HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS يُؤْذُونَنِي قَوْمٌ أَضَاعُوا دِينَهُمُ نَجْسُ الْمَقَاصِدِ مُظْلِمُ الْأَرَاءِ They hurt me; they are a people who wasted their faith: With foul objectives and impure ideas. خَشُوا وَلَا يَخْشَى الرِّجَالُ شَجَاعَةً فِي نَائِبَاتِ الدَّهْرِ وَالْهَيْجَاءِ They attempted to frighten me, but the Men of God, due to their courage, do not become frightened In face of the hardships and conflict of the age. زَمَعُ الْأَنَاسِ يُحَمُلِقُونَ كَتَعْلَبٍ يُؤْذُونَنِي بِتَحَوُّبٍ وَمُوَاءِ The malicious among the people stare at me like a fox; They cause me distress by uttering meows and vulpine howls. حَسَدُوا فَسَبُّوا حَاسِدِينَ وَلَمْ يَزَلُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ يَحْسُدُهُ ذَوُو الْأَهْوَاءِ They are jealous and use abusive language like the jealous and it has always been; That the people with carnal desires are jealous towards one who is blessed. صَالُوا بِإِبْدَاءِ النَّوَاجِذِ كَالْعِدَا لِمَقَالَةِ ابْنِ بَطَالَةَ وَوَشَّاءِ Like enemies they bare their fangs and lunge in attack- Uttering 'son of falsehood and the tale-bearing slanderer'. 51
