چند بارانِ عطا باراں شدہ
Numerous rains of reward are
raining
تا بداں آں بحر دُر افشاں سدہ
So that the sea becomes the sea
worth raining pearls
چند خرشیدِ کرم افر و ختہ
A number of suns of bounty rise
تاکہ ابر و بحر جُود آموختہ
Then the sea and the cloud
learn the benevolence
چند خرشیدِ کرم تاباں شدہ
A number of suns of bounty
brighten
تابداں آں ذرّہ سرگرداں شدہ
Then created a dust encircling
it
پر توِ زاتش زدہ بر ماء و طین
When the shadow of His falls on
clay and water
تا شدہ دانہ پذیر ندہ زمیں
Then the earth (clay) becomes
the acceptor of the seed
خاک امین و ہر چہ دروے کاشتی
The earth becomes honest &
whatever you sowed in it
بے خیانت جنس آں برداشتی
It gives back the same thing
without any changes
ایں امانت زاں عنایت یافتست
The earth learned this honesty
by the His grace only
کافتابِ عدل بروے تافتست
As the sun of His justice rises
تا نشانِ حق نیاید نو بہار
Till the time, spring season
doesn’t come by the order of Allah
خاک سبزہ را نسازد آشکار
The earth won’t allow to show
the greenery
آں جوادے کُو جمادے رابداد
The Generous One who gives the
inanimate ones
ایں خبرہا ، ویں امانت ویں سداد
These directions, these honesty
and these straight paths
آں جماد از لُطف چوں جاں میشود
The inanimate things become
animate one by the bounty
ز مہریر از قہر پنہاں میشود
The cold winter gets hidden due
to fear
آں جمادے گشت از فضلش لطیف
That inanimate things become
happy due to His bounty
کلُّ شیئی مِنْ
ظَرِیْف ہُوْ ظَرِیْف
Whatever happens from better,
does occur more
ہر جمادے را کند فضلش خبیر
His bounty makes every
inanimate things informed one
ّاقلاں را کردہ ْقہرِ اُو ضریر
And His fury makes intelligent
ones blind
The
discussion of greatness of Allah Ta’ala and subjugation of all the creatures
unto Him has been mentioned in the couplets above. The support and emphasis of
these contents has been there in these extant couplets, as he states that the
attribute of eloquence that the river has got is because it is endowed with the
gifts from Allah TA’ala. Thus the characteristic of rivers/ seas of granting
something are what they received from similar attribute of Allah Ta’ala. The
attribute of generosity that the clouds and the seas have received, as they are
providing enough water, the reason for this is the warmth of the bounty of
Allah Ta’ala. Thus the attribute of generosity of clouds and seas are due to
the beneficence of attribute of generosity and benevolence of Allah Ta’ala. The
sun moves and wanders in the sky, which results in the provisioning of light to
the world and the reason for this is the same due to the warmth of benevolence
of Allah Ta’ala. Thus the attribute of the sun for providing the light to the
world is due to beneficence of this attribute of Allah Ta’ala. The earth that
accepts the seeds and the reason is that the soil and water have been under the
influence of the shadow of Allah Ta’ala. Thus acceptance of seeds by the earth
because of the knowledge is due to the
beneficence of the attribute of knowledge of Allah Ta’ala. The soil has
attained the attribute of honesty and it become so honest that whatever you
sow, you will harvest the same and it does not happen that soil be dishonest
and gives you something else than what you have sowed like it gives you barley
instead of wheat. The reason of this attribute of honesty of the earth and soil
is that it is benefitted and received the same from the attribute of honesty of
Allah Ta’ala, as He is just and to be just, honesty is the prerequisite. On the
basis of this meaning, the attribute of honesty of Allah Ta’ala has been
proved, otherwise there is no such name of being honest amongst the famed names
of Allah Ta’ala. Thus the sun of this attribute of justice of Allah Ta’ala is
illuminating the earth and hence the attributes of honesty and justice of earth
is due to the beneficence from these attributes of Allah Ta’ala. The effects of
earth being informed and knowledgeable that earth will not allow the greenery
and the flowers to blossom till the time, the season of spring occurs with the
command of Allah Ta’ala, like the intellectuals and those who have manners do
not speak till the ruler says so. That Pure Existence (ذاتِ
پاک) is so generous that it provides the knowledge, which are even
beyond plants and animals (plural of knowledge is used here as there are
discussion of two knowledges, one as mentioned in the couplet 632 and the
second in couplet 635, which are clear from their respective explanations), to
an inanimate thing i.e. the earth/ soil. And the earth has been given such an
honesty as mentioned in couplet 634 and such a balanced insight (different
knowledge for knowledge insight and honesty for action insight). Thus correctness
of attributes that has been bestowed contains every attributes that have been bestowed
and mentioned above. This is the beneficence of Allah Ta’ala that a mineral
(earth) has been turned into like human beings with soul, as the attributes of
human beings are apparent in it, contained with the bounty of attributes of
knowledge (علم) & action (عمل). With the emergence of these enjoyable attributes of spring,
the wrath of autumn, the attribute of wrath which brings autumn, becomes
hidden. Because when the effects of attributes of bounty like beauty, happiness
and life appears, then the effects of attributes of wrath like fury and anger starts
disappearing. Similarly, in technical terminology, this pursuit of contrasting themes
is known as tajalliyaat/ advent of names of opposites. Thus that mineral i.e.
earth becomes subtle due to beneficence of the grace of Allah Ta’ala as has
been mentioned in the previous couplet 637. In fact, whatever happens by the grace
of great (خوب), it is actually great. Thus Allah Ta’ala is elegant and
graceful with all His names and
attributes and wherever His splendor pervades, everything there becomes elegant
and graceful. It is His divine nature that it makes a mineral to become
informed and knowledgeable with the advent of His beautiful/ graceful
attributes (جمالیہ) as occurred in above couplets and makes intellectuals and
knowledgeable ones like blind on the advent of His awe-inspiring attributes (جلالیہ), as they could not see the correct or right directions like
Iblees etc.
