Couplet 471-473

صد ہزاراں دام و دانہ ست ایخدا

O’Allah! We are among the millions of traps and tricks

ما چو مرغانِ حریص دبے نوا

Like greedy and hungry birds



دَمبدم پابتہ دامِ نوایم

We are being trapped in a new trick everytime

ہر یکے گر باز و سیمرغے شویم

Even though we become hawk or phonix



می رہانی ہر دمے مارا و باز

You are elevating us all the time & then

سوئے دامِ می رویم اے بے نیاز

We start moving towards a trap, O’ You free from any want! 




                 This is in connection with the supplication made i.e. there are millions of traps and snares and our condition is like a greedy bird, who is getting trapped in one or the other snare. Even though if we are a phoenix or a hawk, it is Your grant and favour that You are saving us from these traps and we again move towards the other traps. The explanation of these couplets is that we get snared into the different kinds traps of nafs and satan. We are always susceptible to different dangers and whispers howsoever small, it may be and whatsoever big or perfect (کامل), a person may be. You are saving us from these by You are guiding light, which guides us to move out of these dangers, but we get trapped into the other tricks.
