O momins! do not sleep(be ignorant), remain awake (in Divine knowledge
and remembrance) while there is time. There is no time for sleeping(ignorance).
The time of death is approaching fast, pass your life in the company of the Guide.
You do not get born(in human form) always, and you will not return again
(in the present form). So recite(meditate or contemplate upon) the name of Ali,
recite Ali's name often O ignoramus creature. Bring your mind(your intellect) at
the Guide's feet(at His behest), bring your mind to the Guide's feet O ignoramus one.
Hence, the Lord will enable your night(dark times of ignorance) to pass away(in enlightenment).

O momins! you gave this entire promise when you were in the womb of your mother.
Then why do you forget this in your mind? The things that you have suffered a great
deal to attain(material wealth and pleasures), will not accompany you into the hereafter.
Remember the Lord at the abode of the True Guide (in Jamaatknaanaa everyday) who
will enable you to cross the material limits in a moment(at the right time).

mahaabal - great strength jodhaa - warriors

O momins! Arjuna and Bheem were warriors of great strength, even their days are over.
The one whose breath made the winds blow and whose cooking was done by the sun's rays;
even the sovereign (chakravati) king of such stature of Raavan,
was not spared by the (call of) death.

O momins! in the nine manifestations, the Lord destroyed nine demons.
The tenth demon is at your disposal(for annhilation). This Divine knowledge
and wisdom which is considered as full of spiritual nourishment, has been
scattered by Peer Hassan Kabeerdeen. It is now the time for the Lord (Imaam)
to mount His horse(in defence against the evil forces).
