Couplet 543-544


چوں کنی بابے حَسَد مکرد حسد

If you make jealous of a pious person



زاں حَسَد دل را سیاہیہا  رسد


Your heart will get blackened due to jealousy

خاک شو مردانِ حق را زیر پا

Do obey and follow the specific people of Allah



خاک بر سر کن حَسَد را ہمچو ما


And put clay on jealousy like us



                    Now as you come to know that these saints (اولیا) are free from the jealousy, then being jealous of them would be an invitation of a great danger. This is because your heart would be full of darkness if you are jealous of these saints who themselves are free from this bad attribute. Thus it is imperative on you to become the follower of these saints and put dirt on the jealousy as we did, despite having so much worldly knowledge, in following Shams Tabrez, who was not possessing so much external knowledge. Now Maulana turns towards the extant story and coincidentally, here is the discussion of after effects of jealousy as the vizier has destroyed its heart due to this, and also got his ears & nose chopped, as the jealousy is a dangerous attribute.
