Grace and Blessings of God 187 ابتہ ِ رطفت وکرک اے ی ت چ �یس� ح �ی�اہ � روےئ خ ی� � ہنعط رب وخابن دب O ill-natured and blind one! What is your worth? Do you dare, with your unsightly face, to criticize the beautiful! وہشت ِ اشن از رس آزادی اتس ن وقم تسم آ ن وچ وت آ ِ ر ےن اس�ی� The zeal of these lovers of God is due to their emancipation; They are not the slaves of passion like the uninformed people of your ilk. زدناین اتس �یکے ن آ وخد ہگن نک اتس ِ اطلسین ٴ داروہغ درگ ن آ و Imagine one who is a prisoner And the other who is the royal jailer; �اتس رہ دو را رقار ب ح �یک رگہچ در آاکشر دوری تسہ رفیق ل�یک Though the two live in the same place, The difference between them is all too obvious. اکر اپاکن رب دبان رکدن ق�ی�اس دبوحاس اے وبد ِ اناپاکن اکر To impute the vices of evil-doers to the righteous Can only be the work of the unclean, O befuddled one! اکالمن زک وشق دربل یم رودن � ر یم رودن ت �بک� � ابد و دص ابرے The perfect ones keep moving forward in eagerness for the Beloved, Though they carry a hundred burdens, they travel so light. امکل آدم ہک اب رفزدن و زن خ ی� � ا دشن و � �یکس زن و رفزدن ازہمہ The marvel is that despite having children and wives, They are independent of all their children and wives. در اہجن و ابز �ب�ی�رون از اہجن ِ اکالمن اشنن آدم خ ی� م� ہ � سب To be in the world and yet remain aloof from it, This alone is the sign of the perfect ones.
