Has the master sold the water after asking its value? Has the precious thing been sold cheaply, like in Joseph's story.

This powerful couplet questions the fundamental value and justice of human existence. The poet asks if a pearl, which represents immense worth, was sold for the paltry price of water. He then draws a parallel to the story of Joseph (Yusuf), questioning how such a noble soul could be sold so cheaply. It is a lament on the devaluation of true character and the unfairness of fate.
