کشادہ دست کرم جب وہ بے نیاز کرے
مری نگاہ میں وہ رند ہی نہیں ساقیجو ہوشیاری و مستی میں امتیاز کرے
English translation
In my view he is not a rind at all, O cup-bearer, who would distinguish between ecstasy and lack of it.*
(Rind: A person who has gone so far in the Love of God that he has become ecstatic and is not able to follow the requirements of the Shari‘h. *As long as a person is consciously aware of being or not being ecstatic he is not a rind. He becomes a rind only when he loses this consciousness also.)
