HAM DIL KHALAQ ALLAH SOHI VASEJI

Pir Shams

Allah, the Creator of eternal nature dwells in the hearts of all;

He is the same Allah. ...1

Listen, O Mullah and O Kazi,

Who is the Creator of this universe?

He is the same Allah. ...2

It is the same clay from which everyone has been created.

Whether he is Hindu or Musalman;

The Creator is the same Allah. ...3

A Hindu is he who visits sixty-eight shrines,

A Musalman is he who visits a Mosque;

He is the same Allah. ...4

Neither a Hindu nor a Musalman recognizes my Lord.

For He is everpresent but is concealed from these physical eyes.

He is the same Allah. ...5

My mind becomes Musallah (the carpet for praying)

And Allah become my Kazi (one who lends the prayers)

My body becomes the Mosque.

Within this Mosque I perform the prayers.

How would ignorant people understand my way of praying?

He is the same Allah. ...6

Momin is he who knows the secret of self.

And follows the path shown by divine knowledge.

He is the same Allah. ...7

There is everything in divine knowledge.

Through this knowledge and meditation seek thy Lord,

Says Pir Shams, Listen to me my brothers, how one can achieve salvation without being a true momin.

He is the same Allah. ...8
