152 BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA بینی پیش جان ما سوختی بکوری خویش پرده بردار تا به Lift your veils and see what is right before you; Your blindness does indeed cause me great sadness. ز منعم منان این بود شکر نعمت اے نادان You have turned your back on the Gracious and the Benefactor; O ignorant one, what manner of showing your gratitude is this! تافتی دل نهادن دریں سرا چہ دوں عاقبت می کند ز دیں بیروں Infatuation with this wretched worldly abode, Will ultimately deprive you of your faith. ترک کوئے حق از وفا دورست دل بغیرے مدہ کہ غیورست To leave the threshold of God is a great infidelity; Do not give your heart to another for God is Jealous [of His Oneness]. دانی و باز سرکشی از دی ایں چہ برخود ستم کنی ہے ہے You wilfully transgress against God; Alas! What calamity you bring upon yourself. ہرچہ غیرے خدا بخاطر تست آں بت تست اے بایاں سست O weak of faith! Whatever resides in your heart, Other than God, is an idol. پر حذر باش زیں بتان نہاں دامن دل ز دست شاں برہاں Beware of such hidden idols, And free yourself from their clutches.
