Couplet 270

کاشکے آں ننگ بودے یکسری

Alas! If that shame (love for worldly/external things) would be solid

تا نرفتے وے آں بد داوری

So that this blame would not be put on it





                  Maulana has described the meanness of the carnal ishq in the earlier couplets. Now he states that the carnal ishq which is not fulfilling the conditions of rules is absolutely contemptible. But even in this, the ishq which is weak and have no base or ethics and vanishing quickly, the same is further calling for blames and problems. Thus in this story, the ishq of the girl was weak, as it starts declining once the health of goldsmith is declining. This gave the confidence to the doctor that when this person becomes deprived of beauty and power, the girl’s love towards him would completely finish. and hence he planned to kill the goldsmith. Had her love been a strong and based on ethics & merits and would not be diluted day by day, the doctor would not have planned for his killing, as there would be doubt that if he got killed, she might be no more. Therefore they would have kept the goldsmith with due care. But because of her weak love, the person got killed soon. The lesson is this that the carnal ishq is usually contemptible and weak, which leads to harm to the others, the imagine what would the harm it do to self
