Couplet 400-402


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.
