Mate in 4. Simple.

2. ... Ra1 is unnecessary. 2. ... Qe3+ will make this a mate in 3.

a) 3. Re2 Qxe2#

b) 3. Kd1 Ra1#

And 2. Rf4 from white will prevent the immediate mate. Though it does lose even more material for white and mate can't be far off.

I did not notice   2. Rf4.  It is the only way to get out but this is what happend during a game and I was proud of it.

 

As for 3. ...Qxe2# is also a good way but a forced pawn mate is a triumph none the less...
