Couplet 68


ترکِ  استثنا مرادم  قَسوتے ست
Not saying Inshallah, I mean the blackness of heart


نے ہمیں گفتن کہ عارض حالتے ست

It should not be said instead, as it’s a temporary phase


             In above couplet, the bad impact of not saying “if Allah wills” (انشا٫ الّٰلہ) has been described. Now he is describing its reality as not saying the same means the rejection from the heart i.e. due to hardheartedness, there is no faith and trust in Allah Ta’ala. Thus merely saying from mouth, without having feeling in the heart, which is a temporary condition, is not an acceptable situation. The second part of the couplet could have two explanations, first could be that the word نے (Ne) may mean disobedience, which has very subtle meaning. As earlier it was said that not saying inshaallah means hardheartedness of the heart and now it is saying that even if it is said from mouth but feeling is not there in the heart, then though it is not rejection but I consider it as rejection of inshaallah. The second explanation is based on obvious meaning that rejection of inshaallah means hardheartedness  and merely orally saying the same would be an transitory phase.
