HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS إِنَّى رَأَيْتُ الْوَجْهَ وَجْهَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَجُهُ كَبَدْرِ اللَّيْلَةِ الْبَلْمَاءِ I have seen the countenance that is the countenance of Muhammadas; A countenance that is like the full-moon. شَمْسُ الْهُدَى طَلَعَتْ لَنَا مِنْ مَكَّةَ عَيْنُ النَّدَانَبَعَتْ لَنَا بِحِرَاءِ The sun of guidance arose for us from Makkah; The spring of benefactions gushed out for us from Hira. ضَاهَتْ أَيَاةُ الشَّمْسِ بَعْضَ ضِيَائِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُ فَهَاجَ مِنْهُ بُكَائِي The rays of the Sun resemble an aspect of his luminescence; When I saw this sun, it caused a tumult in my wailing. أَعْلَى الْمُهَيْمِنُ هِمَمَنَا فِي دِينِهِ نَبْنِي مَنَازِلَنَا عَلَى الْجَوْزَاءِ God the Protector elevated our resolve regarding His Religion; Thus, we build our houses, high up on Gemini. نَسْعَى كَفِتُيَانٍ بِدِيْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ لَسْنَا كَرَجُلٍ فَاقِدِ الْأَعْضَاءِ We exert ourselves like youth, for the religion of Muhammadas; We are not like a man whose limbs are amputated. 55
