Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya-Parts1-2

Part One
Being cognizant of his charm, I readily give him
my life,
While others only offer him their hearts.
The thought of his countenance sends me into transports
of ecstasy;
A drink from his goblet keeps me forever intoxicated.
If only I had wings and pinions,
I would keep flying towards his court.
Of what use are tulips and sweet basil to me,
For I am in love with that countenance and
that being.
His beauty pulls at the strings of my heart,
And attracts me like a powerful magnet.
I have seen that he is the light of the eyes,
And his love is as warming as the rays of the sun.
