Lecture Sialkot — Page 69
LECTURE SIALKOT Every night, I suffer a thousand agonies for the sake of my people. O my Lord! deliver them from this time of turmoil. Every path that they choose-apart from my path-leads to nowhere; Unlucky is the person to whom a worthless thing appears valuable. Next to God, I am inebriated with the love of Muhammada; If this be disbelief, then by God I am a great disbeliever. My dear! my soul has melted and suffered out of concern for your faith; But, strangely enough, I am a disbeliever in your eyes. O my Lord! wash away this lethargy of theirs with the water of my eyes; For this day my bedding is soaked in this grief. 69 May my life be sacrificed in the path of the faith of Muhammadsa; This indeed is my heart's desire, if only I am fortunate enough to realize it.
