"I then saw my Mahdi in a new world and became revitalised. I wrote a number of pages without pause and invited Siyyid Muhammad Azali[1] to myself using my own verses. He shared some of these verses with other friends. Everyone admitted that they appear superior to Azal's writings. Jinab-i Sayyah[2] who was an adherent of Dayyan became influenced and interested. Then I started to attract whomever I could to myself. I even wrote to Azal thus:O Vahid:My predicament was such that every time I met Baha'u'llah, I became infatuated and did not realise my own existence. And then when I met persons other than Him, I assumed a position for myself. As a result they conspired against me and wrote letters of complaint to Baghdad. I returned to Baghdad. However, I remained embarassed about my conduct in Karbila which was in clear breach of Baha'ullah's wishes. For this reason I did not attend His presence. I wrote a letter requesting permission to travel to Iran. Baha'u'llah summoned me to His presence and advised: "Travelling to Iran is acceptable provided that your words do not provide an excuse to others once again. Understand that this will be detrimental to you and the Cause of God."
you and Us both decadents from the Lord,
Two mirrors reflecting the one Sun,
I am to discover the inner meanings,
You are to promote the worldly,
Whether Azal does accept or refuse,
I am the creator of a hundred thousand Azals
Later when I met the Abha Beauty, the first sentence He said was: "We observed your writings. I liked the Persian verses because its contents were mystical." He instructed me to return to Karbila and be cordial to Siyyid Muhammad. On my return however as I discovered his poor level of knowledge and those around him, I became convinced that I am an ocean compared to drops.
He who considers himself the Mirror of Bayan,
Who has deviated from the intent of Bayan,
Will issue Fatwa against the life of whomever,
That dares to use this title again,
Or call to be He Whom God Shall Make Manifest,
He will capture, slaughter and murder,
Read his book entitled "Mustiqaz",[3]
It proves my point of view in clear,
Orders recorded in the book of Devil,
To murder several innocent souls,
His honour Dayyan who enjoyed,
Significant respect, vigour and glory,
What praise is written in his regard,
From the Pen of his Primal Beloved,[4]
Even one hundreth of that praise,
Is not directed to that jinxed mirror,[5]
He commanded Dayyan thus,
In His religion Kitab-I Panj Sh'an,
That this young bird has just flown,[6]
In the air of melodious joy he is thrown,
Train him in flying per your competence,
He counselled others in this regard,
To Vahid Akbar and Name of Azim,[7]
To Name of Asdaq and Name of Karim,[8]
He commanded all to be his mentors,
So that his poison may convert to good,
A person with such regard and such place,
How soon has become arrogant and crude,
Dayyan was killed per his command,
His body swamped in his blood,
For this injustice committed by that mirror,
Black storm began on that very hour,[9]
The world darkened to a cyclonic night,
Though the sun was shining at noon that hour,
And Ali Akbar, his devoted companion,[10]
Was murdered in Baghdad merciless,
His crime was devotion to Dayyan,
Likewise Abul-Qasim and others,[11]
Not secure from orders to kill,
He ordered the wife of the Bab,[12]
To arrive in Baghdad from land of Sad,[13]
With hundred treachery and contempt,
He took her for one full month,
Afterwards he gave her away,
To that bastard Dajjal from land of Sad,
Whose descendents are from the Devil,
Whose name is the same as mine,[14]
Although known as a thief and a beggar,
He claims God-hood and even beyond,
He is a shame not the Lord of heavens,
Shame is never the beloved Lord of the world,
How respected is the honour of the Bab,
He donated her fully to that Bastard !
Soon she had a son from that tramp,[15]
She was disgraced and abandoned grand,
Woman, If you were related to the Bab,
You would rush to Shiraz in the calm,
Sought refuge in the house of His grace,[16]
Maintain decent morals and your face
