Couplet 28-29

گر بریزی  بحر  را  در  کوزہ

If you put the whole river in a pitcher

چند   گنجد قسمت   یک    روزہ
How much does it contain? A day’s need
 
کوزہ  چشم حریصاں    پر نہ  شد

The pitcher of eyes of greedy has never been satiated

تا صدف قانع نہ شد  پردرنہ شد
Pearl did not form till the oyster contents itself

          In these couplets, the undesirability of greed has been described as the same may help in cutting off the relations with wealth seeking. If a pitcher is being filled from a sea, how much water does it contain? For a day’s use to the limit of the pitcher.  Thus even if there is enough water but you need only a pitcher full of water. Similarly the fate (kismet) is a pitcher, and even though there is huge wealth, but only so much would be attained and utilized that is there in the fate. Further the greedy people usually be never contented and they always need more and more. Now praising the contentment, it is stated that like the oyster, on receiving first drop of rain water shuts itself in contentment, will become the pearl and whereas those which kept opened even after the first drop will be wasted. Similarly if you observe contentment then you will become lighted with the noor like pearl.
