اِنَّ تِلْكَ الْقُلُوْبَ اَقْلَقَهَا الْوَجْدُ وَ اَدْمَى تِلْكَ الْعُيُوْنَ بُكَاهَا
Those hearts are fazed by passion and those eyes are bled
كَانَ اَنْكَى الْخُطُوْبِ لَمْ يُنِكِ مِنَّيْ مُقْلَةً لِكِنِ الْهَوْى آَبْكَاهَا
by weeping The most astounding mishaps had never made me weep; but love did! Everyday, misfortunes are repeated on
كُلَّ يَوْمِ لِلْحَادِثَاتِ عَوَادٍ لَيْسَ يَقْوْى رَضْوْى عَلَى مُلْتَقَاهَا
us, even Mount Radwa cannot encounter them! Nothing can
كَيْفَ يُزْجَى الْخَلَاصُ مِنْهُنَّ اِلَّا بِذِمَامِ مِنْ سَيِّدِ الرُّسُلِ طه
rescue from them except a pass from the Chief of Messengers, Taha He is the fortress for all the fearful and he
مَعْقِلُ الْخَائِفِيْنَ مِنْ كُلّ خَوْفٍ اَوْفَرُ الْعُرْبِ ذِمَّةًّ أَوْفَاهَا
is the most faithful and the most hones t Arab. He is the
مَصْدَرُ الْعِلْمِ لَيْسَ اِلَّا لَدَيْهِ خَبَرُ الْكَائِنَاتِ مِنْ مُبْتَدَاهَا
source of the entire knowledge. Since beginning, the news of
قَاضَ لِلْخَلْقِ مِنْهُ عِلْمُ وَ حِلْمُ اَخَذَتْ مِنْهُمَا الْعُقُوْلُ نُهَاهَا
all creatures are with him. Some of his knowledge and indulgence flew from him; so, the intellects took their sanity
نَوَّهَثْ بِاسمِهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ كَمَا نَوَّهَتْ بِصُبْحٍ ذُكَاهَا
from these. The heavens and the earth spoke highly of his name as obviously as the sun declaring morning. Despite the
وَ غَدَثْ تَنْشُرُ الْفَضَائِلَ عَنْهُ كُلَّ قَوْمِ عَلَى اخْتِلَافِ لُغَاهَا
variety of their languages, each people have been circulating virtues from him. As it became jubilant over mentioning his
طَرِبَتِ لَاِسمِهِ الثَّرْى فَاسْتَطَالَتْ فَوْقَ عُلْوِيَّةِ السَّمَا سُفْلَاهَا
name, the lowest earth overtopped the highest sky. From the
جَازَ مِنْ جَوْهَرِ التَقَدُّسِ ذَانَّا تَاهَتِ الْاَنْبِيَآءُ فِي مَعْنَاهَا
Essence of Holiness, he won a self, even the Prophets were perplexed Over its significance. Do not engage your mind with grasping Ahmad's excellences, for they are the figure
لَا تُجِلْ فِيْ صِفَاتِ اَحمَدَ فِكْرًا فَهِيَ الصُّوْرَةُ الَتِيْ لَنْ تَرَاهَا
that you shall never understand. There is no creation of Allah
آَيُّ خَلْقِ للهِ اَعْظَمُ مِنْهُ وَ هُوَ الْغَايَةُ الَّتِي اسْتَقْصَاهَا
greater than he is! He is the utmost purpose that He has
قَلَّبَ الْخَافِقَيْنِ ظَهْرًا لِبَظنِ فَرَاى ذَاتَ آَحمَدٍ فَاجْتَبَاهَا
intended. As He turned the east and the west upside down, Allah singled out the self of Ahmad and thus decided on it. l never forget his sacred situ a tions made by his piety, and so
لَسْتُ آَنْسى لَهُ مَنَازِلَ قُدْسِ قَدْ بَنَاهَا التُّقْى فَاَعْلَى بِنَاهَا
elevated they are! And I never forget these noble men in
وَ رِجَالًا آَعِزَّةً فِيْ بُيُوْتِ آَذِنَ اللهُ اَنْ يُعِزَّ جِمَاهَا
houses that Allah permitted to be paid tribute. They are
سَادَةٌ لَا تُرِيْدُ اِلَّا رِضَى اللهِ كَمَا لَا يُرِيْدُ اِلَّا رِضَاهَا
masters who wanted nothing but Allah's pleasure and Allah wanted not but their pleasure. Out of His perfection, He gave
خَصَّهَا مِنْ كَمَالِهِ بِالْمَعَانِي وَ بِآَعْلَى اسْمَآئِهِ سَمَّاهَا
them exclusive worth and conferred upon them with the most exalted names. They are but unseen treasures of the
لَمْ يَكُوْنُوْا لِلْعَرْشِ اِلَّا كُنُوْزًا خَافِيَاتٍ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ اَبْدَاهَا
Holy Throne. Glory be to Him Who showed them! Their
كَمْ لَهُمْ اَلْسُنُ عَنِ اللهِ تُنْبِي هِيَ اَقْلَامُ حِكْمَةِ قَدْ بَرَاهَا
tongues speak on behalf of Allah. They are the pens of His
وَ هُمُ الْاَغِيْنُ الصِّحِيْحَاثُ تَهْدِيْ كُلَّ عَيْنٍ مَكْفُوْفَةٍ عَيْنَاهَا
wisdom. They are the sound eyes guiding ali blind eyes. They are knowledgeable, leaders, and wise. Even stars were
عُلَمَاءُ أَئِمَةُ حُكَمَاءُ يَهْتَدِي النَّجْمُ بِاتَّبَاعِ هَدَاهَا
guided, would they follow them. Their knowledge is guide
قَادَةٌ عِلْمُهُمْ وَ رَأْيُ حِجَاهُمْ مُسْمَعَا كُلَّ حِكْمَةٍ مَنْظَرَاهَا
and their views are sage, and their forms communicate all
مَا أبَالِي وَ لَوْ أُهِيْلَتْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ السَّمَاوَاتُ بَعْدَ نَيْلٍ وِلَاهَا
wisdoms. After I have won loyalty to them, l do not care if the skies fall on the earth!
