The Descent of the Messiah — Page 97
HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS تا نشد مشعلی از غیب پدید از شب تار جهل کس نرهید Until the torch appeared from the unseen, no one was freed from the dark night of ignorance. کس ندانست کوی آن دلدار تا نه خود را نمود خود دادار Until God undertook to reveal Himself, none knew the path to the Beloved's abode. تا نه خود از سخن یقین بخشید کس از زندان ریب و شک نرهید Until He bestowed certainty through His word, no one was free from the prison of doubt and conjecture. بی یقین سست باشدش بنیاد هر چه باشد از زهد و صدق و سداد Piety, faithfulness, and truth are built on shaky ground without the bedrock of certainty. گر یقین نیست بر خدای یگان از محالات قوت ایمان Without certainty in the existence of the One God, it is impossi- ble to experience the power of faith. بی یقین هیچ دل نیاسوده ست بی یقین دین و کیش بیهوده است Religion and faith are meaningless without certainty; no heart can find true peace without it. بی یقین و تجلیات یقین کس نرسته ز دام دیو لعین Without certainty and without the light of certainty, no one can be freed from the trap of the accursed Satan. 97
