The author of this book [Hazrat Sultan Bahu
 Rahmatu-Allahe
Ta-aala Alaihe ]; a recluse in
the Sanctuary (Court) of the Jalaal
and Jamaal
of the Haa Huwiyyat
of Allah
Almighty; Drowned
in the Mushahida
(Vision) of the Absolute
Essence
(Zaat );
honored by the eye of the Favor of the Visibly Witnessed Rightful Deity
of Worship; swinging in the cradle of the Divine Pride of "(I am Pure and) My
Splendor is Great" ; wearing the crown of Marifat
and
the Absolute
Wahdat at the Top of the Station
of Respect; rolling the mantle of
Refinement (Tazkiya ) and Purity (Tasfiya ) under arm at the Station
of "You are
I, and I am You" ; and addressed with the title of
Haq
by Haq ; the Sirr
of the Eye of Yaa Hu ; that is, Faqeer
Bahu
 -
May
his Secret
be sanctified , surname A'waan, resident of Qala' Shor
[Kot] May Allah
keep this place safe from all dissensions and oppressions,
states a few words in the researches (and realizations) of Faqar
as exposition
of the Station
of the Essence
of the Huwiyyat
and gives the teachings of the deepest
meanings in its apparent meanings and the most extraordinary interpretation of
the Verse: "My Mercy embraces everything" (7:156) . The Arif
e
Waasil
, at whatsoever direction, raises his gaze to gaze
upon,
nothing besides the Didaar
[of that Essence
of Haq] is seen by him. (He) erases
all impressions of the Outsiders and of the egotism from his body so
much so that (he) unifies with the Absolute
Essence
.
Be
enlightened! When the Noor
of Ahad
(the
One and Only), [after emanating out] of the bridal chamber of the Privacy
of Wahdat
, willed to expose in the Realm of Multiplicity, it casted a commotion with
the manifestation of its Pure Light. (All) Worlds rushed to its Candle of
Beauty and burnt like moths, [became Aashiq
], then [the Noor of the
Essence], after putting on the veil of the Meem  of Ahmad transformed into
the appearance of Ahmad and with abundance of the raptures and attachments
shook seven times upon itself as a result of which came into being, on the tree
of the Miraat-ul-Yaqeen
 , the Seven Arwah
(Spirits) of
Faqeers
, all serene (and clear), Fanaa-Fi-Allah
(Destroyed in Allah ), Baqaa-Bi-Allah
(Reborn with Allah ), completely lost in the Thought of
His Essence, all in the likeness of kernel without crust, Drowned
into the
Ocean of the Jamaal
, Seventy Thousand Years earlier the creation of Adam Alaihis-Salaam .
They, since the Azal
to Abad , neither saw anything else except the
Essence
of Haq, nor did they listen anything besides Allah [that is, they never
heard any voice except the Word of 'Alast' of Allah on the Day of Azal
].
They have the everlasting infinite Wisaal in the Ocean of the Sanctum of
the Majesty. They, at times, wearing Noori
Bulks , have strived in
veneration and transcendence, [and] "at times, drop in the ocean and at times,
the ocean in the drop" [is their similitude] and the robe of the Beneficence
of
Conferment, that is, "When Faqar
reaches unto its extremity (and entirety), that
is Allah," is over them. Thus, the crown of
the Eternal Existence and infinite Honor is possessed by them. Faqeer
is not
left with any need either of his Sustainer or of His outsiders . [By
virtue of being Fanaa-Fi-Allah
(Destroyed in Allah) and Baqaa-Bi-Allah
(Reborn with
Allah), they
are not Outsiders for their Lord,
and hence they are not the needy].
