If God blesses someone's destiny with the sight of their spiritual guide, then, O friend, may God never make them look at the face of anyone else.
This couplet captures the absolute fulfillment found in devotion to a spiritual guide (Pir). The poet prays that once God blesses a seeker with the vision of their Master, their eyes may never turn toward anyone or anything else. In Sufi thought, looking upon the enlightened guide is like catching a glimpse of the Divine itself, rendering all worldly distractions entirely meaningless.
