Couplet 286-287


کشتنِ آں مرد برستِ  حَکیم
The killing of that person in the hands of the doctor
نے پئے امید بود و نے  زبیم
Was not due to any greed or any fear


اُو نکشتش از برائے طبعِ شاہ
He didn’t kill him on behalf of the king
تا نیامد اَمر و  اِلہام از الاہ
Till he gets a direction and intuition from Allah



Killing the goldsmith was Allah’s direction and not with any bad motive


                  There is apprehension that the doctor killed the goldsmith by contaminating the sherbet without any of his faults and the king tolerated this act. Maulana stated in the preceding couplets that these two (I,e, doctor and the king) are gnostics and followers of religion. Maulana answers it that the killing was not due to any worldly desires, as he did not desire any favour from the king or his wrath or any pressure from him, but it is because of only inspiration.
