Couplet 123-124


ہر کہ گستاخی کند اندر طریق
Whoever disrespects in the path (of sulook)


گرد داندر وادیِ حیرت غریق

Is drowned in the valley of wonders


حالِ شاہ و میہمان بر گو تمام
Now tell the complete status of the king and the guest


زانکہ پایا نے ندارد ایں کلام

Because there is no end to this talk



               طریق means the same as that of راہِ دوست appeared above and  the وادیِ is a jungle streamlet, in which rainy water moves and rest of the meaning is clear.

              Since this story will continue and there is no end to it, so let us come back to the story of the king and the guest.

 Again. Maulana comes back to original story of The King and the handmaiden. This twists and turns are the unique feature of this great book.
