Couplet 33

جسم  خاک  از  عشق بر افلاک شد
       This body of clay reached to the sky due to love

               کوہ  در  رقص آمد  و  چالاک شد   
 The mountain started dancing and became aware

       ‘جسم خاکmeans the pious body of Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam and ‘افلاک’ means the journey of ascension of the prophet to heaven and ‘رقص’ means dancing refers to the story of desire of Prophet Moses to witness Allah.  The meaning is that the ascension of the prophet to heaven became possible because of love as you were the beloved and a beloved is due for nearness and elevation. The story of Moses to see Allah  also happened because of love only and in this case Moses was lover and due to its feeling, you requested for the sight and because of this witnessing, the mountain started dancing i.e. started shaking and Moses became unconscious. On one side , the effect is due to beloved and on other, it is of lover, which is due to love.
