Couplet 673-676


گر جہاں پُر برف گردد سَر بَسر
If whole world be filled completely with ice
تابِ خور بگداز دش از یک نظر
The warmth of sun will get that melted in a moment

وزرِ اُو  و وِزرِ چوں اُو صد ہزار
The weight of that vizier and lakhs of such people
نیست گر داند خدا از یک شرار
Be finished by Allah in a spark

ٰعِنِ آں تخییل را حکمت کند
He can make the thoughts to intelligence
عینِ آں زہر اب را شربت کند
And that water mixed with poison to sherbet

در خرابی گنجہا پنہاں کند
He makes treasures saved in desolation
خار را گل جسمہا را جاں کند
And thorn to flower and body to rooh


                    The answer of the weight of sins of past period in respect of blessing of Allah is like ice, as if whole world be filled with ice but the warmth of sun melts that in a moment. Your sins of past, though whatever it may be, will be vanished due to the blessings of Allah, which pays attention on the basis of truthful repentance. It may also be possible that this couplet is complementing the above couplet. Had it be considered that the whole world is filled with your wishes and your plans, then your plans are like ice and destiny is like the sun. If destiny doesn’t support, then all your plans of achieving worldly desires would be unfulfilled. The concern that you keep for connection with other than Allah in respect of connection and love for Allah is like the dry wood has with the spark of fire.  The weight on a person (repentant) of such connection or weights on millions of such persons, which causes troubles and heaviness in heart, all this will be vanished and annihilated by Allah with His single spark of true love. Thus love for Allah has this effect that the connection of whole life with other than Allah does not have even a trace of it. Bad imaginations, which you are afraid of, then due to the blessings of Allah, these thoughts become the beneficial knowledge. The conversion of bad thoughts and damaging knowledge into beneficial wisdom has many ways – one of which is that person is well aware of bad and diversion and hence cannot be got deceived. Secondly, since that person has the power of convince and powers of understanding and he was utilizing the same for  proving the falsehood and evil designs hitherto will then be utilized that powers for true results and correct knowledge, which will benefit others in guidance and knowledge. Thirdly, that person can compare between the false knowledge and true knowledge, due to which the prestige for true knowledge will increase in his sight. Fourthly, he can strongly denounce this false knowledge. Fifthly, as he is contended with these false knowledge and desires for world and hence will not be swayed towards that again.

                  The dilemma that you have with respect to undesirable manners (اخلاق ذمیمہ), that has an extreme example of poisonous water, as the way it (poisonous water) is destructive for body, similarly, undesirable manners  are destructive for rooh. Like poison causes troubles for others, similarly, undesirable manners do cause damage for others as well. But Allah has that powers that if He wishes, the poisonous water be converted into sherbet. Likewise, the undesirable manners of a seeker be converted into good manners by way of practice. In one of the stanza of next couplet, discussion is on conversion of imagination into wisdom and undesirable manners into good manners and says that He has such powers that the power of imagination that one has leading to different kind of conjectures of diversion and thoughts, will be turned into committed truthful knowledge.  The undesirable manners that were assembled in a person leading him to astray from Allah and enmity and jealousy & malice with people has now been the reason for love and nearness i.e. the cause of astray be turned  to cause for nearness.
