Couplet 484-485


چوں عنایاتت شود با ما مقیم

When Your blessings will be with us,



کے بود بیمے ازاں دُزدِ لئیم


Then where is the fear of that wicked thief


گر ہزاراں دام باشد ہر قدم

Even if there are thousands of traps on the path



چوں تو بامائی نباشد ہیچ غم


Nothing to worry, if You are with us


                      Allah Ta’ala has been requested in these couplets i.e. although the traps of nafs and satan are dangerous but with Your eternal favours, which is bestowing on us, we are safe from these traps. Even if there are thousands of traps in each step, but we do not bother them if You are with us.

                     Here is an indication for the seekers (سالک) not to be reliant on his معرفہ or struggles, but do entreat from Allah Ta’ala continuously and keep faith on the His sight and bounty. As Sheikh Sa’adi says:

تکیہ بر تقویٰ و دانش در طریقت کافرست


راہرو گر صد ہنر وارد توکل بایدش
