jo neermal karee peeyo nur....................................1

O momins! if you worship the Lord with conviction, then all sufferings and (spiritual)poverty will go away from you. Sins will disappear and holiness will prevail, if you drink of the NOOR (Light of the Imaam) after purification of self(by ritual action).

O momins! do not forget the Lord's name from the heart, and shun the attractions and the allurements of the world; Observe the four virtues(truth, faith, patience and remembrance) and shun the five vices(lust, anger, greed, attachment to the world and pride), then you will ride on the holy path.

kharaa maalam jaah-j maa(n)he,

saameenaa gunn jene radeh samaannaa,

jeevddo chaalyo tthaale haath................................15

O momins: you have held your belongings with a an attitude of possessiveness by saying to everything as "mine, mine", but at the time of departure from this worldly existence, nothing will have accompanied you.

ane bheeraa(n)te bhakit na hoy;
man melaa man paak hoiye,
to deedaar shaah kaa joy.....................................23

O momins: by concealing the truth(while knowing it), one cannot attain salvation and harbouring doubts, one cannot attain real worship. If the filthy mind becomes a pure one, then one can have the Vision of the Lord.

kudd kapatt je koi chhoddshe;
sarag vaaso te paamshe,

jevo dhan karpeene gher;
pelu laine paachhee aale,
jem sudaamaanee per..........................................27

gher - home
per - mode, way, manner

O momins: my Lord is such, who is greedy of wealth and returns homes(palaces). At first He takes from you and then returns to you, in the manner of his dealing with Sudaamaa. (Sudaamaa was a classmate of Lord Krishna and was extremely poor. Sudaamaa gives a handful of rice to Krishnaa and Krishnaa returns palaces).

eji saamee ddhropateenee lajaa raakhee,
jyaare dukh paddeeyaa re shareer;
pelo paatto sa(m)bhaareeyo,
ane pachhee pureeyaa cheer...................................28

O momins: who is this Lord whom you call mother and father? Your Lord indeed has the abode in Light(inside your heart). The source of the gracious bounty of light is one but the Lord has assumed many names(forms).

gur bheermaajee saathe huaa;
tetrees karodd jenne dev thaapeeyaa,

eji gur bheermaajee kahe tame sunno munivaro,
saameene srevo man ddhraddh karee;
jo aheeyaa desho to aagal lesho,
tame adheeraa kaa(n)i thaao veer.............................32

O momins: the Peer(Creative Light) says,"listen you believers, worship the Lord with the conviction of mind(heart). If you give here once, you will indeed receive ahead. Do not be half hearted in this matter.

peer bhanne sadardeen kahe peer hasan kabeerdeen,
evo geenaan veechaaree ne joy................................33

O momins: O lord you are indeed the Lord and You are the only Creator. There is no one else in this respect. Peer Sadardeen thus teaches and this is also said by Peer Hassan Kabeerdeen. They have made this observation after reflecting upon the Divine knowledge and wisdom(geenaans).
