Couplet 513-517


ہر کہ بیدارست او در خواب تر

One who is awaken, is more distracted



ہست بیداریش از خوابش بتر


His being awaken is worse than sleep

ہر کہ در خواب ست بیدار یش بہ

It is better to become awaken while distracted



مَستِ غفلت عینِ ہشیاریش بہ


It is better to be alert at the moment while being distracted

چوں بحق بیدار نبود جانِ ما

When our soul is not awaken in the path of Allah



ہست بیداری چو دربندانِ ما


Then apparent awaken up  is nothing more than that of a prison

جاں ہمہ روز  از لکد کوبِ خیال

The soul is being destroyed whole day in the thoughts



وز زیان و سود و از خوفِ زوال


In worldly benefits & losses and fear of reduction 

نے صفا میماندش نے لطف و فر

There is no cleanliness, purity and power



نے بسوئے آسماں راہِ سفر


Neither it is capable of finding path for elevating to sky


                     The person who is more desirous of the worldly things is more far off and unaware of Allah and his alertness (بیداری) is more contemptible than his sleep, when all the matters are kept in abeyance. Because he involves in sins for learning and getting the worldly things and alertness & intelligence for world is nothing and actual alertness (بیداری) must be for Allah. If there is no inclination or awareness of Allah Ta’ala, then that alertness is in fact a prison for us. If because of such alertness, one involves and imprisons more in the things other than Allah and the spirit (روح) has been put in stress for its desire & thought and calculation of loss & profit, its reduction of the worldly bounties creates a lasting damage in the spirit. Its impact is that it loses its sheen, cleanliness, taste and elegance and neither it can be inclined towards superior knowledge, as this inclination cannot be of two sides. When it thinks of regarding learning of tastes of inferior world day and night, then it is obvious that he cannot incline towards the tastes of superior world.
