Kalmaa kahore momano

Kalmaa kahore momano,
tame mat jaao re bul;
raahaa Ali Nabi jiki saach hae;
e hovege sadhaa kabul 1

O momins! Recite the Kalima and do not forget. Only the path of Hazarat Ali and the Prophet is the true path. Those who walk on this path will always be accepted.

Eji Aal nabiu tamkun bhejeaa,
is duniaa ke bich;
nimaaj bandagi kalmaan hae,
eh hae niaamat chij 2

O brother! The progeny of the Prophet has been sent for you in this world. Prayer, Bandagi and Kalima are blessings.

baaki gaafal bhulaa gemaar 3

Eji Bin kalme bandagi kare,
te to bandagi suni saar;
te jem nit utth raahaa chalannaa,
aakhar ujadd vaas 5

O brother! The Bandagi without the Kalima is void, as if one treads a path daily but ultimately reaches a wasteland.
