Couplet 746-749


لذتِ انعامِ خود را وا مگیر
Don’t take back the taste of Your bounty
نُقلِ خمر و جامِ خود را وا مگیر
Don’t take back the snacks of wine and goblet of wine

ور بگیری کیست جُست و جُو کند
Who can argue, even You decide to take back
نقشِ با نقّاش چوں نیر و کند
How can sculpture argue with its creator

منگر اندر ما مکُن در ما نظر
Don’t see us and don’t keep eye on us
اندر اکرام و سخائے خود نگر
See the bounties and charity bestowed on us

ما نبودیم و تقاضا ماں نبود
Neither we were nor our request
ُلطفِ تو نا گفتئہ ما می شنود
You kindness have been hearing our untold stories


                   It has been said above at Couplet 745 that
عاشقِ خود کردہ بودی نیست را
You made a non-existent one Your devotee

Now the gifting of bounty of love has come to our knowledge and it has been put forward in the court of Allah regarding this and said that don’t take away the taste of bounty of love from us. Furthering this it is said the attributes of ishq i.e. snacks eaten with wine and goblet of wine (باطنی), which means the knowledge, awareness and hidden conditions should not be removed from us. And who is there who can question Allah what He does as Allah says in Quran (21:23):

He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned

And in Quran (13:41):

And Allah decides; there is no adjuster of His decision. And He is swift in account.

                       As we are merely the sculptures and You are the creator of these sculptures and hence how can sculptures argue with the creator. And we are not making a claim of these bounties, rather we are not worthy of having these bounties if our errors and defects are considered. Instead we are merely dependent on Your kindness and blessing and hence don’t look over our conditions as our position is always found to be error-prone and bad. You look at your bounties and gifts and we need not to be a claimant to getting these. Thus it is further said that we were nothing and neither we were desirous (to get certain bounties) but Your blessings are listening to our these untold desires and has bestowed this existence and other things.
