راز ہستی راز ہے جب تک کوئی محرم نہ ہوکھل گیا جس دم تو محرم کے سوا کچھ بھی نہیں

English translation

The secret of life is a secret till there is a confidante; when it is open, it is nothing more than the confidante!
(The confidant of life is an ‘Arif’. When the confidant understands the secret he realizes that he, i.e. Man is the only secret in the universe. This secret is that though Man apparently has humble origins, being created from soil, he has the potential of being the vice gerent of God on earth.)
