The Descent of the Messiah — Page 107
HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS عشق کور و نماید از دیدار نیز که که بخیزد از گفتار Love is blind but sees through the sight of the Beloved; some- times it also arises from words. بالخصوص آن سخن که از دلدار خاصیت دارد اندر این اسرار Especially those words that are from the Beloved; it holds a spe- cial excellence within these mysteries. کشته ی او نه یک نه دو نه هزار این قتیلان او برون از شمار His lover is slain not once, not twice, not even a thousand times; these slain ones of His are beyond count. هر زمانی قتیل تازه بخواست غازه ی روی اودم شهدا است Whenever he desires someone new to die for his love, the blush on his face prepares martyrs to lay down their lives. این سعادت چو بود قسمت ما رفته رفته رسید نوبت ما Because this fortune was destined for us, our turn has at long last arrived. کربلایی است سیر هر آنم صد حسین است در گریبانم Every moment I wander about in Karbala; a hundred Husayns are in my embrace. آدمم نیز، احمد مختار در برم جامه ی همه ابرار I am Adam and also Ahmad, the chosen one; my body is adorned with the vestments of all the righteous ones. 107
