PROCEEDINGS OF THE PRAYER MEETING 40 خورد و پوش دل پسند و میو ہائی خوشگوار آفتاب و ماہ پرویں ایں زمین و آسماں The sun, the moon, the stars, this earth and heaven, Exquisite food, clothes and delectable fruit, ہیں ہوائے خوش کہ ہر دم می وزد از لطف او ایں ہمہ گلزار ولالہ آب ہائے آبشار This pleasant breeze-blowing each instant by His grace- These gardens, flowers, and spring waters; بے عنایاتش زمانه میشود تاریک و تار ایں ہمہ از رحمت و از لطف ذات کبریا All this is due to the grace and mercy of that Supreme Being, Without whose bounties, the world would descend into darkness. در حقیقت ہر ثنائے ذات حق را میسرد آنکہ خو بیہائے لطفش ہست بحر بے کنار The True Lord deserves every kind of praise, Whose grace and bounties are a shoreless ocean. از سر فضل و عنایت حکمت و شان بلند در مظاهر جلوه گر شد رحمتش بر روزگار On account of His grace, bounty, wisdom, and grandeur, His mercy is apparent in the world by means of His manifestations. از ربوبیت رخ خود وانمود از مظہری تا که گردد بهر جسم و جان ما او فیض بار Owing to His Providence, He displays His face through His manifestations, So that our bodies and souls may be blessed with His grace. ایں وجود والدیں ظلے ز رب الناس ہم زیں سبب فرزند را مادر گرفته در کنار The existence of parents is also a shadow of the Lord of Mankind, Being the reason why a mother [gently] holds her child by her side.
