Translation of Ved vachan gur tanna

Ved vachan gur tanna

Eji Ved vachan Gur tanna,
te samjo saachaa soi;
saach vinaa nahi aavse,
kuddaa na paave koi 1

O momins! Understand as truth the scriptural speech of the Guide. Without the truth he will not come and the wicked ones do not attain anyone.

Eji Kudde Shaah na paayaa,
vali saachaa Satgur jaann;
ved vachan Satgur tannaa,
te ride raakho parmaann 2

O momins!The wicked ones did not attain the Imam, whereas the truthful ones understood the True Guide. Firmly retain the scriptural guidance of the True Guide in your hearts.

Eji Kahiyaa Gurjinaa maane nahi,
ane na maane keni vaat;
te eklaa rehese vegalaa,
Gurji nahi sangaat 3

O momins!They do not heed to the words of the Guide and indeed do not follow any other advice. They will remain alone neglected without the Guides company.

Eji Jamaat gatt thaapnaa kare,
tiyaan anek jiv male sansaar;
tiyaan koek Narne jaannse,
baaki sarve duniyaa vevaar 4

O momins!Where the Jamat establishes the Ghat Paat ceremony, there numerous souls meet. There only a few recognize the Imam, the rest are tied up with wordly matters.

Eji Naat vevaare sahu male,
ane na jaanne sat-ni vaat;
paaval piye sahu sarkhaa,
pann Gurni na jaane dhaat 5

O momins!All meet their friends and relatives while not understanding the matters of truth. All of them partake of the Abe Safa in the same manner, but do not know the essence of the Guide

Eji Gatt pujaa koi virlaa jaannese,
ane kunbh jalno chhe naam;
visav kunvaari aavi pise,
parnne tribhovar shaam 6

O momins!Only a few courageous ones know the worship of the Gat Paat ceremony and what the significance of the pot (kumb) is. The virgin of the universe (the purified soul) will come and drink and weds the Lord of the three worlds (obtains the deedar) as a result.

Eji Bibi Fatmaa te kahiye,
vali visav kuaari jaann;
Shaah farmaane gatt thaapiyaa,
bhanne Pir Shamsdin nirvaann 7

O momins!We regard Hazart Bibi Fatima as the virgin of the universe. Pir Shams teaches with conviction that the Ghat Paat was established by the command of the Imam.
