جملہ معشوق ست و عاشق پردہ
The
complete universe is beloved, and lover is veil
زندہ معشوق ست و عاشق مردہ
Only beloved is a living entity, and lovers are dead
Although,
the secret of love, which is basically matter related to unique existence, was
not revealed in the couplets above as this veiling is for the commoners,
who could not comprehend its reality and
could be indulged in distraction. However,
in this couplet, this secret has somewhat been revealed and indicated for the chosen people.
The
first part of the couplet is the proclamation of the matter and second part is
its explanation. Thus جملہ معشوق ست is a similar to ‘pantheism’ (a doctrine which has
belief that God and the material world are one and the same thing and that God
is present in everything). عاشقrefers
to the total possibilities in the world, which are subdued to Allah. پردہ means external
existence which is concealing or keeping hidden the Real Existence. پردہ is used as simile as
this also is used to hide something as it is only seen whereas the veiled one
is kept as secret. Thus the meaning of پردہ is existence of
external, which is visible. The detail of this proclamation is this that the
possibilities are only externally visible and in reality these are no more a
real entity with any real power as compared to Allah.
