Couplet 97


آں خیالے راشہ در خواب  دید
The dream that the kind had seen



در رُخِ مہماں ہمیں  آمد پدید

Was reflected from the face of the guest



              Now Maulana takes a detour towards the story  and states that king has seen the guest with same kind of distinctions as was mentioned in the dream. This does not have the meaning that the guest is the same person who was seen in the dreams as he said in the dream ‘gar ghareebe etc’ i.e. tomorrow  you will see an unknown person who is from our side. Thus this person must be a different one and whatever attributes about this person that the king heard from the saint in the dream are perfectly fitting with this person.
