Couplet 155-156


شمس در خارح اگرچہ ہست فرد
Though there is only one sun in the solar system



مثلِ اُوہم میتواں تصویر کرد

But a similar one can be thought of

لیک آں شمس یکہ شد مستش اثیر
But That Sun, with which the exalted world is intoxicated,

نبودش در ذہن و در خارح تطیر
There is no semblance in universe & thought



            شمس in first couplet refers to the external sun and in the second couplet, it refers to the Alla Ta’ala and contains the emphasis of the previous contents. As discussed the difference between the Real Sun and the external sun is in its comprehension through itself, through means and in complete & weak manifestations. Similarly, though there is only one sun in the solar system but one can think of so many other suns  like this one i.e. it is possible to think many other such things. We can sketch not one but in millions of such suns. Unlike this, the Real Sun (Allah Ta’ala), to which this external sun is also subdued or we can say inspite of only one sun, it has no powers of getting others subdued. Rather, it is subdued to the Real Sun, whose example is not there in the universe, neither in actual nor in thoughts and never it could be.
