Inspiring detailed commentary on voluntary poverty and free man, followed by an exposition of the mysteries of Islamic laws and sufic perceptions is given. He laments the dissention among the Indian as well as Muslim nations. Mathnavi Musafir, is an account of a journey to Afghanistan. In the Mathnavi the people of the Sob'ha Sarhat region, (Afghans) are counseled to learn the "secret of Islam" and to "build up the self" within themselves because they are a great righteous people.[1] The title has also been translated as What then is to be done, O nations of the East.
