Couplet 670-672



اسپ ہمّت سوئے اختر تاختی
You have moved the horse of your thoughts quite far
آدمِ مسجود را نہ شناختی
But you could not recognize the adored Adam

آخر آدم زادہ اےناخلف
O’ disloyal son, you are the children of Adam after all
چند پنداری تو پستی را شرف
How long do you consider humiliation as elevation

چند گوئی من بگیرم عالمے
How long do you boast that you would conquer whole world
ایں جہاں را پُر کنم از خود ہمے
And filled the world with yourself


                  You have unleashed the horses of your powers to achieve bodily desires and engaged day & night to obtain them. And you could not recognize Adam, who was prostrated by angels. O’ disloyal child, after all you are the son of Adam, then why have you wasted your powers and destiny in obtaining worldly desires. How long do you consider your humiliation as your elevation and your exaltation. How long do you boast that you are overpowering whole world and fill the world with your things, equipage, grandeur, dominion and interests.

            The objective of interrogation in the couplets چند پنداری and چند گوئی  is the inculcation of negation of these contents. Thus these lessons create another question that even if one disconnects, as per the advise for future, with the explained veils of worldly knowledge i.e. philosophy & sinister intelligence and worldly deeds i.e. aspiration of world and worldly desires, craving, wealth and jewels, even then how can the repentance of sins, connection with other than Allah, evil thoughts and bad manners of older times which are assembled in the heart, be done. This has been explained in the subsequent couplets.
