Couplet 175


گفتمش پوشیدہ  خوشتر سِرّ یار
I told her that the secret of Friend is better hidden



خود تو در ضمن ِ حکایت گوش دار

Instead, you would listen to in the form of story


                 Now the answer to rooh is that though the requirement of the time is there but there is more requirement of keeping wisdom in mind and demand of the wisdom is that to keep this secret concealed only. Here this wisdom has been kept in brief but in the subsequent couplets, there will be detailed discussion on this subject. The objective of the second part of the couplet is that I have not completely stopped on the matter, instead has been mentioned in stories and examples. And the reference with these stories and examples are complete allegories which are there in the book and therefore the writings of Maulana Rum has full of such indications at a number of places. And in one such couplet of the preface (proem), we have made a detailed account of the content so that a common person can understand.
