Couplet 9


آتش ست ایںبانگ نائے و نیست  باد
This sound of flute is fire and not air


ہر کہ  ایں  آتش  ندارد  نیست  باد
Whosoever doesn’t have this fire, he is no better than nothing

          Here is the description of effects of crying of flute i.e. seeker of Allah as it is that fire which can make others burnt, as it has been seen that induction  effect of the lover of Allah  creates instigation and tumult in others and unlike no effects of air. Now Maulana describes the ishq as the highest wealth that whosoever does not possess this, he is better be destroyed. How is that life in which there is no desire (of maarifah) and it is better to be dead than this kind of life. Or on other terms, he is giving blessings that whosoever does not possess it may possess it as well and may get the ecstasy and trance.
