Couplet 101


ضعیفِ غیبی را چو اِستقبال کرد
When the pious guest was welcomed


چوں شکر گوئی کہپیوست  اُو بَورَد

As if sugar is ingrained into the rose leaves



              When the king welcomes the unknown guest, a certain kind of connection was developed between the two like that of gulkand (a sweet made of rose petals and sugar), in which sugar and rose leaves are merged with each other and one cannot decipher the distinction between two. This connection will always develop when there is some commonalities between the two entities and hence an indication is here that the king is Spiritually elevated, as was mentioned at the start of the story.
