Couplet 291-293


ہمچو اسماعیل پشیش سَربنہ

Do bow your head to Him like Haz Ismaeel AS



شاد و خنداں پیشِ تیغش جاں بدہ


And do get sacrificed happily through His sword 





تا بماند جانت خنداں تاابَد


So that your soul will remain in peace




ہمچو جانِ پاک احمد با اَحد


Like the soul of the Prophet SAW in the proximity of Allah


عاشقاں جامِ فرح آنگہ کَشد

The lovers take the drinks of happiness,



کہ بدستِ خویش خوباں شاں کُشند


When beloved kills them by their own hands



                        When you come to know that the friends of Allah (اولیاء اللّاہ) are the deputies of Allah Ta’ala, then your duty is to put yourself in the duty of these friends of Allah and give your life happily in front of their sword of austerity (ریاضت) proposed. Meaning of giving life is to reject the comfort and wishes of lower soul (نفس) i.e. to follow happily and gladly the austerity (ریاضت) and struggle (مجاہدہ) suggested by the master (sheikh) for the cure of external as well as internal (باطن) and take action on these. Therefore be happy with the proximity of Allah (قربِ الاہی) till eternity like the Prophet SAW, who acted on the orders of Allah Ta’ala happily and is thus happy and preserved with the proximity of Allah (قربِ الاہی). The lovers become happy only when the beloved kills then by their own hands i.e. the seekers become happy only when perfect sheikhs, who are their beloved, put them under hard and austere struggles, so that the worldly wishes and wants of self (نفس) be removed.
