Ainul Faqar Ainul Faqr

He makes the Seekers Self-Sufficient against the wealth and possessions of Dunya (World). He himself is free of greed (and grasping). Seekers are dear to him as his life. He is himself completely poor like Dervish. That person, who gives funeral bath to the dead body, is called "Ghussaal". The Seeker with a dead heart remains in search of that Murshid, who falls in the class of Die-before-death (as) such [Murshid] gives life to the Dead Hearts. The Seeker should also remain steadfast (and persistent) on the Course of Faqar and hunger otherwise he will be remembered as incapable and insubordinate Seeker. Moreover, the Murshid is the likeness of potter [for the Seeker]. Thus, mud gasps not before him. He does what he deems fit.

What opportunity mud has to ask to the potter that,

For whom he prepares it and why does he shape it?

But the Murshid should also be one, who discerns the Truth (godly) and the Seeker should be with True Yaqeen (Certainty). The Murshid is Rafiq (Companion).

HADIS

(Saying of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam)

First Rafiq (companion) then Tareeq (Way).

O Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe! The Murshideen of these times are traps to snatch money,

That Murshid, whose gaze makes you gold, is matchless.

ABYAAT e BAHU (Couplets of Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe)

O Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe! The Murshideen of this era worship money and women,

And have become self-servers after becoming dark hearted by this worship,
