160 HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD وَكَايِنْ مِّنَ الآيَاتِ قَدْ مَرَّ ذِكْرُهَا رَأَيْتُمْ فَأَعْرَضْتُمْ وَقُلْتُمْ تُزَوِّرُ Many a Sign there is that I have mentioned; You witnessed these Signs yet you denied them and accused me of falsehood. فَعَنَّ لَنَا بَعْدَ التَّجَارِبِ حِيْلَةٌ لِنَكْتُبَ أَشْعَارًا بِهَا الْآيَ تَشْعُرُ Hence, after so many experiences, I eventually found, A reason to write these few verses which may apprise you of the Signs. وَهُذَا هُوَ الْإِفْحَامُ مِنِّي فَفَكِّرُوا فَهَذَا هُوَ التَّبْكِيْتُ مِنْ فَاطِرِ السَّمَا God, therefore, intends to seal your mouth through this; And, for my part, I wish to clinch my argument against you in this manner. أَثَارَتْ سَنَابِكَ طِرْفِنَا نَقْعَ فَوْجِكُمْ فَهَلْ مِنْ كَمِيٌّ لِّلْوَغَى يَتَبَخْتَرُ The hoofs of my horses destroyed you; Is there among you a cavalry-man who would come out to confront me? وَقَدْ جِئْتَ مُدًّا سَاعِيًا لِّتُحَقِّرُ أَتُثْبِتُ عَظَمَةُ آيَتِي بِتَقَاعُسٍ Or will you now retreat and thus prove my Sign to be a cate- gorical one? You had rushed to Mudh, so as to ridicule me. 1. The word كأين ]ka'yin] has been used the way كأن ]kaayyin-i. e. many] is used in the Arabic lexicon Lisānul-Arab. (Author)
