41 AN ODE BY MAULAWI ABDULLAH OF KASHMIR از پئے تکمیل کمیل اخلاق بشر نکته شنو بر مظاہر کن نظر یاد آر ذات کردگار For the perfection of human morals, keep this insight in mind; Look at the manifestations of nature and remember that Holy Being. شکر یزدانست شکر مظهر الطاف او از سر ایمان من لم يشكر الناس یاد آر Being grateful to the manifestations of His bounties is being grateful to God Himself, And do faithfully bear in mind 'one who does not thank people, [does not truly thank Allah]. گفت حق اے مومناں باوالدین احساں کنید زیں حقیقت راز احساں بر جہاں شد آشکار The true God says: 'Believers! Show kindness to your parents. Thus, the secret of His kindness has been revealed to the world. رہنمائے دین و توحید خدائے لم یزل از پئے ارواح ماشد مظهر پروردگار The Guide to Faith and to the Oneness of the Eternal God-[the Holy Prophetsa] He became the manifestation of our Lord, the Sustainer for the sake of our souls. این زمان آن آفتاب از مطلع ہندوستاں سر بر آورده بعالم چوں خور نصف النہار The present age has witnessed that Sun rising from the horizon of India, And shining all over the world like the meridian sun. من چه دانم وصف حسن روئے آں عالی تبار چوں ز من آید فنائے آں شہ عالی جناب I cannot adequately praise that sublime monarch! How could I grasp the qualities of his handsome face?
