Couplet 352-355


سحر را با مُعجزہ کردہ قیاس

Considering magic and miracles on same ground



ہر دو  را بر مکر  پندارد اساس


One thinks the base of both as tricks and wicked

ساحرا با موسیٰ از استیزہ را

Magicians, while fighting with Moses



بر گرفتہ چوں عصائے اُو عَصا


Picked up a stick just like his 

زیں عصا تا آں عصا فرقیست ژرف

But there is huge difference between this stick and that one



زیں عمل تا آں عمل راہےشگرف


There is a huge gap between this work and that work

لعنتہ اللّاہ ایں عمل را در قفا

There is curse of Allah behind this work



رحمتہ اللّاہ آں عمل را در وفا


And there is blessings of Allah behind that work





                     Reference is towards Couplet 339:
ہمسری با نبیاء  بر داشتند
اولیاء را، ہمچو خود پند اشتند

                 Pharaoh understood the magic and miracle (معجزہ) same and could not differentiate and hence declared both of them as tricks and deceiving the eyes. Quran says (26:34) –

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.


                 Similarly the magicians of pharaoh brought a similar stick as that of Moses, though there is a lot of deep difference between the two sticks. There is a vast difference and distance between the actions of magicians and actions of Moses. Allah’s curse was behind the action of the magicians and Allah’s blessings were behind the actions of Moses, as he was fulfilling the orders of Allah Ta’ala, as he was ordered to throw his stick. Thus the Quran says:

And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.
