Listen dear
people! Without the Quran,
Man never reaches God.
Whoever is
unaware of this light,
Is not fit
for the eyes of the Friend.
The Furqan [the Holy
Quran] has a wonderful effect,
In that it
makes one a lover of the true Beloved.
It gives us
authentic tidings of the One,
Whose name is
the Greatest, the Almighty.
It draws man
towards the abode of the Beloved,
And then it
shows him signs beyond his ken.
It fills the
heart with light divine,
And cleanses
the breast thoroughly.
What more of
its excellences should I describe,
Suffice it to say that it gives a new life to life.
