Couplet 269

عشقہائے کز پئے رنگے بود

The love (ishq) which is merely for beauty

عشق نبود عاقبت ننگے بُود

Is not a ishq, the result would be shame  and defame

                        This is in the words of Maulana Rum. Earlier it is was described how the love of the girl declined when the beauty and complexion of the goldsmith deteriorated. Now Maulana states this universal convention that the ishq which is based on the color and beauty, that is actually not an ishq at all, but a shame only. The benefits of the ishq is not available in this kind of ishq, instead the end of this would be unsatisfaction and defame. When the reality of this is opened leaving regret only and thinking that where in the shame was I be involved. One should not be in doubt  that in an earlier couplet (couplet 145):

عاشقی گرزیںسر و گرزاں سرست

عاقبت مارا بداں شہ رہبرست

                    It is said that carnal ishq can be changed to Real Ishq and here it is opposite to that. The answer is that the applicability of this is under the conditions mentioned in the explanation of that couplet and in that couplet, the limits have also been mentioned. The ishq containing blameworthy and desirous of carnal pleasure, as has been described here, would lead to unsatisfaction and defame only, if it is not meeting the conditions mentioned there.
