Punhoo manifests himself sometimes through darkness (i.e. disfavour) and sometimes through light (i.e. favour). To me he came directly in multicoloured way. Usually his policy is first to apply caustic soda (to a clothe) and then to dye it, (i.e. first to cause distress to cleanse and purify, and then to follow it up with a marked favour.)
And We will test you with somewhat of feat (of enemy), and of starvation and of loss of property and lives and of fruits; and convey glad tidings to the patients. (155, AI-Baqarah).

Punhoon's manifestation is sometime bright and sometimes dark,
I am faced with this variegated path,
First with caustic salts I will be bleached, then dyed red.

The reflection of Punhoon is something bright, sometime dark,
I have come now to this variegated way,
First they will apply caustic soda and then dye me.
