O ascetic! Since you have got your ears lobed, you should not be effeminate. The fighters (In the cause of Allah) often lost their lives. O holy man! Is that not so? Did you not hear about it? If you want to learn anything (about self-renunciation), you may certainly enquire about it, because a dumb person does not win the race. O Lahuti! Proceed apace in your enterprise, but very meekly and submissively at the same time.
یہ شہادتگاہ الفت میں قدم رکھنا ہے
لوگ آسان سمجھتے ہیں مسلمان ہونا
(Iqbal)
It is stepping into the arena of martyrdom of love. Folk consider it an easy job to be Muslim;

Yogis having got your cars pierced be not effeminate,
Have you not heard that God's soldiers sacrificed their heads?
Ask what you need to ask, those who remain dumb, cannot go forth,
With humility as you guide, to Lahoti go your destined goal.

Let love's fire smolder within your heart,
Then let it blaze and burn yourself,
Conduct yourself so that from fire into water you turn.
