M4:55
Kahulugan · به زبانِ تو — Iyong wika · AI
Overcome with ecstatic joy at finding his beloved, the lover began to praise God and, at the same time, pray for the very watchman whose pursuit had led him to this happiness.
This couplet marks a pivotal moment of spiritual realization in the story. A lover, fleeing a night-watchman (ʿasas), ducks into a dark garden only to find his beloved there. The watchman, who appeared to be a source of terror and misfortune, is revealed to be the unwitting instrument of divine grace, the very cause (sabab) of this blissful reunion.
The lover's reaction is not just relief, but dhawq—a term for profound spiritual tasting or ecstasy. In this elevated state, his gratitude flows in two directions simultaneously. He offers praise (thanā) to God, the ultimate orchestrator of events, and in the very same breath, he offers a prayer (duʿā) for the watchman. This act of pairing the two prayers demonstrates a key Sufi insight, drawn from the Qur'anic verse cited in the story's heading (2:216): what appears to be a curse can be a hidden blessing. The lover now sees the watchman not as an enemy, but as an agent of a benevolent, if mysterious, divine plan.
