The shining sun does not have this light and brightness; And such charm and grace the moon has never possessed.
Joseph was cast into the pit alone; Whereas this Joseph299 has pulled many a people out of the pits.
From the Orient of Knowledge, it has brought forth hundreds of verities;
The profile of the young and tender crescent is arched because of its great delicacy.
Do you know how excellent is the quality of knowledge it contains?
It is heavenly honey dripping from the revealed word of God.
When this sun of truthfulness appeared in the world; Every owl that worshipped darkness, retreated into its hideout.
No one can experience certainty in this world; Except the one who takes refuge in its countenance.
He who is blessed with its knowledge, becomes a treasure of knowledge;
He who is not aware of it, is like the one who knows nothing of the world.
The rain of the grace of the Gracious Lord comes to welcome such a one;
Unlucky is he who forsakes it and runs after others.
Inclination towards sin is nothing but a satanic taint; Only him I consider human, who gets rid of all
mischief.
O mine of beauty, I know of your origin; You are the light of the God Who created the universe.
I have nothing to do with any one else, you alone are my beloved;
We have received your light from Him Who listens to entreaties.
[Brahin-e-Ahmadiyya, Ruhani Khaza’in Vol.1, pp. 304-305]
Joseph is renowned for his beauty. The purport of this couplet is that the Holy Qur’an—this our Joseph—is not only a great beauty in itself, but it also is a saviour, whereas the man Joseph, despite his beauty, could not save himself from being thrown into a pit.
