To: Light of the Furqan (Urdu Poem)

The light of the Furqan
Is the brightest of all lights;
Holy is He from Whom
This river of spiritual light issued forth.

The tree of faith in divine unity
Was about to wither away;
All of a sudden, this pure spring
Gushed forth from the unseen.

O Allah! Your Furqan is a universe in itself;
It contains everything that was ever needed.
 
We searched the whole world,
We rummaged through all the shops;
But we found only this one goblet
Containing the true knowledge of the Divine.

The similitude of this light cannot be found
In the whole wide world;
For it is unique in every thing,
And matchless in every quality.

At first we thought that the Furqan
Is like the rod of Moses;
 Then when we reflected further,
And found every word to be a Messiah.
 
Blind as they are,
It is their own fault;
Otherwise this light has shone
As brightly as a hundred suns.
 
How pathetic is the life
Of the people in this world,
Whose hearts remained blind
Even in the presence of this Light.

[Brahin-e-Ahmadiyya, Ruhani Khaza’in Vol.1, pp. 305-306]

Furqan means: ‘The one which makes distinction between truth and falsity’. It is another name for the Holy Qur’an
