رَو بروں آراز و شاق آں شیشہ را

Go and bring that bottle from home

چوں درونِ خانہ احول رفت زود

When the fellow went immediately into the house

شیشہ پیش چشمِ اُو دو می نمود

He used to see two bottles for one

گفت احول زاں دو شیشہ تا کدام

That fellow asked, which of the two to bring

پیشِ تو آرم بکن شرحش تمام

To you, tell me in little detail

گفت اُستاد آں دو شیشہ نیست رَو

The master told that there are no two bottles

احَوَلی بگذار و افزوں بیں مشو

Let’s leave the squintness and don’t see much

گفت اے اُستا مرا طعنہ مزن

He told, O’ master, don’t taunt me

گفت اُستا، زاں دو یک را بر شکن

Master said, go and break one of them

چوں یکے بشکست ہر دو شد ز چشم

When he broke one of them, both were become invisible

مرد احول گردد از مَیلاں و خشم

People become squint in lust and in anger

شیشہ یک بود و بچشمش دو نمود

Bottle was one but he saw two

چوں شکست اُو شیشہ را دیگر نبود

When he broke one, the other was not there

                   In this story, the internal (باطنی) squintness (the Yahood king) has been illustrated with the help of apparent or external squintness. One master had told his pupil to go inside the house and pick a glass bottle, he went inside but saw two bottles instead of one and thus came back and told the master that there are two bottles and which one do I pick. The master said that there is only one and leave this squintness and pick that one, the pupil told you are unnecessarily taunting me and there are actually two bottles. The master said, go and break one & bring the other and he did the same and both are missing after he broke one bottle. Maulana Rum thus states that a man is also become squint because of lust and anger and his sight has become angled. See, there was one bottle and breaking the same left no more bottles. The squinting caused by the lust and anger has been explained subsequently. Similarly, the Yahood king was a squint internally (باطنی), who differentiated between the two prophets, as he used to reject one but in fact he was rejecting the other too because the rejection of one prophet is liable for rejection of all the prophets.
