Couplet 224-229


تا توانی پیشِ کس مکشائے راز

Don’t reveal the secrets to even your confidant



بر کسے ایں دَر مکن زنہار باز


Don’t open this door to anyone

چونکہ اَسرارت نہان دردل شود

When your secret be remained in your heart,



آں مرادت زود تر حاصل شود


Your desire will be fulfilled very soon

گفت پیغمبر ہر آں کو سر نہفت

Prophet (SAW) said that whosoever keeps his secret



زود گردد با مرادِ خویش جُفت


He will reach to his destination swiftly

دانہ چوں اندار زمیں پنہاں شود

When the seed becomes hidden beneath the ground,



بعد ازاں سرسبزیِ بستاں شود


Then only, it becomes reason for greenery of garden

زرّ و نقرہ گر نہ بود ندے نہاں
 If gold and silver are not hidden,



پرورش کے یافتندے زیرِ کاں


How can they be remained in the mine

وعدہا   و لطفہائے آں حکیم

The commitments and care of that doctor

کرد آں رنجور را ایمن زبیم

Makes the sick contended, free from fear 



                    The doctor has suggested her an advice as above regarding not to reveal the secrets. Now in the same context, Maulana is now advising the readers of the book to not to reveal secret of your  heart to anyone, as much as possible (i.e. don’t tell what is in your heart to anyone). Don’t open the se doors and when your secret is in your heart, then your demand will be met soon. Thus Prophet SAW suggested that whosoever keeps his secret intact in his heart, his requirements will soon be fulfilled. This reference is towards the hadith – ‘keep your needs secret’. Now two examples are cited from common observation. The first is that the seeds are required to be put beneath the earth so this secrecy will become the cause for the greenery and flowering of the garden later. Secondly, if gold and silver are not kept hidden under the earth, how can they be available in the mine. The science has proved that the different things under the earth with pressure create the gold and silver and if all these part of formation of these elements are dug out of the earth, then the gold and silver will not be formed. Only being remained inside the earth, their reality has been changed and will be dug out after finish.

                     There is an indication here for the seekers that they have to maintain secret of their feelings (کیفیت) and internal revelation & inspiration (اسرار باطنی) except with the sheikh (master) and don’t reveal to everyone.

                        Now again coming back to story, Maulana tells that the commitment and favours of the doctor has made the girl confident and of without fear.
