Couplet 34-37

عشق جان  طور آمد  عاشقا
O’ you who love, the love became the life of Mount Toor

طور مست و خر موسٰی صٰعقا
And the Toor started dancing and Moses became faint

سر پنہاں ست اندر زیر و بم
There are secrets hidden in zair and bam

فاش اگرگویم جہاں برہم زنم
The world will be destroyed, had it been explained clearly

آنچہ نے می گوید اندریں ایں دوباب
Whatever the flute in saying in these two conditions

گر بگویم من جہاں گرد و خارب
If I explain them, the world would be destroyed

بالب دمساز خودگر جفتمے
If I had been in proximity of lips of my beloved

ہمچو نے من گفتنیہا گفتمے
Then I could have explained as being done by the flute


             In the above couplets, the detailed description of majesty of love has been made. The demand of the situation was to continue to state the effects and secrets of love but all of these effects and secrets are the things to be experienced, which cannot be attained without attaining love. Further, the secrets, besides to be experienced, are quite subtle, minute and erudite and their expression could cause misunderstanding of disbelief and non-belief. Therefore, discontinuing  the current content, Maulana Rum  takes excuse and says that had any of my listeners were true, then I would have told and explained the secrets of love like a beloved.
