Couplet 740-744


ما کہ باشیم اے تو ماراجانِ جاں
O’  You are soul of our life. Who are we?
تاکہ ما باشیم با تو درمیاں
When you are there, who are we in between?

ما عد مہائیم و ہستی ہائے ما
We and our existences are nothing
تو وجودِ مطلقِ فانی نما
You are unseen, but a complete existence

ماہمہ شیراں و لے شیرِ عَلَم
We are lion, but lion on the flag
حملئہ شاں از باد با شد د مبدم
Whose existence is due to flow of air

حملئہ شاں پیدا و ناپیدا است باد
The attack of lion of flag are visible, but air is unseen
آنکہ ناپیداست ہرگز گم مُباد
The entity who is unseen from eyes, should not move away from our hearts

بادِ ما و بودِ ما از دادِ تُست
Our existence and our show are Your gift only
ہستیِ ما جملہ از ایجادِ تُست
All our existence is Your creation only


                 In the couplets above the word ما (we) has been used profusely and now juxtaposing that he says who are we that the word ما (we) be used for us before You. Thus our existence is such a minuscule that we can even not call ourselves ‘we’. The reason of exaggeration is to showcase the non-entity of our existence and effectively, it is nothing. Further he says that we and our existences are all nothing, though it looks like an entity apparently, and You are the Perfect Existence (وجودِ مطلق), but are not beings seen apparently. Thus what a mistake of considering an existence based on what we see, as we are considering a nothing existence as real existence and the Real Existence is not being seen and hence not in our thoughts. The same has been observed from our transactions & thoughts as we have sight and be proud of our existence and don’t have sight on the existence of Allah. Furthering this content, he puts forward an example that our existence is like lion which is there in the flag (photo of lion on flag or on posters) and it looks like attacking when air is blowing and hence we are able to see the attack or movement of lion of the flag but not the air (thus this attack is nothing but looks like existed). The air which is the stimulant behind movement of lion is actually existent but it is unseen from our sight. Similarly our existence and actions are completely non-existent in front of Real Existence, but are apparently seemed to be existed. Whereas, the Real existence is that of Allah, but our sight do not go towards that. Subsequent to this, he makes supplication that the entity, Who (Allah) is unseen to us (i.e. attributes of Allah) should not be decreased in our heart i.e. if Allah wills, the reality be dawned in our hearts and be witnessed to the attributes and manifestations of Allah every time.
