176. Lofty Gates
مذہباں دے دروازے اُچے، راہ رَباناں موری ھُو پنڈتاں تے ملوانیاں کولوں، چھُپ چھُپ لنگھئیے چوری ھُو اَڈیاں مارن کرن بکھیڑے، دردمنداں دے کھوری ھُو بَاھُوؒ چل اُتھائیں وَسّیے، جتھے دعویٰ ناں کس ہوری ھُو |

Meem
Lofty are the gates of religion, the path to God only a wicket Sneak past the pandits and the mullah They begrudge, fight and stop the pain-stricken lovers O Bahoo, let’s go and dwell at a place not claimed by anyone else |
Explanation by Sultan ul Ashiqeen
The religious ways prescribed by four schools of thought or outward knowledge of religion are popular among the masses and their gateways are high and lofty. The path of Faqr is like a small window which is only for the chosen ones. Walk along it unnoticed stealthily passing by the scholars who are themselves veiled by their pride and are oblivious to this path. These people make fun of the travellers of path of Divine love and issue verdicts against them out of malice and jealousy. O Bahoo! Let us go and live somewhere away from these people where no one holds supremacy but Allah.
