Habib Qawaal also sang a ghazal. During his singing, at times, Baba would explain the meaning of certain verses. At one point, he translated:

These are wonderful words. The lover tells the Beloved, the Perfect Master: "O my Beloved, I am also nonexistent in your love. I am burned up from head to foot. I am a live volcano all aflame! Don't stop the tears that fall in the pain of separation from you! Don't comfort me — don't wipe away my tears with your daaman — otherwise your own daaman will burn. I only want union with you, nothing else; otherwise, keep away!" This is the complaint of the lover.

The lover warns other lovers: "Beware! Once you drink the wine of love, you do not belong to yourself. You are dead to the world. You cannot complain, for love seals your lips!"

Here is a warning to Baba lovers: Either keep away from this wine of love of Beloved Baba, or if you taste it, seal your lips against all complaints!

The joke is that the lover says: "I try my best to tread the Path; yet when I see you, I lose myself; I do not know where I am!" It is impossible to appreciate this qawaali song without understanding the depth of the meaning of the words. They are full of love; it is the language of the heart.

Another couplet sung by Habib Qawaal was:

Whoever is struck by this disease of separation from the Beloved never feels rested;

He is always restless like a fish out of water, but he cannot complain.

And:

In the court of the Perfect Master,

Wavering faith has no place.

Explaining that couplet, Baba observed:

It is not easy to take me as the Avatar of the Age. It requires great daring. Here in the meeting hall are the select few who dared to drink the Wine of love. Here there is no room for those that are shortsighted and weak of heart. Here one must have great daring; one must be prepared to carry one's head in the palm of one's hand.

It is no joke to love. If you have come to see this as fun, you will become fun yourself! The singer is saying:

I tried to see you a thousand ways, but I could not see you!

I see a beautiful face, eyes, nose, limbs, but I cannot see your Oceanic Form.
