its a sealed room but you can see in, because it has no walls just iron grills. i remember when i was young they use to let ppl look inside and i have seen whats in there. There are 3 black marks, 1, mohammad pbuh, 2 abu baker sidquee and 3 rd i think is omer farooq. and a 4 th for jesus. The room also have some old lamps and a bed and few curtins. AS i said in the old days the cops would not stop u from looking in and u can see preety clearly.
this is poetry. it is just the poet using a metaphor to explain his extreme love of Allah's Habib sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, it does NOT mean that he is saying he WILL do sajdah (because sajdah to ghair Allah is haram; and if it is done with niyyat of ibadah THEN it is shirk) to the Roza-e-Mubarak. It is a way of saying that though in his extreme love his heart may wish to do so, still, he will not as it is against shar'iat. You see, in ishq a person often loses control of his senses [hence he says, "issay deewanagi samajhooN"]. So, to sum up the aashiq is not advocating shirk he is just expressing the indescribable, blissful, agonies of love of the Prophet alayhisalatosalam which he has in his heart and which he hopes to quench by seeing the Roza-e-Mubarak. It is a love Wahabis and other members of the "everything is shirk brigade" are bereft of and do not know anything about. People like them who are devoid of ishq--e--Mustafa alayhisalatosalaam are the sort who have given islam a bad name and lead eventually to groups like al-qaedah.
As Hazrat Sultan al Arifin Sultan Bahu rahmatullah alayhi has said,
"Jis dil vich na ishq dee ratti, kuttay us toon changay, HU!"
(Jis dil mein mein ratti bhar ishq bhi na ho, aisay aadmi se to kuttay behtar hain)
And Mian Muhammad Bakhsh sahib rahmatullah alayhi has said about people like ThandayMazaq, and other wahabis,
Qadar nabi dee ay ki jaanan, duniya-daar kameenay
Qadar nabi dee jaanan walay so gaye vich Madinay!
(Yeh duniya daar kameenay jo hain, in ko Huzoor Paak alayhisalatosalam ki azmat ki kya khabar? Huzoor ki azmat o qadar jaan-nay walay tau Madina shareef mein araam farmaa rahe hain (yaani Sahaba e Karaam aur aap ki Ahle Bayt).)
Ala Hazrat has summed it up:
**
Jis mein ta'azeem-e- Nabi shirk Thehray
Aisay buray mazhab pe la'anat kejiyay!
