20 BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA گر شریکش بدی از خلق دگر گشتی این جمله خلق زیر و زبر If He had any partner in His creation, The entire creation would be in chaos. ذات بیچون او ازاں پاک ست هر چه از وصف خاکی و خاک ست The Peerless One is free from all That is made of dust and is dust. بند بر پائے ہر وجود نہاد خود زهر قید و بند هست آزاد He has set constraints on all things, But is Himself free from all bounds. در دو صد حرص و آز و سر بکمند آدمی بنده هست و نفسش بند Man is a slave bound in fetters, Trapped by countless desires and greed. بچنیں بندہ آفتاب و قمر بند در سیرگاه خویش و مقر So are the sun and the moon constrained To move in their own orbits. ماه را نیست طاقت این کار که بتابد بروز چون احرار The moon has no power to act freely, And to shine during the day. نیز خورشید را نه یارائے که نهد بر سریر شب پائے Nor has the sun any power To step onto the throne of the night.
