Couplet 118-119


ابر ناید از پئے منعِ زکات
Not giving charity (zakah) leads to stopping of clouds


وز زنا افتد و با اندر جہاں

Carnal indecency leads to social evil

ہر چہ آید بر تواز ظلماتِ غم
The darkness of sorrow tat come to you


آں زبے باکی و گستاخی  ست ہم

Are also due to disrespect and indecency



             The first couplet reiterates the original theme that bad acts of few would cause the troubles for all in the surrounding i.e. in a community or in a town or in a city etc.
The context explained in the second couplet are from Quran’s ayah (42:30):

And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned
