Couplet 563-566


ظاہرش میگفت در رہ چُشت شو

Apparently he was saying to be ready for the path of attaining knowledge
و از اثر میگفت جاں را  سُست شو
But impact-wise, it was to say be lazy

ظاہر نُقرہ سپید ست و منیر
The external appearance of silver is though white & bright
دست و جامہ زاں سیہ گردد چو قیر
Hands & clothes get blackened with it like coal

آتش ار چہ سُر خر و است از شرر
Fire is dark red due to the sparks
تو ز فعلِ اُو سیہ کاری نِگر
But you have to see its dark works

برق اگرچہ نور آید در نظر
Lightening though looks like noor for the eyes
لیک ہست از خاصیت دُردِ بصر
But in effect, it is capable of removing sight of eyes



                              The apparent meaning of his (vizier) contents is that to be ready and steady on the path of religion, but internally, there is nothing and instead, a person becomes more lazy, as these suggestions are bereft of sincerity & truth but full of trick and showiness. Further, there are some examples physical world, as his talks are like apparent whiteness of silver, which causes blackness on the body & clothes like tar coal.  Similarly, see the fire, which is red apparently but its effects are dark and the apparent noor created by the lightening, but actually it takes the noor (sight) out of the eyes.
