By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
In my Burushaski Diwan I have said: "When I saw my beloved the very first time, I experienced a miraculous earthquake".35
I was blessed with the great Qur'anic bliss of the pure and luminous didar of Hazrat Mawlana Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah (a.s) in the city of Poona in 1946, in which the sign of earthquake certainly alluded in ta'wil that it was now the cycle of resurrection and therefore he [i.e., the Imam] was going to make me undergo a spiritual resurrection. This ta'wil was later unveiled and this secret was also known in the period of qa'im-shinasi that the light of Qa'im (a.s) was revealed in its time in the night of power (shab-i qadr), i.e., blessed night (shab-i mubarak). Thus the blessed era of the Diamond Jubilee [of Mawlana Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah (a.s)] was unique and unprecedented in Ismaili history. It was a resurrecting scene of the Ismaili da`wat which all the inhabitants of the heavens and earth saw and heard.
Translation of the verse: "When for the very first time I had the pure physical vision (didar), I simultaneously experienced a miraculous earthquake".
