COMPULSION AND OPTION
Chapter 10

I am quite certain that on the doomsday,
To homes and castles in scale he would weigh.
Yet I cherish a feeling for that day,
It would neither suit Him nor to my ‘clay’.¹ 

1.         Underlying thought
            It suits not me for my sins great.
            No hold I had on passions and fate.
            I just fulfilled the God destined fate,
            My sins were a part of man’s own fate.

As Iqbal says in Bang-i-dara

             My deeds are weighed on doomsday when,
            I feel ashamed though you feel ashamcd then.

As Hafiz says

             In respect you say it was my sin,
            Within my power was Hafiz no sin.
