It is all dark for me without Lord Punhoo. No gleam of light is perceptible anywhere. My beloved! Kindly remove all smoke (rust of dualism) from my mind and make it absolutely clean. "Satan is his guide who has no guide" is the popular maxim. Without a guide the way is dark. He who ventures to proceed alone (without a guide) is swayed by vanity. He is likely to go off the track and suffer in the bargain. It is improper and unwise to proceed without a guide along the path of self renunciation. (That is practically tantamount to attempting to cross sea without a boat). Innumerable persons, who ventured (along the path of religion) without a guide, lost their way.
Allah is the light of the skies and the earth. (35, Al-Nur)
He is without light to whom Allah does not give light (40, Al-Nur)
Allah guides to the straight path whomso He wills (45.AI-Nur)
شبم تاریک شد بی ماہِ تاباں
(Razai)
In the absence of the brilliant moon (i.e. the beloved) it became like a dark night for me.

All is dark for me without Ari Jam,
No light appears in absence of my Lord,
Remove the rust from my heart and brighten it,
'He enters the ocean without a boat, who traverses the path without a guide',
Many are misled, who without him journey undertake.

All is darkness without Aari lord,
No one can ever perceive brightness without the beloved,
O my love, dispelled all fog, and clean my heart,
'whoso has no guide, his guide is Satan,
'*without guide all is darkness,
One who goes alone is distracted by conceit,
'He who takes up Tareeqat without a guide'' is unwise,
Many a seeker lost the path because of that.
