Couplet 278-279


گرچہ دیوار افگند سَایہ دَراز

Though a wall creates a long shadow of it



باز گردد  سوُئے او آں سَایہ باز


But the shadow  will return to it

ایں جہاں کوہ ست و فعلِ ما نِدا

This world is like a mountain and our voice is like our deeds here



سوئے ما آید ندا ہارا صَدا


The echo of our voices come back to us




                        This is the words of Maulana Rum and the punishment to be meted out to the deeds has been mentioned here and elaborated with two examples. The first example is like the shadow of a wall, though become very long, but ultimately comes back to the wall only. The second is that this world is like a mountain and our acts are like the voice. So when you call, the voice will come back to you in the form of echo, similarly, you will get the award on your deeds.
