HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS کای خدای علیم راز نهان کی بعلمت رسد دل انسان “O, all-knowing God! Knower of the unseen! How can human thought ever comprehend Your knowledge? چوں ملائک ندیده اند آن نور کان در آدم تو داشتی مستور Even the angels cannot see the light that You concealed within Adam. ما چه چیزیم و علم ماست چه چیز بی تو در صد خطر قیاس و تمیز What, then, are we, and what is our knowledge worth without you? Without you, reason and intellect can lead us astray. ما خطاکار و کار ما است خطا شد تبه کار ما ز عجلتها We are sinners, and our deeds are misguided. Our efforts have come to nought due to our haste. گر ز تست این که سوی تو خواند وز تو بهتر کدام کس داند If this person who calls us to You is truly from You, who knows it better than You? گنه ما ببخش و چشم بگشا تا نمیریم از خلاف و ابا Then, please forgive our sins and open our eyes so we may not persist in denial and opposition. ورنه این ابتلا ز ما بردار که رحیمی و قادر و غفار Otherwise, deliver us from this trial, for you are Merciful, Om- nipotent, and Most Forgiving.
