O Wali, the source of all worldly pleasure and outward joy is the radiant presence of the earthly beloved.
Wali reflects warmly on the source of delight in this material world, suggesting that all outward joy springs from the radiance of an earthly beloved. In poetic and Sufi philosophy, mortal beauty and earthly love ('ishq-e-majazi') are seen as glowing reflections that lead the soul toward divine love. He reminds us that it is human affection and beauty that give this otherwise mundane world its color, sweetness, and charm.
