Message of a Ruhani through Zaban-i Hal, from Gazalah Marhumah (Poem)

Tags:

Ay Qiblah! Nah kar gam kih yahan zindah huwi main Yeh us ki nawazish hai kih tabindah huwi main

1. O revered [father]! Don't grieve, for here I have become alive; It is His kindness that I have become radiant

Hain hur-u pari sath kih main khwud bhi pari hun Is anjuman-i nur men khwushiyon se bhari hun

2. Houris and pari are with me, I too am a pari myself; In this assembly of light, I am full of joy

Main dukhtar-i ruhani-yi Mawla-yi zaman hun Shah-zadi-yi calam hun magar sab se nihan hun

3. I am the spiritual daughter of the Imam of the time; Princess of the world I am, but hidden from all

Ham nur ki awlad abhi nur huwe hain Dunya ki musibat se bahot dur huwe hain

4. We, the children of light, have now become light; Very far from the troubles of the world are we now

Jannat men cajab shahi mahal ham ko mila hai Ham zindah-yi jawed huwe fazl-i Khuda hai

5. We have a magnificent royal palace in paradise; By God's grace, we have become eternally alive

Shahon ki tarah shad hain ham us ka karam hai Bimari nahin, mawt nahin, awr nah hi gam hai

6. By His grace, we are as happy as kings; We have no sickness, no death, and no sorrow

Han teri Gazalah peh cAli sayah-figan hai Woh is liye jannat men sada zindah chaman hai

7. Indeed, cAli is the protector of your Gazalah; That is why she is an ever-living orchard in paradise

Sad-gunah khwushi hai hamen didar-i cAli se Ganjinah mila hai hamen asrar-i cAli se

8. We are overjoyed because of the vision of cAli; We have received a treasure from the secrets of cAli

Tufani khwushi hai hamen, tum ham peh nah rona Daddy! Mummy! Tum kabhi be-sabr nah hona

9. Overflowing with joy we are, so don't mourn us; O Daddy and Mummy! Never be impatient!

Lena hai tumhen cilm-u cibadat ka sahara Hai din-i Khuda'i men yehi shewah hamara

10. You have to draw support from knowledge and worship; This is our tradition in the Divine religion

Kis shan se aya hai yeh paygam-i Gazalah Rawshan ho zamane men sada nam-i Gazalah

11. With what glory has this message of Gazalah come; May the name of Gazalah shine ever bright in the world!
