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.
