Couplet 413-415


خشم و شہوت مرد را احول کند

Anger and lust make a person squint



ز استقامت رُوح را مُبدل کند


And distract the Rooh from straight path


چوں غرض آمد ہنر پوشیدہ شد

When time comes, talent goes for hiding



صد حجاب از دل بسوئے دیدہ شد


And hundreds of veils shadow the eye of heart


چوں دہد قاضی بدل رشوت قرار

 When a judge agrees for bribe beforehand



کے شناسد ظالم از مظلومِ زار


Then how can he differentiate between the persecutor & victim



                 This is illustration of the contents mentioned above at Couplet 412:
مرد احول گرد داز مَیلاں و خشم
              The lust and anger make a people irrational i.e. squint and distract the rooh from the right path and firmness. Because these two attributes (lust and anger) allow the desires of self (نفسانی) objective and motives to take upperhand. Desire is such an entity that when it comes into play, it downsizes the talent and the actual directions. The orders, rationale and talent will go for hiding once this self centered motives take control. Firstly, the heart of such a person gets veiled, as its comprehension becomes skewed or wrong and since the senses are following the orders from heart, which extends a veil over the eyes from heart as well i.e. sensory comprehension too becomes erred. For example if a jurist makes up his mind to take bribe in a particular case, then he cannot differentiate between the perpetrator and victim. The self (نفسانی) motives are of two kinds, one is to gain something, which is known as lust (شہوت) and the second is to avoid some harm or damage, which is known as fearfulness (غضب). These are the two basic causes for making injustice and not considering the benefit and harm to others. When there is no consideration of others’ benefit or damage, then why does one bother to research the fact or seek actual direction? Instead, he will try to hide from others whatever fact he knows and try to justify in his own heart well. In such a situation, both heart and senses do not work properly and this is the explanation of prevailing veil over the senses and sight.
