The Descent of the Messiah — Page 105
HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS پاک گشته از لوث هستی خویش رسته از بند خود پرستی خویش He became purified from the impurities of the self and freed from the prison of ego-worship. آنچنان یار در کمند انداخت که نداند به دیگری پرداخت The friend caused him to be so smitten that he no longer had anything to do with anyone else. قدم خود زده به راه عدم گم به یادش از فرق تا به قدم Setting foot on the path to non-existence; lost in its memory from head to toe. ذکر دلبر غذای او گشته همه دلبر برای او گشته The mention of the beloved became his food-in fact, the entire- ty of his being. سوخته هر غرض به جز دلدار دوخته چشم دل ز غیر نگار He burned all his desires except for his beloved and closed his eyes to everything else. دل و جان بر رخی فدا کرده وصل او اصل مدعا کرده He sacrificed his heart and soul for him and made union with him his ultimate purpose. مرده و خویشتن فنا کرده عشق جو رشید و کارها کرده He died and dissolved into Him; love took over and accom- plished all tasks. 105
