HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS یک کشش کار میکند به درون در دل آید فرو رخ بیچون Its magnetism corrects one's inner self, and the face of the Peerless One becomes embedded in one's heart. زان کشش دل همی شود بیدار متنفر ز غیر و طالب یار This magnetism awakens the heart, and one becomes estranged from all and a seeker only of God. رو ز هر حرص و آز تابنده سوی یار ازل شتابنده He turns away from every desire and hastens towards the Eter- nal Friend. میوه از روضه ی فنا خورده و از خود و آرزوی خود مرده One tastes the fruit of self-annihilation and dies to the ego and سیل عشقش ز جای خود برده its desires. رخت در جای دیگر آورده The flood of God's love carries him away, and he takes abode in a different place altogether. پاک و طیب به چشم بی چونی پیش کوران خبیث و ملعونی He becomes holy in God's eyes, even though he is wretched and cursed in the eyes of the blind. از یقین پر چو شیشه ی عطار لا أبالى ز لعنت اغيار He is brimming with the fragrance of faith like the perfumer's glass, and remains oblivious to the curses of the unworthy. 103
