بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
والصلاة والسلام على خاتم النبيين
Dawud Khaki (d. 994 H), considered a great Sufi poet and saint, composed the following line:
چوں رسول اللہ گفت پیر مانند نبی است
کے بود مومن کے کزاز وے نبی منکر شد است
The Prophet said, a guide is like a Prophet,
How can a person be faithful if he is not the Prophet’s favorite
(Wird ul-Muridin; p.132, #279):
In the second line of the couplet it is obvious Dawud Khaki is metaphorically naming the guide or pir as “Prophet”, meaning one who is guilty of rejection of the guide/pir is faithless.
