Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya Parts I & II — Page 102
جوانی ہمہ BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA اندریس باختم دل از غیر این کار پرداختم I spent my entire youth in the same endeavour, And freed myself from all other cares. بماندم دریں غم زمان دراز نخفتم ز فکرش شبان دراز I spent a long time in this pain and anguish, And I could not sleep for many a long night. نگه کردم از روئے صدق و سداد ترس خدا و بعدل و بداد به I pondered over it in all fairness, And in keeping with fear of God, justice and equity. چو اسلام دینے قوی و متیں ندیدم که بر منبعش آفریں I found no faith other than Islam that is rested on a solid foundation, And for this Faith I became full of fascination. چنان دارد ایں دیں صفا بیش بیش کہ حاسد به بیند درو روئے خویش So clear and pure is this religion, That for sure the envier can see his face in it. نماید ازاں گونه راه صفا که گردد بصدقش خرد رهنما Its path to purity is so clear, so straight, That reason bears testimony to its truthfulness. ہمہ حکمت آموزد و عقل و داد رہاند ز هر نوع جهل و فساد It inculcates only wisdom, reason and justice, And saves from all types of ignorance and corruption. ندارد دگر مثل خود ور بلاد خلافش طریقے که مثلش مباد There is no other faith like it in the world; May all that is against it fade into oblivion. 102
