Muhikal Faqar (Qalan)

RUBAEE (QUATRAIN)

Dive if you need the pearl,

Four skills are needed for the diver,

In Friend's hand is the Authority to seize Ruh, you just care not your life,

And gasp not and lay your head on His feet [that is, bow your head].

[O True-Seeker!] Be wise that the real root of the Ilm, Marifat and Worship is the 'morsel of food'. And 'morsel' is also of two kinds:

That morsel which is Haraam (inadmissible) and quasi-admissible like the fire of Hell. This gives birth to lust, jealousy, back biting, vindictiveness, enmity, Nifaaq, Riya and dissatisfaction and (one goes in) spittoon of Nafs and Satan.

All this is due to the (efficacious) effectiveness of the Haraam Morsel. And the Halaal (admissible) Morsel (of food) is as the likeness of water, that is, the Aqua of Eden. When the Halaal Morsel enters body, the fire of Hell like the lust etcetera all become inedible and become cold and (man) becomes penitent. And Penitence is also of three kinds and it has three signs as three traces are produced by it:

1.                                                                                          Penitence against ignorance

2.                                                                                          Reading Ilm with genuineness (and devotion)

3.                                                                                          His Ilm becomes radiant from the outset till end

That Aalim, who is Aamil, he gets engaged into the act of the worship of Lord. Hence, (he does) the Zikr, Fikr and repents for his engagement that had been with the Dunya (World) and the People of Dunya (World). On him becomes clear and bright the Marifat of Lord. Moreover, he remains actively present in the Majlis of Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam and remains under the focus of the Master-of-gaze. That person, who, with genuineness (and devotion) and Tasdeeq through Qalb, regrets for the abomination and vices (Fisq O Fajoor) and robbing, that much gold-and-silver will be got by him as he would desire on penetrating his hand in soil. Penitence of this Tareeq meets acceptance and the Penitent does not become needy.

O brother! All this Auspiciousness (and blessing) is of the Halaal Morsel. The Ulema-e-Aamil and the Kaamil Faqeers identify the Haraam Morsel in the very first sight and they get the Halaal found out.
