Has anyone seen the poison like flute and panacea like flute?


ہم چو نے دمساز و مشتاقے  کہ دید


Has anyone seen the friend and lover like flute?


           The crying of rooh that has been mentioned above, which removes the laziness and increase the longing for the beloved. This removal of laziness comes with the reduction in the indulgence in the worldly affairs, which the nafs (desire) detests and the rooh likes as its food. Thus it is stated that the rooh has the poison which nobody has i.e. in respect of nafs, whereas nobody has a panacea that it has in respect of rooh. When other roohs are benefitting so much from it and then one can not fathom the taste it is experiencing by itself and become more swift in the desire of the beloved. This nearness to the beloved is termed as intimate or concordant (دمسازی) and this increased desire is termed as longing (مشتاقی) i.e. it does not have any restraint  even just at the moment of meeting (وصل).
