Couplet 148


چوں  قلم اندر نوشتن می شنافت

When the pen was busy writing about the ishq



چوں بعشق آمد قلم برخود شگافت


It gets broken when it reaches to writing ishq




            قلم بر خود شگافت puts an allusion that the pen is fed up of writing, as if the pen become tired, then it will not be able to write. The pen was in full flow of writing when it was narrating the different contents and when it reaches to the content of ishq, it ceases to write. It is because of the fact that the ishq is an act of feeling and can be felt internally. Therefore, the pen is stopped writing its reality.
