Couplet 51-52


نقد حالِ  خویش را گر پے بریم
If we keep track of our present condition


ہم زدنیا ہم زعقبیٰ بر خوریم
We would get fruits both from this world and hereafter

ایں حقیقت  راشنو از گوش دل
Try to listen to this reality from the ears of your heart
تابروں آئی بکلّی زآب و گل
So that you would come out of water and clay

            If you take care of your present condition, then you will get the benefits of both worlds i.e. the present as well as the one that will come.  

آب و گل  refers to worldly relations and tastes of desires, as these are from the carnal attribute.  As human being is made of clay and water, and hence referred to آب و گل
