148 Barahin-e-ahmadiyya
He finds his threshold as more blissful than an
orchard,
And his face more comely than the basil flower.
He is well pleased with howsoever the beloved
treats him;
To look upon his beloved is better than to live a
hundred lives.
To be in the presence of his beloved, even if bound in
chains,
Is more precious to him than strolling in a delightful
garden without him.
He who has a beloved,
Finds no peace without him.
In his absence he tosses and turns all night,
While the world is lost in sleep, he remains awake.
He finds not a moment’s rest without seeing him;
Every moment, he is carried away by the torrent of
love.
How indeed should a lover find peace,
And how could he ever think of separation from the
beloved!
