Couplet 230-233

وعدہا باشد حقیقی دلپذیر

True commitments are loved by the heart

وعدہا باشد مجازی تاسہ گیر

False commitments are troubling


وعدہ اہلِ کرم گنجِ رواں

The commitments of ‘good people’ are an open treasure

وعدہ نا اہل شد رنجِ رواں

The commitments of ‘bad people’ are like hell for heart 


وعدہا باید وفا کردن تمام

Commitments are to be fulfilled

ور نخواہی کرد باشی سرد و خام

Not fulfilling makes you cold and weak


وعدہ کردن را وفا با شد بجاں

Commitments are to be fulfilled wholeheartedly

تابہ بینی در قیامت فیضِ آں

So that you could see the benefits of that in the Hereafter



                  This is in the words of Maulana Rum that the true commitments do touch the heart and the false commitment creates perturbation in the heart, which is also narrated in a hadith – الصدق طمانینۃ و الکذب ریبۃ. The commitments of ‘good people’ (اہلِ کرم) is like the pure treasure, as pure gold and silver has value in the market. [گنجِ رواں – this is also the name of the treasures of Qaroon]. The commitments of ‘bad people’ (نااہلِ کرم) is to become the tension and stress for the soul. One has to fulfill the commitments made with complete regard and if you do not fulfill, you will be considered as weak. One has to fulfill the commitment anyhow, so that you can see the rewards of this on the day of the Hereafter.



              In وعدہا باشد الخ,  there is an indication that with the commitments of the accomplished masters, the seekers feel satisfied, whether the commitment is for learning or for blessing for the fruits of meeting (وصول). The commitments of an inexperienced and false master do not give peace to the heart as it is merely for passing and deceiving.
