Hazrat Sultan Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe says that 'some people stay vigil (the night long) but, since, they are unaware of the wakefulness of heart and its vigilance, therefore their body, though, is wakeful but their heart uses to be in sleep in ignorance against Allah Almighty. However, opposite to this, some people are those whose bodies are apparently sleeping but their hearts are wakeful doing the Zikr of Allah Almighty like a Zaakir. Outward tongue and wakefulness of the carnal people and their Zikr is like the Gu Gu bird that takes irregular breaths and cries in vain all the night. At the end he says that 'I wish to sacrifice my life for those people who have tied themselves with the well of Ishq and Muhabbat dug inside them. That is, their body is seen sleeping but the pump of this well is working inside their hearts and the field of their heart becomes green.
