The Holy Qur'an Have enveloped your hearts! You are indeed guilty of an error; Desist! if you have any fear of God. I bear no ill will to you, brothers, This is only a humble advice; My heart and life are an offering For anyone who has a pure heart. 487 [Brāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya, Rūķānī Khazā'in Vol. 1, pp. 198-204] To: Light of the Furqan (Urdu Poem) The light of the Furqan 298 Is the brightest of all lights; Holy is He from Whom This river of spiritual light issued forth. The tree of faith in divine unity Was about to wither away; All of a sudden, this pure spring Gushed forth from the unseen. O Allah! Your Furqan is a universe in itself; It contains everything that was ever needed. We searched the whole world, We rummaged through all the shops; But we found only this one goblet Containing the true knowledge of the Divine. The similitude of this light cannot be found In the whole wide world; For it is unique in every thing, And matchless in every quality. At first we thought that the Furqan Is like the rod of Moses; 298 Furqan means: 'The one which makes distinction between truth and falsity'. It is another name for the Holy Qur'ān. [Translator]
