Couplet 303


آں گُلِ سُرخ است تو خویش مخواں

He is a crimson colored flower, don’t say it blood




مَستِ عقل ست او تو مجنونش مداں


An intelligent but introverted one, don’t say him insane



This is regarding the fact that sometimes, some good and bad things/ action look same but there is a lot of difference between the two. For example, a deep red flower and the blood are of same colour but there is difference between the two of being pure and impure. Similarly a person is very intelligent but he remains more or less in himself in thought, then he and an insane person, who also remains in himself only, cannot be compared. Thus mere similarity of outer appearance, the two things cannot be taken as same.
