Couplet 22


ہر کہ جز  ماہی  ز  آبش  سیر شد
The one other than fish will be contended with the water


ہر کہ بیروزی ست روزش دیر شد
Those who are without food, have wasted their time


              In the above couplets, the description of those people have been made who are never contended with the witnessing, manifesttaion and inspiration/ revelation and remain hungry and uncontended. In technical soofi terminology, they are termed as Fish, which never satiates with the water where it lives. Now it describes two more kind of people, one of them is those who have achieved something and they got satiated with the same and termed as Part Fish(جز ماہی). The other who has not received anything and termed as ‘with no work’ (بیروزی) and their whole life has been spoiled for following the fake. The lesson of this couplet is to suggest that in the path of love, never be contended and never be stagnant.
