Ok I have read through the whole thread, and here was my post of questions-




Am I right in saying that


quote 2-

"Ḏunīʼn▫ā murḏār kẖurḏanī gāfal havā▫e. Rahā▫o.

The world eats dead carcasses, living by neglect and greed. ||Pause||


Gaibān haivān harām kusṯanī murḏār bakẖorā▫e.

Like a goblin, or a beast, they kill and eat the forbidden carcasses of meat. "


murdar = corpse/dead body

haram = the "forbidden corpse"


= the world eats humans (metaphor?) + like a beast they eat meat killed in a ritualistic manner?


is that correct?


with regards to the first quote

"You kill living beings, and call it a righteous action. Tell me, brother, what would you call an unrighteous action?


You call yourself the most excellent sage; then who would you call a butcher?"


i saw this quote was discussed, but all that was said was that it was taken out of context from the entire verse, but i still don't understand how?



quote 3-

Rojā ḏẖarai manāvai alhu su▫āḏaṯ jī▫a sangẖārai.

You keep your fasts to please Allah, while you murder other beings for pleasure.


Āpā ḏekẖ avar nahī ḏekẖai kāhe ka▫o jẖakẖ mārai. ||1||

You look after your own interests, and so not see the interests of others. What good is your word? ||1||


= you keep your fasts to please allah, while you murder other creatures for pleasure?


i dont see how that can just be referrin to ritualistic/sacrificed meat?


unless you say that pleasure does not include for the purpose of eating?
