Muhikal Faqar (Qalan)

When, in the beginning, the Seeker of Allah becomes engaged into the Exercise (of preoccupation) of Allah Almighty, then the accursed Iblees laughs. (He) gives the carnal argument and reason of every sort and presents before him the attraction of Dunya (World) and Satan. And Satan throws many a thousand Hijaabaat in the beginning and the end of the Marifat of God. He is the Murshid-e-Kaamil who makes the beginning and the end of the Seeker one and same so that the Seeker of Lord should give no heed to Satan besides the Nafs and Satan.

Allah is sufficient; everything other than Allah is just lust (and greed)!

[O True-Seeker!] Be informed that man, in Chilla, is the billboard of fame and pomp with Outwardly Riyazat, Karamat and Nobility, Formalities and uproar. This is the way in which the Nafs becomes happy and blissful and the Ruh becomes disable and wretched.

It should be known that the Nafs-e-Ammara is the thief of the inside and Satan is the thief of the outside. Both (foes) are the brigands of Eimaan. Their joint action is indispensible. He, whose Nafs-e-Ammara is locked up then it is like this that one has locked the inner thief caught from inside and (thence) the thief of the outside runs from it and does not come near him and a gulf is created between these foes.

Hence, the Nafs-e-Ammara does not come in confinement without the toil (Riyazat), Secret of heart and plenty of Zikr. And he who does not come in hand (and) is not fully confined and the Nafs does not become separate from Satan (he) never becomes Muslim. You know that Satan is the permanent enemy of the man in the same way as breath is with the life.

BAYT (COUPLET)

Your enemy Iblees is along with you day and night,

You should kill Iblees with the Sword of Adab (deference).

?And [O True-Seeker!] be informed that if the Nafs-e-Ammara is the king in the body of the human being then Satan is its minister and the organs are its subjects. That body in which the king permits disorientation and disruption, it is as if the king Nafs and the sparrow Ruh are living in same house and if the Ruh is the king in body and heart is its minister and their subjects organs are living in the house of peace of the creation in the country of Jamiyat then the Nafs-e-Ammara remains worried same as if goshawk is accompanying the Ruh in the body and the sparrow of the Nafs cannot be bold in front of the awe and dread of the goshawk.
