Couplet 486-489


ہر شبے از دامِ تن ارواح را

The souls are being freed every night from the body



می رہانی می کنی اَلواح را


By You and the plates are uprooted


می رہند ارواح  ہر شب زیں قَفَس

Souls are freed from this cage (body) every night



فارغاں بے حاکم و محکومِ کس


Free from being governed a or governing


شب ز زنداں بے خبر زندانیاں

The way prisoners are unaware of the prison in the night



شب ز دولت بےخبر سلطانیاں


And officials are unaware of the affairs of the kingdom


نے غم و اندیشہ سود و زماں

Nobody is anxious or perturbed of benefit & loss

نے خیال ایں فلاں و آں فلاں

Neither of taking care of this or that one




                        In the previous Couplet 485
گر ہزاراں دام باشد ہر قدم
چوں تو بامائی نباشد ہیچ غم
                    It is said that we could be free from the traps of nafs and satan, if You wish so. The way You allow the spirits (ارواح) to leave the human body on each night. It seems that the doors and walls of the prison (body) are uprooted to allow the spirits to become free. Thus the spirits are  become free every night and become free of any botherations i.e. no worry to rule someone or being ruled by someone nor the prisoners are worrying about the prisons nor the rulers are worrying about their wealth  nor the worry of profit or loss nor thoughts of anyone. Thus the way the spirits are being allowed to move out on daily basis from such a big prison, as they become free of any worries, similarly it is in Your hand to make us free of spiritual (باطنی) calamities.
