Couplet 59-61


شوں خرید اُو را و بر خور دارشد
When he became successful in buying her

آں کنیزک از قضابیمار شد

Incidentally, the handmaiden became ill


آں یکے خَرداشت پالانش نہ بود
A person has a donkey but doesn’t have the packsaddle
یافت پالاں گرگ خر را در ربود
When he was able to get a packsaddle, lost the donkey

کوزہ بودش آب می  نامد بدَست
One has a saucer, but do not have the water to drink
آب را چوں یافت خود کوزہ شکست
When he got the water, the saucer got broken


            The aim of the two examples is to show that barely anyone gets the full success in the world as mentioned in these two examples that if you get one thing, you lose the other. The similar is the case of the king as earlier he could not get the girl, now he bought the girl but could not be able to become intimate as she became ill. The indication is towards the point that the interest/ attachment should not be towards this world and the things available in this world, as one cannot achieve the complete satisfaction in the chores of this world.
