دیوار انطقِ تو خامُش می کند
Your oration stops satan
گوشِ ما را گفتِ تو ہُش می کند
Your oration makes our ears attracted
گوشِ ماہوش ست چوں گویا توئی
When you speak, our ears are
completely inclined
خُشکِ ما بحر ست چوں دریا توئی
Since you are river and our
lands are like sea
با تو مارا خاک بہتر از فلک
The earth is better than
heaven, if you are with us
اے سماک از تو منوّر تا سَماک
O, You, the heaven are lighted
with the fish like you
بے تو مارا بر فلک تاریکی ست
It is darkness even in the
heaven if you are not with us
با تو اے مہ ایں زمیں تاریکے ست
O’ You, how can this world be
dark, if you are with us
با مہِ روئے تو شب تاری کے ست
How can the night be dark, with
your face like moon is shining
روز را بے نورِ تو تاریکی ست
The day is dark without your noor
باتو بر خاک از فلک بردیم دست
We are moving ahead of heaven through
you
بر شَمامابے تو چوں خاکیم پست
We are as deflated in heaven as
in earth, without you
صورتِ رِفعت بود اَفلاک را
The skies are getting the
apparent loftiness
معنیِ رِفعت روانِ پاک را
The pious rooh have spiritual
loftiness
صورتِ رِفعتِ برائے جسمہا ست
The bodies have false
loftiness,
کسمہا در پیش ِ معنٰی اسمہا ست
And are merely a name before
meaning (spiritual)
اللّاہ اللّاہ یک نظر بر ما فگن
O’ Allah, bless us with your
one glance
لا تُقَنِّتْنَا فَقَدْ طَالَ الحَزَنْ
Don’t let us down, as pain has
been extended
These are in the words of pupils of vizier and it is also reply
vizier’s statements and replies are not intended to reject him but it is an
entreat. They eulogized that your oration stops satan (i.e. nafs) i.e the
truth, wisdom, teachings and commands of your orations drive the bodily and
lowly thoughts away. Thus the desired result is to stop the carnal thoughts and
the same is achieved through your discussions.
There is indication that the discussions of masters bring noor and
blessings and hence need to be listened to carefully. As said above at couplet
699:
پُنبہ اندر گوشِ حسِّ دوں کنید
Put
a piece of cotton in your external ears
بندِ حسِّ از چشمِ خود بیروں کنید
Remove
the external hindrance from your eyes
The objective is the hidden ears (ears of rooh) need to be made
attentive and we are also feeling the same and hence we are desiring you to
speak. When you speak, our ears become attentive and as said above couplet 704:
حِسِّ خُشکی دید کز خُشکی بزاد
Our senses have seen this earth
as it is born out of it
That is to move away from dryness and align with river, thus we too
are striving for the same. But the same will be achieved only with your
companionship as our dryness (carnal attributes) become river (spiritual
attributes) when you are with us. You are river of beneficence and what you
said above at couplet 703:
سیرِ باطن ہست بالائے سَما
Hidden excursions are in
heavens
Then this treasure too could only be achieved through our
companionship, as when you are with us, the clay of earth is better than skies.
If we reach in skies without you, then there are darkness for us and with you,
as you’r like moon, how can the skies be dark. Thus we remain with you in the
earth, then we are benefitting the spiritual noor from your nearness & blessings.
When we are separated with you, then even if we reach the skies, we are bereft
of spiritual noor, as spiritual noor are not necessary for physical elevation. Thus
the pupils were saying that we will move away from skies if you are with us and
will remain as lowly as in earth even if we reach skies without you. This is
because these plain skies are merely physically elevated and rooh needs
spiritual elevation, which is not possible without you. This means that sky is
body and bodies get physical elevation and rooh is spiritual one and bodies in
comparison to rooh are like the alphabets of a name (which are not desirable
objectives) as compared to the essence of name (the desirable). Similarly,
bodies are not the desirable objectives, but the rooh are. Thus non-desirable
things could get elevation at very lowly level, whereas, desirable things need
higher level of elevation. They further entreated that for god’s sake, have a
glance at us and don’t let us be empty handed as pain is too much.
