, And they lack the intelligence needed for farsightedness. شان مردار هم اند و فهم مرده نصیب از عشق و از دلدار هم بی They are dead themselves, and their understanding is also dead; They are deprived of both love and the Beloved. مدار دین ماست فرقان الغرض فرقان او انیس خاطر غمگین ماست In essence, the Furq a n [Discrimination—Quran] is the foun- dation of my faith, It gives comfort to my melancholy heart.
