Couplet 46


عشق خوابد کایں  سحن بیروں رود
The love likes things to be revealed


آئینہ ات غماز نبود چوں بود
Why don’t be your mirror be your informer

             The details of love like its effects, its secrets, its praise and its deeds have been continuing from top and now it has been stated that the explanation or expression  of love is boundless as these are the details of the Beloved and their being boundless and limitless as has been confirmed from Quran (18:109) –

Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement."

             And because of being boundless, this story has become stretched & detailed and since the listeners also do not possess the clarity of understanding, the detailed explanation is of no use, as without having the understanding the nuances, one cannot comprehend the matter. Thus in the second part of the couplet, the example of mirror is given, which if not clear  and clean (termed as غماز), then the reflection of any item or image formation of anything is not possible.

[Every heart is required to be filled with tajalli (), but every heart is not capable of holding it because of its corrosion.]
