Verse 41 - Ranjha chides the Mullah

Unperturbed by the Mullah's diatribe, Ranjha continues to chide him. He mocks the Mullah for his greed, suggesting that he benefits from the death of his congregants, savoring the delicacies that are served at funerals. He accuses him of using the Sharia as a shield and masking the misdeeds of the wealthy and the powerful. Finally he reproaces the Mullah for his inhospitable behaviour; a mosque is supposed to be a sanctuary but the Mullah, instead of welcoming travelers, commands them to be on their way.
