Couplet 44


من چہ گوےم ہوش دارم پیش و پش
What do I say that I am keeping knowledge of back and front



چوں نہ باشد نور یارم  ہم نفس
If the light from my friend is not with me

              In this couplet also, the details of same content of awareness from Allah Ta’ala and His inclination and company towards the seekers has been made. Otherwise, if he does not extend His company, which is termed as نفسی in the couplet, then I am not at all aware of the knowledge of what is in front of me and what is behind me and also of the difficulties of this path (طریقت) and how can I be safe in the path. The following verse is there in the Quran (7:17) in praise of Allah Ta’ala:

Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You]."
