I am a humble servant honoured by the Gracious Lord; Opposition to me is poison whereas peace with me is a haven of safety.
I am the garden of guidance; I am truthful and a reformer and redeemer.
One who flees from me, flees from the Lord of all the creation; For I am the straight path—the path to safety.
My soul is like a dove, a symbol of divine glorification; Or it is a sweet-singing melodious nightingale.
I have not come to you untimely, nor is my coming idle or meaningless; I came at a time when it was akin to a pitch-black night.
O people! Abandon your greed and avarice— Be penitent, for Allah is the Lord, Most Compassionate.
God is so Benevolent, He forgives the God-fearing; How lucky is the one who repents after committing a sin!
O people! Be mindful of your death; When death strikes, it does not relent, but seizes suddenly.
O ye who are so fond of maligning me. [Beware!] All virtue lies in truthfulness. Therefore, embrace the truth and you will be secure.
Any attempt to humiliate me is vain; For He does not permit anyone close to Him to suffer humiliation.
My Signs have come to you, but you have rejected them; And you have witnessed the arguments in my favour yet you behave arrogantly.
Have you received intimation of your acquittal from the Lord of all creation; Or have you somehow perceived that your life will never end?
If you are intent on waging war, I will pounce upon you like a lion hunting its prey.
I am not afraid to fight my enemies or to face their bows and arrows; My heart does not shy away from entering the field of battle.
Look at ‘Abdul-Hakim and his misguidance; He does not speak but howls like a wolf.
Arrogance fuels the flames of his ego; This arrogance was given birth by his [temporal] wealth.
Pride in affluence equates to ignorance; Akin to a cloud which cannot retain the little water it has.
The efforts of our opponents are futile against us; Ours is the sword [of the Gracious God] that will never face any detriment.
The light of God shines on my countenance; If only one of you had the eyes for it!
O ‘Abdul-Hakim! The words you have spoken in my opposition Are like a stone hurled against a sharp sword.
By God, the friend of God will never be disgraced; By God, you will never succeed and you shall be rejected.
This is a strong and incontrovertible tiding from God. Listen! The time of its fulfilment is close at hand.
By God! All threads of deception will be cut asunder; Regardless of whether the deception is mild or strong.
You may call me a kafir for there is nothing new in this denunciation; It is an age-old tradition still being practiced.
The Companions[ra] of our Prophet[sa] were also declared disbelievers; It was said they were accursed apostates, but their greatness remains what it is.
Seek repentance for your slanders, and hasten to me with repentance; O ye who doubt! I am ever ready to forgive.
If you wish to fight, I am ready to fight; Come out in the fray—my tent is pitched in the field of battle.
My words cut like a sword and spell death for our enemies; My words are sharp like a pointed spear or a grinding jaw-bone.
Many are the hearts whose veils I have torn off; Many are the bosoms that I have wounded, and do now.
I have fought everyone who denied my truth; In the end you have been involved in the battle and will soon know.
In you, there is a Sign for me from my Lord— You may not know it but we know it.
You called me a dajjal and imputed lies to me; You tell lies and engage in battle over nothing.
Only God’s will shall be done, O slave of your ego! The day will come when He shall openly expose what you are trying to conceal.
Truth is the upstanding armour which shall protect me. Beware! I am a riding warrior in hot pursuit.
