کہتے تھے کہ پنہاں ہے تصوف میں شریعتجس طرح کہ الفاظ میں مضمر ہوں معانی

English translation

He used to say that Shari‘ah was veiled in tassawuf; as meanings were veiled within words.
(Tassawuf: In this verse it is used in the sense in which the Ulama of the type described in this poem use it. This consists of merely a means of curing illness and helping people solve their day to day problems through amulets and by pretending to subdue secret spirits to carry out the subduer's behests. They use this ‘art’ for worldly gains and respectability, and have commercialized a noble concept.)

Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
