the souls. Hence the ninth parts of the souls drank that heavenly peg ang got inflicted in longings of the
hoors and the castles.
The third bowl, the bowl of prophets Auliyas destitutes and enlightened scholars of hadeeth which was
filled with meditation eagerness and union and states of peril unto Allah and survival with Allah as well as
the love fire that was the monochromatic peg of the varied observations of glimpses of noor of the
Cheriher with extreme degree of bountifulness affimity beauty and gusto, which the enthusiasts and lovers
of Allah drank at the very sight hence there very people turned all accomplished at the stage of graves
while the world and heaven turned forbidden upon them.
An Anecdote: - O dear! The king of saints Hazrat Nizamuddin Mehboob Illahi pens down about the world
and heaven being forbidden upon the seeker of the master that when Hazrat Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar
Ka’aki Qurshi (R.A.) said to mehboob-e-illahi “O Nizamuddin (R.A.) whether you wish to become Mehboob-
e-Ilaahi or Aashique-e-Illahi? He replied “I shall mention it my mother and I shall submit the reply as and
how my mother should say. When he departed the Khwaja Saheb’s place and came to Delhi he found a
destitute person sitting in a shop in a Bazaar of Delhi he loudly said “ O Nizammudin what are you going to
reply tomorrow ?
He (R.A.) replied” I shall inquire from my mother. The destitute said Ok you may go we shall reply to you
on this tomorrow. When he reached his house and narrated to matter to his mother saying that “I Have
come with a promise that I shall give you reply going to your say”. On this his mother said “ Ok my son we
shall also reply tomorrow “ he became silent when there was break of the day and he had finished up with
his prayers then his mother said :” O My son you must first visit the destitute person and let us see what
reply he has to offer to you and I shall be replying there after only “. When he visited Bazaar to search that
destitute he inquired to the shop keeper with him the destitute was sitting. It was learnt that the destitute
had died the last night and it was a short while before that the sweepers had carried his corpse dragging.
He saw that the dead body was lying in a ditch and a lot of muddy water was over it. After seeing that dead
body he said.” You have gone there and you have not replied to our question too.” He saw that a
movement took place in that dead body and that destitute immediately got up reciting Kalima Taiyeba and
said: “O Nizammudin! Did you notice it is the state of the Lovers go and you adopt the stage of the
Beloveds. For the God’s sake do not enroot you name in the register of the lovers otherwise you condition
shall become like mine.” After saying this destitute passed away. When Nizammudin saheb reached his
home and narrated the entire incident to his mother she said “O my son! I was about to tell the same that
your aptitude does not benefit the trait of the lovers rather you are a divinely beloved.” When the next day
he submitted the idea to Hazrat Khwaja Qutbuddin, he became quite happy and enrolling him amongst the
divinely brides conferred upon him the quality of Beloveds.
O dear! With the present anecdote we had aimed at the rank seekers of the master are those who
don’t care for the world even do not care about the heaven itself. On the contrary they consider seeking of
the Master itself to be everything and regard heaven to be the worse then a sins as and how the destitute
had pointed out to Hazrat Mehbooh Illahi and demonstrated beforehim the position of the place of love.
That is why the lovers always keep themselves at the spot of love and to all incidents which occur upon the
lover co-relate with the real beloved. Hadeeth: “the world is forbidden for the people of uqba and hereafter
