Couplet 271-272

خوں و دید از چشم ہمطوں جوئے اُو

There were blood flowing from him river like eyes

دشمنِ جانِ وے آمد روئے اُو

And his beauty becomes the reason for his death


دشمنِ طاوُس آمد پرِّ اُو

The enemy of peacock is his feathers

اے بساشہ را یکشتہ فرِّ اُو

And a lot of kings vanished because of their extravaganza





                   Now the discussion is that the beauty of the goldsmith was the reason for his death, as his once beautiful eyes now flowing with the tears of blood (because of sadness of death) and the beautiful face of his became the cause of his death. As if he was not that beautiful, why was the plan made for the killing. Now he states two examples for this, one is the feathers of the peacock are its enemy, as it is getting killed for the purpose of obtaining these feathers. Secondly, a number of kings, who were showy and displaying pomp and show, are declined due to this fact only, as the other are planning for their destruction.
