If the authorities, who constitute the mainstay of the public, turn into robbers, where can poor people of desert lodge their complaints?
Note: In the above two verses the poet possibly means that if Allah, the Creator, Fosterer and Guardian Lord Himself snatches away a person from his kith and kin thereby plunging them in grief, whom should the bereaved approach for redress. Would it be worthwhile to stay in the world under the circumstances? Shah was conscious of the fact that in the universe there is a constant play of contradictory forces.

When those on whom you rely deceive,
Poor Mary, who will their complaint receive?

If those who are prop and protection of people, turn out
to be plunderers,
At whose door poor desert dwellers can bewail?
