34 A'INA-E-KAMALAT-E-ISLAM-DAFI UL-WASĀWIS صلى الله اليوم این خبر شد جان احمد را که بود از عشق زار هیچکس از خبث شرک ور جس بت آگه نه شد Unknown to all was the evil of shirk [polytheism] and the filth of the idol; may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him Only the soul of Ahmad was cognizant of it, for his heart was lost in the love of God. کان شفیع کرداز بهر جهان در گنج غار کس چه می داند کرازان ناله با باشد خبر Who knows and who is aware of the cries and pleas That the Holy Prophet made for the world in the Cave of Hira? کا ندران غاری در آوردش حزین و دلفگار من نمیدانم چه دردی بود و اندوه و غمے I cannot fathom the pain, the agony, and the distress, Which drove him to the cave-so troubled and overcome with grief. نے زمردن غم نہ خوف کردمے ئے بیم مار نے ز تاریکی توحش نے زِ تنہائی ہراس He feared neither darkness nor loneliness; He did not fear death, nor was he intimidated by scorpions or snakes. و فدائے خلق و قربان جہان کے بجسم خویش میلش نے بہ نفس خویش کار کشتہ قوم Loving his people deeply, devoted to mankind and a sacrifice for the world, He cared little for his bodily comfort and personal needs. نعره ها پُر درد میزد از پیئے خلق خدا شد تفرع کار او پیش خدا کیل و نهار He raised cries of pain for the good of humanity; Engaged in supplication to God day and night. قدسیاں را نیز شد چشم از غم آں اشکبار سخت شورے بر فلک افتاد زان عجز و دعا His humility and prayers stirred a tumultuous uproar across the heavens― Even the angels being moved to tears on account of his pain.
