M2:3418 — جام می هستی شیخست ای فلیو / کاندرو اندر نگنجد بول دیو
M2:3418
Betydelse · به زبانِ تو — Ditt språk · AI
The Sheikh is explaining that the 'wine-cup' he holds is not a physical vessel of earthly wine, but rather his pure, divine-infused spiritual state, which is utterly impervious to any defilement or evil influence.
This couplet is a direct retort from the Sheikh to the foreign man who is slandering him. The man has accused the Sheikh of hypocrisy, claiming he preaches against wine while secretly drinking it himself (M2:3413-3414). The Sheikh, however, clarifies that the 'wine' and 'cup' he refers to are purely metaphorical. His 'cup' is his hasti (being or existence), which is so filled and overflowing with divine light and truth that there is no room for anything impure. The 'devil's urine' (بول دیو) is a vivid and stark image representing all forms of evil, defilement, and spiritual corruption. The Sheikh is asserting that his inner state is utterly purified and sanctified, making it impossible for any form of evil to penetrate or contaminate it. This is a common Sufi trope where physical objects or actions (like drinking wine) are used as metaphors for profound spiritual realities, often to test or challenge those who cling to superficial interpretations.
- فلیو
- O you of little wit / O foolish one (a term of mild rebuke)
- بول دیو
- devil's urine; a strong metaphor for impurity, evil, or defilement
