Islamic Urdu Poem #5:

by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad

In the Love of the Holy Quran and Allah

Edited and Translated by Sheikh Muhammad Tufail

Listen, O my dear ones!
Without the Quran a man can never find God.

Those who are not conscious of this light (of the Quran),
Cannot have their Beloved set His eyes on them.

A marvellous quality of the Quran is that,
It makes one a lover of the Beloved (God).

It fills the heart at all times with light,
And cleanses the breast of all impurities.

How can I describe the qualities of the Quran?
Indeed it imparts a new life to life.

It shines like the great sun.
How can one deny its radiance?

All its revelation is like the sea of wisdom.
It constantly offers the chalice of Divine love (to the seeker).

The Quran has brought us right at the threshold of the Sweetheart.
We found our Beloved when we found the Quran.
