My camel moves with the herd and takes musk branches. O mother! He is very secretive. He betrays no indication (of love). Hence please do not judge him by his apparent demeanour. He moves like a normal animal along with other animals but his mind is with the beloved.
Note:(1) In this verse, Shah has presented another picture of a lover of his being secretive.
تا بر تو شود آشکار راز زندگی
خود راجدا ز شعلہ مثال شرر مکن
(Iqbal)
Till you get conversant with the secret of life, do not be a spark divided from the brand . -

My camel keeps with its herd, musk branches it eats,
Mother! My camel's ways I cannot infer,
Outwardly he is with the world, inwardly grazes there.

When with his herd he grazes on fragrant branches,
O mother don't be deceived by his appearance,
He looks like every other camel, but his heart is there where his beloved is.
