Couplet 342-345


ہر دو گوں زنبور خورد از یک مَحَل

Both types of honey bees ate from same source



لیک زیں شد نیش و زاں دیگر عَمل


But one produces sting and other honey

ہر دو گوں آہو گیا خور دند و آب

Both the kinds of deer ate grass and drank from same source



زیں یکے سرکیں شد و زاں مُشکناب


One excretes merely dung, whereas other gives musk as well

ہر دو نے خور دند از یک آبحور

Both types of bamboos are watered from same source



آں یکے خالی و آں پُر از شکر


One is hollow and the other is full of sugar

صد ہزاراں ایں چنیں اشباہ بیں

There are millions of such examples with you



فرقِ شاں ہفتاد سالہ راہ بیں


But there are separation of seventy years between them



                     Some examples to clarify the issues at above. The first one is that both the type of wasps sucked nectar from similar kind of flowers, but one has given sting and the other produced the honey. The second example is that both the type of deer ate the same grass and drank the same water but one produced only dung whereas the other pure musk as well. The third example is that both the type of bamboos were irrigated with the same water, but one remained hollow and the other gave us the sugar. You can see similar kind of examples in millions and you will find a lot of difference. Thus even though an attribute of two things may be same, but the importance of other attributes in them will not be reduced, and hence the difference between them.
