Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya Parts I & II — Page 144
BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA چشم بندد زغیر و داد دید در سر یار سر بیاد دید He abides by justice-closing his eyes to everyone, And does not care if, for the Friend, he lives or dies. هست تا هست مرد نابینا ایں ہمہ جوش حرص و آز و ہوا The torrent of greed, avarice and temptation, Lasts so long as one is blind; چشم دل اند کے چو گردد باز سرد گردد بر آدمی همه آز But when the inner eye is opened, even a little, One becomes totally disinclined towards greed. اے رسن ہائے آز کردہ دراز زیں ہوس ہا چرا نیائی باز O You, who give long rein to your greed, Why do you not curb your ego. دولت عمر دمبدم بزوال تو پریشان بفکر دولت و مال The wealth of life decreases every moment, But all you think of is wealth and property. خویش و قوم و قبیله پر از دعا تو بریدہ برائے شاں ز خدا Your ties of kith and kin are full of deception, Have you cut your ties with God for their sake! ای همه را بکشت آهنگ که بصلحت کشند و گاه به جنگ All of them are bent upon taking your life, At times they kill you peacefully; and at times through combat. خاک بر رشته که پیوندت بگسلاند ز یار دل بندت Cursed are the relations that cut you off, From the True Friend. 144
