In
appearance, he seems to need being served;
Innerly, though, he pays himmat to those who deserved.
It
will sure be misleading to judge by appearance;
Receiving the himmat requires seeing the essence.
Haqq
ta’âlâ has His beloved ones concealed;
Their inner with appearance He covered.
Their
appearance is the Sharî’at’s mirror;
Haqq’s Attentions will be reflected in their inner.
The
lover will get from afflictions such pleasure
As will not be in anything, be itself pleasure.
People
unaware will not believe this;
yet,In Qur’ân Haqq ta’âlâ says so by âyat.
If
a person attends a Walî’s luminous sohbat,
His heart will open, nûrs will his inner illuminate.
Desires
of the nafs will no more titilate him;
Secrets of this way will at once open before him.
Adhere
to the Sharî’at, then search for a Murshîd!
Cannot find one? Then love is enough if you are candid!
Those
who have attained these two blessings,
Will receive fayz from the heart of Murshid’s.
Haloes
gushing out from the Messenger’s heart,
Will flow into them due to loving regard.
Abd-ul-hakîm
Arwasî was a Walî;
His words and manners was its testimony.
From
Sayyid Fehîm he took over caliphate;
In his every behaviour was seen kerâmat.
Do
not think that the Murshid is hard to recognize!
His behaviour will always be Sharî’at-wise!
If
a person is without the Sharî’at in deeds and statements,
Quick, run away from him, whatever stories he invents!
Sharî’at
prescribes how deeds are to be done;
Sharî’at and Îmân make up Islam; the rest, none.
Îmân
means to believe, Sharî’at means practices;
Being Muslim requires these two performances.
Believers
have parted into groups, seventy-three;
Ahl as-sunna is the single right group, blame-free!
