FususAlHikam

In the poem he writes that,

"By spending the night in vigil don't think you have gained wilayah, because even dogs stay awake at nights."

This is a very powerful line and its really pierces through the heart of anyone who does nightly vigil whether they be a shaikh or mureed. The theme of the poem is humility and humbleness and this line drives the concept home even further. A few things are mentioned in this line:

(1) Nightly vigils

(2) Wilayah

(3) Comparison to dogs also being awake at night
