ALAKH SREVO BANA HET DHARI

Pir Sadardin

O you believers serve God, the undescribable, with full submission, obedience and affection;

For the only source of our hope in His (Hazir Imam's) house.

...1

By searching and searching Pir has found the inner secret.

(The secret is that) The house of Hazir Imam is the true source.

...2

Moosa offered a feast to the Lord.

(And he) Moosa, cooked a great quantity of food, which took six months (to finish).

...3

Moosa began to prepare food and make a big collection of it;

And that was such a big collection which had no end or limit.

...4

Moosa could not recognize the unknown person,

When He came with a bronze begging a bowl in hand.

...5

Give, O Moosa, something in the name of the Lord,

I have come with a hope of receiving something.

...6

Moosa ordered his maid to give food to the beggar

The maid brought stale rice for the beggar.

...7

Moosa (then) himself sat quietly in deep meditation (of God)

(In it) He realized that it was the same person and the same bowl.

...8

If I had known the Lord would come, I would have spread silk as a carpet in the street,

(And) sprinkled sweet perfumes and scents of amber.

...9

(To persuade the Lord) Moosa himself went into the holy presence

of the Lord, "O Lord! (Please do come, otherwise) the food gets stale".

...10

The Lord said, "O Moosa, collect all the food near the water,

I will come at the late hours in the day".

...11

The Lord ordered Moosa, "Bring the food on the bank of the river".

...12

The Lord ordered the fish to eat all that food,

(And) The fish ate it (the whole lot of food) in a single morsel.

...13

The fish made a complaint of distress before the Lord,

"O Lord, not even one side of mine is filled, (and I am still hungry)".

...14

(How wonderful it is) That inside a dry rock is found a live insect with a green blade of grass in its mouth.

...15

In this sweetest Ginan, Pir Sadardin describes,

"Such is the wonderful display of the power of my Lord".
