Couplet 31-32


شادباش  اے عشق خوش سودائے  ما
Be happy, O’ my passionate love
اے  تبیب  جملہ علتہائے  ما

O’ you the doctor of all my ailments


اے  دوائے  نخوت  و  ناموش   ما
O’ the cure of pride and desire of being famous

اے  تو  افلاطون  و  جالینوس  ما

O’ you are our Plato and Galen

           In these couplets, the praise of love has been mentioned and metaphorically, it is addressed and said that you are the one because of which conducts are corrected (سوداis thought/ conduct). You are the remedy for all types of ills and as described above, you are the one to remove pride and self seeking honour. Love has an special privilege in correcting this shameful thing (pride and honor) as love has humbleness as a desired attribute and honor & humbleness cannot go hand in hand and hence the elevation of one will reduce the other. Thus Maulana compares the love with the Aflatoon (Plato, a famous philosopher) and Jaaleenoos (Galen, a famous Greek physician).
