Roman:

Paataa daaman hoiaa puraanaa Kichrak seeve darzee hoo

Baajh murabbee kise na laddhee Maraz es andar dee hoo

Haal da maihram koee na miliaa Jo miliaa so gharzee hoo

Ose raah wal jaaee-e (Hazrat Bahu ) Jis ton khalqat dardee hoo

Here Hazrat Sultan Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe says that the real internal disease of the Nafs is Self-conceit and self-conceit and Nafs fears much against its death but, for the Aashiq, death is like Ain because after crossing across the bridge of the death, the Aashiq becomes Waasil with his Beloved. Hence, he issues his Talqeen to the Seeker in these couplets that for how long will he try to mend his old and torn shirt of his body from the tailors, that is, for how long will he get it treated by the doctors and surgeons. Mentor Murshid knows the disease of fearing against death well. We could not find any Seeker in our entire life, who would risk his head and life for the cause of Allah Almighty. We have seen all the slaves of personal interest. Hence, he is the True-Seeker whose death should be the Ain and not that death from which common people fear.
