شیرِ پشمیں از
برائے گد کُنند
The
beggars used to prepare lion made of wool for begging
بُو مُسَیْلم را لقب احمد کنند
False ones used to give title of Ahmad to the false Muslimah
بُو مُسَیْلم را لقب
کذّاب ماند
But
the title of Muslimah remains a ‘liar’
مر محمّد را اُو لو
الالْبَاب ماند
And that of Muhammad SAW remains ‘Man of Wisdom’
آں شرابِ حق ختامش مُشکناب
He
is a pure wine of truth whose seal is of musk
مادہ را ختمش بود گند و عذاب
Whereas, the seal of wine is filth and hell
شیرِ
پشیماں means there is way of making lion from wool and put it on the
top of a stick for begging. The meaning is this that the false sheikh are
posing as real sheikh and the common mass is thinking these Museelmah (کذّاب)
as Ahmad (حقگو). But at the end, the false one will be
exposed & ashamed and the real one will become victorious and helper of
Allah. It is similar to the case that the title of Museelmah remained a ‘liar’ (کذّاب)
only, whereas the title of Muhammad SAW becomes Man of Wisdom (صاحبِ
عقل) and Man of Knowledge (صاحبِ
عرفاں). Muhammad SAW is the wine of truth (حق),
whose seal is of pure musk, as when the seal breaks its smell spreads like
anything. And if you drink rest of
others, you will be intoxicated. Similarly when Muhammad SAW speaks (i.e. seal
of silence breaks), lights and blessings spread & prevail and if you take
it through to your heart (باطن),
you will be blessed with ishq and love. And the seal of the wine of Museelmah
is of filth and hell, as it smells error and distraction.
With these couplets, the story of Parrot & Greengrocer and associated advises of Maulana end. A new story will start from subsequent couplets.
