ایں زمینِ پاک و آں شورست وبَد
This
is pious land and that is arid & bad
ایںفرشتہ پاک و آں دیوست و دَد
These are pious angels and those are satan
ہر دو صورت گر بَہم ماندر و است
It’s
fine, if both the faces are same
آبِ تلخ و آبِ شیریں را صفا است
Cleaning can be done from both sweet as well as saline water
جُز کہ صاحب ذوق نشناسد بیاب
Know
that no one except spiritually enlightened people can understand
اُو شناسد آبِ خوش از شورہ آب
As he understands difference between sweet and salty water
جُز کہ صاحب ذوق نشناسد طُعوم
Nobody
understands the tastes except spiritually enlightened people can
understand
شہد را نا خوردہ کے داند زموم
One who didn’t taste honey, how can he differentiate between honey & wax
Here
again the discussion is on the difference between the wretched and pious
people. The pious are like the purified place and the wretched are like the
place with salinity. Similarly the one is like the angels and the other is like
satan and ghost. Even though there are some similarities, then see what is the
difference between the sweet water and the salty water, though apparently both
are capable of doing the cleaning. This spiritual differentiation between the
two could not be understood by a common person like the sherbet or other drinks
can only be known by a connoisseur, those who has the taste for the drinking
and he only can point out which is sweet water and which one is salty water.
Similarly, the taste of eating can only be differentiated by connoisseurs who
have such powers. For examples, the taste of honey and wax can be clearly
distinguished by eating it. Similarly, the taste of internal (باطنی)
requirements needs to be perfected to understand the difference between the
good and bad, particularly when both of them apparently looking same.
