Although the ill-wishers tried everything in their power and employed every trick and machination and deceit, they ended up frustrated like a caged bird. When physical hostility could do no harm to these holy men, what harm can vituperation do to them? The Prophets were the exalted people whose high standing has been well-estab- lished in their own times. Their honour could not be stopped either by the opposition of the idolaters or by the barriers laid in their way by nature-worshippers. Sharpness of the swords could never dull their grandeur, nor could the piercing arrows do it any harm. Their grandeur was so dazzling that its jealousy drained the blood of many a heart, an arrow that was launched to pierce many a liver to death, the divine millstone that crushed whomsoever it landed on, and whoever fell upon it was himself shattered to bits. خدا کے پاک لوگوں کو خدا سے نصرت آتی ہے جب آتی ہے تو پھر عالم کو اک عالم دکھاتی ہے To the holy men of God, succour comes from God Himself, And when it comes, it shows mankind a world new and miraculous. وہ بنتی ہے ہوا اور ہر خس رہ کو اڑاتی ہے وہ ہو جاتی ہے آگ اور ہر مخالف کو جلاتی ہے At times it becomes wind, blowing away every obstacle in their path; At times it becomes fire, reducing their opponents to ashes. کبھی وہ خاک ہو کر دشمنوں کے سر پہ پڑتی ہے کبھی ہو کر وہ پانی ان پہ اک طوفان لاتی ہے At times it becomes dust, and falls upon the enemy; At times it becomes water, and brings a deluge upon them.
