زر خِرد را والہ و
شید ا کند
Gold makes
intellect bewildered
خاصہ مُفلسِ راکہ خوش رسوا کند
Particularly a poor one embarrassing
زر اگرچہ عقل می آرد و لیک
Gold,
though creates intellect,
مردِ عاقل باید اُو را نیک نیک
But you need to be an intelligent and pious person
This
is in the words of Maulana Rum (little digressing from the story) that the gold
(i.e. wealth) makes a man bewildered and enamored, particularly those who are
poor and completely embarrass them, because of greed. Though wealth and gold
increase the intelligence but not of everybody. For this to happen, a highly
intelligent person is needed, who expend the money for good purposes, which
makes him the flag bearer and good servant of his path, the knowledge of which
does not come without knowledge of path and internal capacity.
