JOGI SO JO JUGAJUG JOGI

Pir Hasan Kabirdin

A true devotee (ascetic) is he who is always a devotee,
Others are only the wearers of earrings (a symbol of a devotee).
O devotee! The earrings of gold dangle in the ears (to make show of your being a devotee),
But a better earring (a symbol of a devotee) is a (sincere) mind, O devotee!
...1

A true devotee (ascetic) is he who is always a devotee, others are only the wearers of earrings (a symbol of a devotee).
My (sincere) mind is the earring, my body is the lake,
Within me I have applied the ash (a symbol of renouncement of the world).
I have renounced the world from within my heart.
O devotee!
A true devotee (ascetic) is he who is always a devotee.
...2

The frail body depends on the breaths (of life),
It is like the water filled in an earthen vessel. O devotee!
A true devotee (ascetic) is he who is always a devotee.
...3

When the vessel breaks all the water will flow away,
This body has done nothing. O devotee!
A true devotee (ascetic) is he who is always a devotee.
...4

Beware, beware, O great devotee and my brother!
The time has come when you must destroy all sins. O devotee!
A true devotee (ascetic) is he who is always a devotee.
...5

Smilingly and playfully, the Lord entered the city (heart of a devotee),
He is a devotee who faces the time (i.e. He who is aware of the short span of life). O devotee!
A true devotee (ascetic) is one who is always a devotee.
...6

Pir Hasan Kabirdin says in the Ginan which is pregnant with meaning: "It is in this period (of Imamat) that the Lord will ride and proclaim (His spiritual rule over the world)." O devotee!
A true devotee (ascetic) is one who is always a devotee, others are only the wearers of earrings (a symbol of a devotee).

JIRE RAAJAA SANT TANNE MUKH MAAR NA HOVE
BY PEER KUTUBDEEN

Historical Background:

This geenaan was composed by Peer Kutubdeen, who lived in Gujraat in the times of King Kamal.

King Kamal was a very learned personality, well versed in theosophy, science and various fields
of art. One of his main hobbies was to invite learned gurus, philosophers to his court and hold
discussions on various subjects. People from far and wise used to attend this court where such
discussions were held at a very high academic level.

The story goes on that once a guru came to his court and fell in love with the Queen's maid, who
incidently was as pretty as the Queen herself. Taking advantage of his position, he ran away with
his maid, thinking that she was the Queen herself. When the King came to know about this, he
became very furious, and from thereon lost all his trust insuch gurus. Such was his anger and rage
that he ordered all the gurus should be killed.

Such a mass execution was the talk of the country, especially when it came from King Kamal.
In this confusion and disarray, many of them were killed, some fled the land and others changed
their attire to mask their identity.

When Peer Kutubdeen came to know of this, he in the guise of a peasant singer came into the
King's palace one evening, and recited this geenaan which is a response to this drastic measure of the King.

The story goes on that the King was really touched by this geenaan, apologised for his inadvertant
behaviour and withdrew his order of mass executions of the gurus.

jeere raajaa sa (n)t tanne mukh maar nahove
maar hove to sa (n)t kaisaa
gur vinaa gnaan kaisaa kahi-e
saheje khaatt ke jay saa
dhoree udd ma ka (n)dho bhaar vai ne chhutto
aagall maarag vasmaddo dise jeere raajaa dise
baare megh varase jo jal bhareaa,
so ann-gaareo nir na peeje re.....................................1

O king! a saintlty person ('sant') should not permit any curse from his mouth, and if he curses others,
how can he be regarded as a saint?
How can one speak of real 'gnaan' (knowledge and wisdom) without the Guide? It is as if a proper
bed were like a humble cot.
O bullock, do not turn your head, but bear the burden, so that you may find release. The way
ahead looks rough, O king, looks rough. The rain may fall outside and bring a full supply of water,
but do not drink unfiltered water. [Do not accept all knowledge but be discriminative about the kind
that you accept.]

jeere raajaa ek ratan tamane amulakh laadho,
tene jatan kareene raakhee je
vast joine vepaar-j keeje
pann jann jann haath na deeje ..............dhoree................2

O king! you have found one precious gem, a gem which you are to preserve carefully. Examine
your goods and then do business, but do not give them to all and sundry to handle.

jeere raajaa kaache ku (m)bhe neer na raheve
supaatr dekhee daan deeje
kheer khaa (n)dd geerath amrat bhojan
sa (n)t tanne mukhe deeje...................dhoree.................3

O king! water will not stay in the unbaked earthen pot, so give arms to those who are worthy of
holding them. Milk, sugar, ghee, nectar and flour are the food which is served to the real saints.

jeere raajaa kaayaa chhe ku (m)po ane man chhe kasturee
tene satpa (n)th nu ddhaa (n)kann deeje
kabahee kabahee aisaa vaae-j vaai-se
to naam saaheb jeeko leeje.................dhoree.................4

O king! the body is the jar and self (mind,heart) is the musk, so seal them with the lid of the
True Path (so that they may not be corrupted from the world). At times strong winds (of passion
and rage) will blow, at that time invoke the name of the Lord.

jeere raajaa duniyaa hai do deen kaa pekhannaa
so duniyaa dekhee mat bhulo
duniyaa nee sa (n)g je jeev bhulyaa
te fari fari duniyaa maa (n)he julyaa.........dhoree...............5

O king! the world is a two day spectacle, so do not be led astray by gazing at it. For the souls
are led astray by the company of the world, and revolve again and again within it (in constant rebirths).

jeere raajaa paai re amraapuree kaa (n)i ye gamaavo
kamall chi (n)t tthor-j raakho
geenaan ke bhi (n)tar jo ras paayaa
so hete kareene chaakho......................dhoree...............6

O king! once you find the everlasting abode, why lose it. O Kamal, keep your attention fixed,
and taste with love the delight you have found in the teaching.

jeere raajaa kahet sayyed kutbudeen
saa (n)bhallo kamal rajaa
gur jee kaa kahevaa keeje
sone rupe kaa mi (n)dar chunnaayaa
upar chhaajaleeyaa kem dee je...............dhoree................7

O king! Peer qutbuddin says: listen King Kamal and do what the Guide has commanded. His abode
is fashioned with gold and silver, why have a thatched roof (worldly goods, pleasure, lust) over it.

JEM JEM JUGTASU PRIT KAREVA

Pir Sadardeen

O brother, if you love our Lord with devotion,

the darkness will be away from your heart.

If you do not remember the Lord,

You have lost this life on earth. ...1

Those without service to the Lord

Are on the wrong path and will not meet our Lord. ...2

Those lured by this dreamland and enjoying this deceipt

have lost their real senses. ...3

O brothers, do good deeds and remember our Lord,

For that you will have ample reward. ...4

O brothers, if you will remember our Lord's name

then our Lord Shah Islamshah will help you

and give you exalted position. ...5

Says Pir Sadardeen, O my Lord, our services are very few,

and we are full of sins, so please help us. ...6

JEM JEM JUGATSU PREET KAREVAA
BY PEER SADARDEEN

ejee jem jem jugtasu(n) preet karevaa

As your love (for the Lord) increases through worship
(or in this world), your night (state of darkness of
ignorance and doubt) will end.

Protector and Provider regularly, have wasted this precious

The ones who are deficient in their deeds (or ritual duties),
have forgotten (strayed away) from the house of the Lord,
and indeed the house of the Imaam. Therefore they will not
have the (exalted) gathering with the 'gurnar' (Imaam and peer).

ejee enne sapanaatar je jeev bhulyaa bhaai je jeev raachyaa
bhaai mat tinu ne haraai jee.................................4

raachyaa - to be pleased

The souls that have forgotten (engrossed themselves) in this dreamlike
illusory existence and are satisfied and pleased with it, brothers,
have lost the (benefits of the invaluable) advices.

ejee karo karannee kuchh samar lenaa
to palatra hoise bhalaai jee.................................5

Perform good deeds so that you may take along with you
something of the provision for the hereafter which will
become very pleasant and rewarding as a consequence.

ejee naam parsaade shaah haatheeddu(n) dese
tthaam dese seeree-e islaam shaah jee........................6

Through the blessings of (the remembrance of) the name,
the Imaam will offer His hand (assistance). And indeed
Sree Islaamshaah will provide the (exalted) abode.

ejee geenaan amee mahaaras bolyaa gur sohdev
aagam levo vichaaree........................................7

This geenaan which is full of sweet juice and nector and is
the water of life, is said by the Guide Peer Sadardeen.

JEERE VAALAA DHANRE GHADDEE
BY SAYYED MOHAMMED SHAAH

jire vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa

re vaalaa ghar aa(n)gann maaraa pavitra keedhaa
moro jeev janam sadhaaree
re vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa....1

jire vaalaa - dear brothers
balee haaree - offering, sacrifice
sadhaaree(sudhaaree) - improve

Dear brothers, happy and glorious was the momemt when the Saint(Guide) visited me.
I offered sacrifices to Ali on that day. Brothers, this made my house and it's precinct
holy and improved the condition of my soul(elevated it).
Happy was the moment when the Saint(Guide) visited me.

jire vaalaa jaan ajaan bhaye kirataar th
saadh sabhaa sukh kaaree
re vaalaa paaras parshe, lohaa rang palatte
to jag mag jot ujaaree
re vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa....2

saadh - enlightened person
sabhaa - gathering; (morning?)

Dear brothers, knowingly and unknowingly, I embraced the Creator. In the company
of the enlightened person I experienced peace and joy(was transformed). Brother this
was in a manner of the philosopher's stone transforming the colour of iron.
The twinkling and flashing of the Light uplifted(enlightened) my mind.
Brother, happy was the moment when the Saint(Guide) visited me.

jire vaalaa adham odhaarann sa(n)t sadhaarann

adham(adharmee) - irreligious, impious and sinful person
odhaarann - to liberate
akall - incomprehensible
purush - male personality

Dear brothers, He(the Guide) liberates the ignorant and sinful and improves
the pious saints i.e., He elevates other souls. Brother, this is mentioned in the
sacred literature and the Gita also sings about this virtue. This male personality
(the Imaam) is indeed an incomprehensible manifestation.Brother, happy was
the moment when the Saint(Guide) visited me.

jire vaalaa sa(n)t charann raj sureenar ichhe
dharam raaha sardhaaree
re vaalaa naav rupe jug taarann karannaa

charann raj - clay at the feet of
dharam rahaa - the path of religion
sardhaaree(sardaaree) - leadership
naav rupe - in the form of a boat
bhav - age, time
bhay - fears, anxieties
bhanjanhaar - remover of, breaker of

Dear brothers, the pious momins desire even the clay at the feet of the Saint(Guide).
He is indeed the leader of the Path of religion. Brother, in the form of a boat He takes
us across the ocean(of material existence) and all the fears and anxieties of the age
are removed under His protection.
Brother, happy was the moment when the Saint(Guide) visited me.

jire vaalaa or upaay nahi hay taran ko

re vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa....5

or upaay - no other remedy
jakh maareeyaa - to become powerless
jamaddaa - agent of death

Dear brothers, there is no other remedy for the salvation of your souls. This is the only
means of crossing over(the ocean of material existence). The head of the saint is not
burdened by the thoughts of death because the agent of death becomes powerless
against the Light of the Guide which makes the person immortal.
Brother, happy was the moment when the Saint(Guide) visited me.

jire vaalaa hari gunn sa(n)t sadaa sir more

Dear brothers, the saintly person always bows his head(in aknowledgement) of the
praises of the Lord. This self surrender to the higher will improves until immortality is
achieved. Brothers, this happens when good fortune arises and you are embraced by
the Light of Peer Sadardeen(the Guide). This is a (timeless) promise given by Sayyed Mohammed Shaah.
Brother, happy was the moment when the Saint(Guide) visited me.
