........praanneeddaa tu(n)..........1

You will reap according to what you sow, and that will happen in this world. Those who have reaped without sowing, show them to me says the Guide. O living one, do not be proud as many lakhs of crores have come and gone in this worldly passage.

ejee man seedhaa bhaaee man seedhaa,

........praanneeddaa tu(n).........2

Through single mindedness brother, conviction of the heart/mind is achieved. With such a mind they worshipped heartily. In such a straight course were the five pandavas, who worshipped religion heartily.

ejee pagmaa(n) te khu(n)che zeennee kaa(n)karee,

Under the feet pierce sharp pebbles and over the body it rains fire. The ruler of Ayodha did not feel the pains of these tribulations due to his loyalty to truth.

They used to wear clothes made of silk and had love for delightful food symbolised by rice pudding and sugar. (For the sake of truth) they were sold having bundles of grass tied on their heads. This was the plight of King Harischchandra, Queen Taaraarani and their son Roheedas.

ejee ddholeeye tallaaeeye ku(n)var podhha(n)taa,

.......pranneeddaa tu(n)...........5

The prince used to sleep on a comfortable bed and mattress and his body was touched by smoothness of silken mattress cover. This Roheedas slept on bedding made of grass. This was the son of a woman(the queen) who was given all the priviledges in life.

Peer Sadardeen made this plea. O my momin brothers remain intelligent. Without such physical mortifications no one has been able to get liberated. Then how will you get across this material existence.

OOTHI ALLAH NA GHURRE BANDA

Pir Shams

O slave of God! Wake up since God does not like you to sleep all night. Neither (you) care for soul, O slave! Nor prepare provision (for hereafter). The Lord loves only those who rise in dawn (for meditation). The hurries (special heavenly blessings) will not give their hands to those who do not rise at dawn. Such (lazy) will (later) repent, smearing their hands, just as a (lazy) farmer misses the sowing season....1

O servant! Your pillow (body) is lying on thorns (material desires). Looking at the red flowers (attraction of the world), do not lose (your) aim (for coming in the world)....2

The spinning woman has spun when people slept. She spun much cotton alone, thoroughly....3

Everybody will be illiterate and nobody in the world will understand. Each one would have the knowledge of (wearing) the clothes and dresses, but nobody will have the knowledge (of reality). Those who come wearing silken clothes would be worshipped as God. O Brothers! Beware in advance and consider these ten facts to be true. When the world is deprived of prosperity, love modesty like there are (all the) ten things, it will be an indication of the appearance of doomsday. Pir Shams, the darwish also imparts likewise: The time for the appearance of the Lord is matured .....4

UTH JAAG MAN MERA

Imam Begum

Wake up O my mind, why are you asleep
(surrounded by the world and cut off from religious truth)
This human form is a precious gem, why do you lose it (waste it)
Wake up...1

O you find this body and its traps (the material world)
very beautiful and fall in love with it
Why do you take pride in your material affairs,
Wake up...2

Thirty-five and twenty-five, sixteen and eight
you have come and gone eighty-four times
Have you not yet learned (of your purpose of life on this earth?)
Wake up...3

You have come and gone so many times
and having taken human form
Your Lord knows of all (your doings)
Wake up...4

O what do I tell you O my mind, are you not ashamed,
Diamonds, jewels and pearls (the best value of life)
You are wasting out of your ignorance,
Wake up...5

Remember your Lord every breath and be steadfast on truth
Your body, mind, concentration on Isme-Azam (bol) must be unitedly centered
on one point (in concentration, bandagi)
Wake up...6

When your breath starts from the naval (diaphragm)
It travels up the curved path (to the passage of the nostrils)
At the meeting of the ingla, pingla and sushumna passages
(which is said to be in the forehead at the base of the brain),
there is the tenth heaven (this point is said to be
the tenth heaven)
the concentration becomes stable,
Wake up...7

Twenty-one thousand and six hundred breaths
you loose in a day
What have you earned (at the expense of all these breaths?)
Wake up...8

So says Imam Begum listen
For the sake of the true teacher give up your vanity,
Wake up...9

Rise up and be awake (in remembrance and knowledge),
o my heart (soul), why do you fall asleep (in ignorance and forgetfulness)?
The human birth (opportunity) is very precious, then why lose it?

do not fall into (it's entrappings). Why do you take pride in the
undertakings (activities) of the world?

It is the focal point of the three force channels (ingala, pingla and sukhmannaa)
and the tenth (opening or eye) becomes stable.
Rise up and be awake....

[There are nine openings in our body viz two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, mouth,
anus and penis/vagina. The nerve curvature serves as the tenth opening where
Light is experienced.]

UGAMIA SOHI DIN ATHMIA

Sayyed Muhammadshah

The sun that rises sets; the flowers that blossom wither.

High buildings crumble, and all those who are born finally die.

O self! You are like a wasp going from one flower

to another

You are full of greed and you are tempted by the

worldly pleasures

Know that this world is a four day dream.

And you will finally return to dust ...1

The Kevda (sweet smelling flower) dries up

The water-wheel breaks

The oxen working on the water-wheel stops walking

And even the farmer leaves ...2

Millionaires and kings have passed away from this world;

And many millions have died

Those who have ruled and sat on high thrones

Have all mingled with dust ...3

The 'mind' is held tight by the temptations of the world

And goes astray (leaving Hazir Imam)

O wasp-like mind, where are you wondering to?

Remember that this world (maya) is futile ...4

All the children, all the cattle

All the mothers and the fathers have to be left behind

In the end the soul has to part alone

Only the meritorious and the evil deeds shall accompany (it) ...5

Sayyed Muhammadshah requests

O slaves of God! Come along with me (to Hazir Imam)

To benefit ourselves

The judgment (of our deeds) is in the hands of the Lord. ...6

UGAMIYA SOHI DIN AATHAMIYA

Sayyed Muhammadshah

The sun that riseth (undoubtably) setteth; that which blossometh (surely) withereth; the erected building crusheth down and that which is born dieth. ...1

Refrain: O wasp like mind thou art greedy thou hast been tempted by the temptations of the world. This vision is transient (lit. of four days). Ultimately one is destined to turn into dust.

The kevda (kind of fragrant tree) hath commenced drying up, water-wheel too is broken, the oxen (working the water-wheel) have stopped walking. (Even) tiller himself hath parted.

(All the above is allegorical. The Kevda is symbolised with the body. This means that the body has grown old. The water-wheel signifies the act of respiration, the oxen here mean the two legs, or Ingla and Pingla and the 'tiller', the soul). ...2

The millionaires and bearers of Chattra, i.e. Kings have passed away and many a million people have (likewise) gone away (died). Those who ruled and who used to sit in the balconies (of their lofty places) have all burnt to ashes. ...3

The 'mind' which is held tight by the temptations of the world goeth after other people (leaving Hazir Imam). O wasp-like mind thou hast wondered a lot. Remember that this world (Maya) is futile. ...4

Whose are the children, whose are the cattle (calfs), whose are the mother and the father? In the end the soul hath to part alone. Only the meritorious and the evil deeds shall accompany (it). ...5

Sayyed Muhammadshah requests: O slaves (of God) come along with me (to Hazir Imam) to benefit ourselves. The judgement (of our deeds) is in the hands of the Lord. ...6

OOGAMIYA SOHI DIN ATHAMIYA

Sayyed Muhammadshah

The sun that rises sets; the flowers that blossom wither;

the high places crumble to the ground and those who are born, die. O self! Who are like a wasp going from one flower to another, you are full of greed and you are tempted by the worldly pleasures. Know that this world is a passing thing ('char din' means four days and refers to the four physical stages of life, childhood, youth, middle age, old age.) and finally you will have to return to dust. ...1

The Kevda (sweet smelling flower) dries up, the water-wheel breaks, the oxen working on the water-wheel stops walking and even the farmer leaves. ('kevda' here refers to the body, 'water-wheel' to lifespan, 'oxen' to the act of breathing and the 'farmer' to the soul). ...2

Millionaire and kings have passed away from this world; and many millions have died. Those who ruled and sat on high thrones have all mingled with the dust. ...3

The 'mind' which is held tight by the temptations of the world goes after the other people (leaving Hazir Imam). O wasp-like mind thou hast wondered a lot. Remember that this world (maya) is futile. ...4
