Why quarrel with the innocent?

You wrote Do not move—whose neck will take the rope?
लातत्तहर्रक खुद लिख्यो ई किस नूं देना एं फाही ।
Law and scripture have their people; an earlier call brought us.
शर्हा ते अहल कुरान भी आहे, असीं अग्गे सद्दे आई ।
Am I not your Lord? The Yes rang through us.
अलसतुबरब्बुकम वारद होया, कालूबला धुंम पाई ।
Be, and it is was heard—and we were already near.
कुनफईकून अवाज़ा होया, तदां असां भी कोलों आही ।
Delight struck me mad; my former self was lost.
लज़्ज़त मार दीवानी कीती नहीं जाती असली आही ।
Why quarrel with the innocent?
