In this verse, the poet says that O Allah! Your authority over hearts is absolute. The greatest proof of this is that even a sinner and disobedient servant like me is singing Your praises. Despite my sins, You have given me the taufeeq to praise You, which shows Your mercy and control over my heart.
The poet acknowledges that the first and foremost duty of a human is to worship and thank Allah. However, Allah's blessings are so countless and His status so high that it is impossible for a weak human to fully discharge this duty. We can never thank Him enough for even a single breath.
The poet says that knowing Allah's true essence is beyond human capacity. Those who claim to know Him (Mahram) are as silent as those who don't know Him (Na-mahram), because once the secret of Allah's grandeur is revealed to someone, they are left speechless and cannot describe it in words.
For those who have tasted the love of Allah (like a Faqir/Gada), worldly wealth and royal robes have no value. They are content and happy in their humble rags (Kamli) because the spiritual satisfaction they get from Allah's love is far superior to any worldly kingdom.
The poet says that the fragrance of Allah's existence and His oneness acts like the morning breeze. Just as the wind reaches everywhere, the message of Allah's unity is spreading across the horizons. Nature itself testifies to His existence.
In this closing verse (Maqta), Hali praises his own style of poetry (as a way of praising Allah indirectly). He says that words written in praise of Allah have a unique effect; they go straight to the heart. Hali's simple and sincere style makes his Hamd stand out.
