Perhaps the preacher feels jealousy because he often lies in the basin, but in a different manner, stemming from Farbahi.
This profound couplet is a sharp critique of hypocrisy. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that perhaps the preacher (Wazeez) feels jealous of Farbahi's grace. The line implies that while the preacher might frequent the pool, his presence or piety is merely superficial—a mere show, lacking genuine depth or connection. It speaks to the difference between outward appearance and true spiritual substance.
