THE MIRACLE OF AHMAD خَفِ اللَّهَ يَا صَيْدَ الرَّدَى كَيْفَ تَجْسُرُ نَطَقتَ بِكِذْبٍ أَيُّهَا الْغُوْلُ شَقْوَةً O evil-minded man! You have lied on account of your wickedness; O one who is awaited by death! Fear Allah. Why are you so audacious? أَتَقْصِدُ عِرْضِي بِالْأَكَاذِيْبِ وَالْجَفَا وَأَنْتَ مِنَ الدَّيَانِ لَا تَتَسَتَّرُ Do you seek to undermine my honour by misstating facts about me? Verily, you are not hidden from the Chastiser. وَإِنْ تَضْرِبَنَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاتِ زُجَاجَةً فَلَا الصَّخْرُ بَلْ إِنَّ الزُّجَاجَةَ تُكْسَرُ If you hit the glass with a rock, It will not be the rock, but rather the glass that will shatter. تَعَالَى مَقَامِيْ فَاخْتَفَى مِنْ عُيُونِكُمْ وَكُلُّ رَفِيعٍ لَا مَحَالَةَ يُسْتَرُ High was my station, so I became hidden from your eyes; All who are distant and highly-stationed do become hidden. وَفِي حِزْبِكُمْ إِنَّا نَرَى بَعْضَ آيِنَا فَإِنَّا دَعَوْنَا حِزْبَكُمْ فَتَأَخَّرُوْا It was due to some people in your group that I witnessed some of the Signs; The reason was that I invited those people in your group [to a contest], and they turned away. 145
