97. World is Idol - Worshipping
راہ فقر دا پرے پریرے، اوڑک کوئی نہ دِسّے ھُو
ناں اُوتھے پڑھن پڑھاون کوئی، ناں اُوتھے مَسلے قصّے ھُو
ایہہ دُنیا ہے بُت پرستی، مت کوئی اِس تے وِسّے ھُو
موت فقیری جیں سِر آوے بَاھُوؒ، معلم تھیوے تِسّے ھُو
ر
ਰਾਹ ਫ਼ਕਰ ਦਾ ਪਰੇ ਪਰੇਰੇ, ਓੜਕ ਕੋਈ ਨਾ ਦਿੱਸੇ ਹੂ
ਨਾਂ ਉਥੇ ਪੜ੍ਹਨ ਪੜ੍ਹਾਵਣ ਕੋਈ, ਨਾਂ ਉਥੇ ਮਸਲੇ ਕਿੱਸੇ ਹੂ
ਇਹ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਹੈ ਬੁੱਤਪਰਸਤੀ, ਮਤ ਕੋਈ ਇਸ ਤੇ ਵਿੱਸੇ ਹੂ
ਮੌਤ ਫ਼ਕੀਰੀ ਜੇਂ ਸਿਰ ਆਵੇ ਬਾਹੂ(ਰਹ), ਮੁਅੱਲਮ ਥੀਵੇ ਤਿੱਸੇ ਹੂ

Raah Faqr da pare parere, orrak koee na disse Hoo
Naa othe parhhan parhaavan koee, naa othe masle qisse Hoo
Eh dunya hai bott-parastee, mat koee es te visse Hoo
Maut fakiri jain sir aave Bahoo, muallam theeve tisse Hoo
Re
Faraway is the path of Faqr. Its end has no end
There’re no laws, learning or fables
This world is idol-worshipping. Don’t trust it!
O Bahoo, a Fakir knows. He is born on death before dying.
Explanation by Sultan ul Ashiqeen
The destination of Faqr is far away rather its journey is eternal. It is accomplished where Allah is all alone and there is no knowledge, no sharia to answer queries and no storytelling. The physical world is nothing but idol worshipping and should not be trusted. Faqr is accomplished on:
مُوْتُوْا قَبْلَ اَنْ تَمُوْتُوْا
Meaning: Die before death.
Fakirism is neither in intellectual conversations nor in solving problems. It is also not in storytelling. This is the path of love with only Allah and drowning in His Oneness. The one who is accomplished in Faqr, only he knows about its virtues and spiritual states.
