Couplet 289-290


آنکہ از حق یابد اُو وحی و خطاب

One who gets direction and communication from Allah



ہرچہ فرماید بود عینِ صَواب


Is perfectly correct in whatever he is saying


آنکہ جاں بخشد اگر بکُشد رواست

One gives life is right to take life   



نائب ست و دستِ اُو دستِ خداست


He is vicegerent of Allah & his hand is Allah’s hand




                 There is arguments for the lawfulness of killing through inspiration (الہام). Everybody agrees that who gives us the life (i.e. Allah Ta’ala), then if he takes the life back  and is lawful for Allah. Allah is carrying out this act sometimes by Himself and sometimes through His deputies. What is the issue if He gets this work done through His deputy through inspiration (الہام) as the friends of Allah (ولی) is Allah’s deputy. The action of ولی is akin to the action of Allah Ta’ala and there should be no doubt about this. Hand (دست) is referred to get the work done and metaphorically, it has been termed this way as usually works are being done by hand.
