Seems there are a few terms here worth defining first before anyone can understand the hidayath in itself:

(1) Faqeeri - what is general definition of faqeeri (he is defining it anyways in the book)

(2) Zaahir

(3) Baatin

(4) I think the Urdu word used here is "aaraasta" - if we can get definition it would be helpful to understand what this shaikh is saying as first hidayath about what is faqeeri

Faqeeri in this context probably means "the one whose heart is not attached to dunya".Now,a person may be rich from halal sources of income,this will not exclude him from definition of Faqeer unless his heart is involved in his money.I heard Ml Ashraf Sulemani ra saying " If a beggers heart is involved in his dirt worn out clothes,he is dunyadar ( materialist),on the other hand if a millionaire,s heart is not involved in his wealth,he is indeed Faqeer.
A person travelled long distances to meet khwaja Ubaidullah Ahrar ra.As Khwajja Ahrar ra was apparently
rich, the seeker got disapointed,and on meeting khwaja ra said:
"Na mard ast an ke dunya dost darad "
The one who loves dunya is not "a man"
Khwaja replied and responded by completing the verse,
" Agar darad barae dost darad
(and) if he loves dunya,He loves it for 'the sake of the BELOVED'
