HUN RE PIYAASI PIYAA TERE DARSHANKI

Sayyed Khan

I am so thirsty of your didar

please fulfil this expectation

I am thirsty and I adore You (I depend on You)

how come You do not worry about me?

This humble adorer has special personal services for You

(and yet) I do not know how will You turn to me?

O my sullenly cross Lord ...1

Please listen to my prayers O my Lord

do not stay incommunicative from your maid-servant

O Lord do grant my wishes

O I am greatly unhappy

If you grant me the wishes of my heart,

O the Beneficient One

I shall be most happy ...2

Like fish without water, how can I live without my Beloved?

I am giving up my life for my Lord (look at the fish)

it is so lonely without water

look how much it does, it wriggles and flounces out of uneasiness

(but) all its wriggling and flouncing do not help

because the fisherman does not take pity ...3

False is the love of the bumblebee

the didar of the Lord cannot be done this way

(the ways of the bumblebee)

false is the love of the bumblebee

it keeps on moving from bud to bud enjoying the nectar

like that the ones ignoble in character

the forgetful (and) blind

do not sacrifice their lives on their Beloved ...4

True is the love of the moth

the didar of the Lord can be done this way

true is the love of the moth

it sacrifices itself with joy and zeal over and over again

(look) how many moths sacrifice themselves over

just a single lamp ...5

I have sacrificed everything for the Beloved One (Lord)

we must offer the best of our possessions

to the Beloved One (Lord)

Please get me out of this ill-fortune

(I beseech) consider my prayers

be kind enough to keep us with You O Lord

please listen to my prayers ...6

The one who is didari will always wish this

(that) he will never leave this Lord to follow anyone else

the one who is a didari will always develop attachment

and will keep increasing in his love (for the Lord)

with everyday that passes

he will always remember the Lord

with full concentration of mind

these are the ones who get the didar of the Lord ...7

Please do not treat your orphan maid servant like this

(by keeping away from her)

If I have shortcomings please overlook them

I am your sinful maid servant

how come You do not worry about me?

I beeseech You to overlook my shortcomings O Lord

please do pay heed to my prayers ...8

We are nothing on our own we are called your maid servants

our Lord admires this (state) when one gets rid of one's ego

Such is the maid servant (of the Lord)

everyday his love for the Lord multiplies

he remembers the Lord with full concentration of mind

this is how one must sacrifice oneself ...9

We must keep ourselves to our Lord single mindedly

and enjoy that state with love

we must keep ourselves to our Lord single mindedly

and increase our love (for Him)

one who is able to sacrifice one's head for (His love)

he is the one who attains the didar of the Beloved One

(the Lord) ...10

There is nothing better than bond of love

do whatever pleases the Lord (for His love)

those who died out of such love for the Lord

such have died well

do good deeds and the Lord will give you salvation ...11

O Lord I am your sinful slave

please consider my worship for You

My Lord consider it to be joyful O friends

with the mercy of the Lord says Sayyed Khan

all our difficulties are vanquished ...12

HU(N) RE PEEAASEE PEEAA TERE DARASAN KEE MEERAA - SAYYID KHAN

ejee hu(n) re peeaasee peeaa tere darasan kee,

aas puraavo, peeaa more man kee.

hu(n) re peeaasee aas toree,

tu(n) chee(n)taa moree keeu(n) naa karo;

kheejamat khaas khavaas toree, rutthaa saaja(n) keeun pheero jee..1

I thirst, o Beloved, for a vision of You. Fulfil, o Beloved, the hope of my heart. I thirst in hope of You, so why have You no care for me? You receive most special service, so why, dear Friend, do You turn away in anger?

ejee suno mere ka(n)th, kaheaa meraa keeje,

mujh naaree su(n) abolaa, iu(n) na raheeje.

karo karo ka(n)th kaheaa hameraa, ham dukhee re doeleeaa;

sureejan man nee aas puro, to ham sukhee re soheleeaa jee.........2

Listen, my Consort, and do as I say. Do not remain so aloof from me, your wife. Do, my Consort, do as I say, for I am wretched and sorrowful. Lord, fulfil the hope of my heart, then I shall be glad and joyful.

ejee jal binaa machhalee, so peeyaa bin kiyu(n) raheve,

peeyaa jee ke kaaranne, so jeevaddaa deve.

jal binaa machhalee huee ekelee, dekhe kiyu(n) taraphadd mare;

taddaphadd kude kuchhu na chaale, meher maachee naa kare jee......3

Look at the fish out of water. How can it live without the Beloved? For the Beloved's sake it offers its life. Out of water the fish is lonely: see how it twitches in death. But its writhing and leaping are of no avail, and the fisherman shows it no mercy.

ejee jutthee re preet bhamar kee kahee-e,

peeaa jee kaa darasan, eeu(n) nav lahee-e.

jutthee re preet bhamar kee kahee-e,

jo kaleeaa kaleeaa ras let hay;

tem kireeaa naa heennaa gaaphal a(n)dhaa,

so peeaa par jeev na det hay jee..................................4

False love, one may say, is like the bee's. The vision of the Beloved is not attained in this way. False love, one may say, is like the bee's, who takes nectar from one bud after another. Such are those without good deeds, the heedless and blind, who do not sacrifice their lives to the Beloved.

ejee saachee re preet pata(n)g kee kahee-e,

peeu jee kaa darasan eeu(n)kar lahee-e.

saachee re preet pata(n)g kee kahee-e,

jo ulatt ulatt a(n)g det hay;

ek deepak kere kaaranne, so kaheen pata(n)g jeev det hay jee......5

True love, one may say, is like the moth's, for thus is the vision of the Beloved attained. True love, one may say, is like the moth's, who tumbles down to sacrifice its body. For the sake of a single lamp, many moths sacrifice their lives.

ejee hamare peeaa par sabahee vaareeaa,

peeaa mukh deeje vasat peeaareeaa.

evaa var pher utaar ddaalo, kuchhuk bolannaa man dharo;

dayaa kareene saamee raakho am ne,

evaa venn maaraa chee(n)t dharo jee...............................6

Let all be sacrificed to my Beloved, for everything that is dear should be offered to Him. Get rid of this delay and prevarication, and decide to say something at least. Be merciful, o Master, and preserve me, and pay attention to these words of mine.

ejee deedaaree hove so esaa chaahaave,

saaheb jee ku(n) chhodd-kar or ku(n) na dheeaave.

deedaaree hoy so dil baa(n)dhe, din din adhakaa neh dhare;

ekaman ho-kar naam leve, peeu kaa darasan so kare jee.............7

He who desires the vision should wish not to pay attention to anything other than the Master. He who would have the vision attaches his heart to Him, increasing his love day by day. Through invoking His name in singleness of mind, he achieves the vision of the Beloved.

ejee yateem daasee su(n) esaa na keeje,

maaraa avagunn hoy so gunn karee leeje.

hu(n) re aparaadhann daasee toree,

tu(n) chee(n)taa moree keeu(n) na karo;

maaraa avagunn hoy to gunn karo saamee,

evaa venn maaraa chee(n)t dharo jee...............................8

Do not behave thus to this orphan handmaiden. If I have faults, then make them virtues. Though a sinner, I am Your humble slave. Why do You not care for me? If I have faults, then make them virtues, o Master, and pay attention to these words of mine.

ejee nahee(n) kuchh hove, so daasee kahaave,

apane saaheb jee ku(n) esaa bhaave.

nahee(n) kuchh hove so daasee kahaave,

nit utth adhakaa neh dhare;

ekaman ho-kar naam leve, eeu(n)karee jaalo deh re jee.............9

It is by becoming nothing that one is called a handmaiden. Thus one pleases the Master. It is by becoming nothing that one is called a handmaiden, ever arising to increase her love. Through invoking His name in singleness of mind, this is how you should destroy bodily attachments.

ejee ekaman thaee saaheb jee su(n) rahee-e,

hete su(n) rang esaa lahee-e.

hekamanaa thaee rahee-e saaheb jee su(n), chaaho ghannero keejee-e;

parem upar sees deve,

to peeyaa kaa darasan so kare jee................................10

Through becoming single in mind, dwell with the Master. Through love, such joys are attained. Through becoming single in mind, dwell with the Master, and feel intense love. He who sacrifices his head for love attains the vision of the Beloved.

ejee parem ta(n)tav jesaa na dekhu(n) koee,

saaheb reejhe karee-e bee soee.

pareme moheaa je muvaa, teno bhalo jeeveo sa(n)saar re;

karatap aachhaa keejee-e, to saaheb la(n)ghaave paar jee.........11

I see no reality to match that of love. Do that which pleases the Master. Those who die in devotion to love live their existence well. If you perform good deeds, the Master will deliver you.

ejee ham gunegaar ba(n)daa bee teraa,

saar karo saaheb moree saveraa.

saar kidhee saaheb jee-e moree, ra(n)g raleeaa karo saaheleeaa

nar ne parasaade meeraa bhanne sayad khaan,

bhaagaa te dukh doheleeaa(n) jee.................................12

I am Your sinful creature. Take notice of me soon, o Master. My Master has noticed me, so rejoice, my friends. Through the grace of the Great One, Mira Sayyid Khan says: all sorrows and miseries have been put to flight.

O dear living ones, when you were in your mother's stomach, you had

the understanding of the 'Gnaan'(Divine knowledge and wisdom). Your head was in an upside down position with your legs over it. Such were the tribulations you endured during that period.

HO JIRRE PRANNI JIYARRE TUN GIRBHASTHAN VASANTTO

Pir Sadardeen

O man! When you were dwelling (nine months) in (your mother's) womb, you were wise enough at that time. You were held down (in such a state) that your legs were coiled up (and touching) to the forehead. You passed through such miseries. O man! You have to die so do not say: "This wealth is mine (and) mine." The mind is stuck to temptations and the soul is trapped in greed. At the last hour, everybody will leave you abruptly (because) you definately shall go nude. ...1

O man! You came to this world by making a pledge (to God), but (now) are feeling as if you would be unaccounted. Being a liar with the Lord, you started becoming selfish and greedy. ...2

O man! In the orchard of this world, there are fruits both ripe and unripe. Everybody picks up nice fruits, but my Lord (alone) knows the facts of small, big fruits, but picks up (only) the choicest fruits. ...3

(At the time of the last hour, man) keeps his hands smearing and sighing ??? (because his) tongue is locked. He groans profusely even then (he) does not remember the Lord. ...4

(At the hour, he) sighs with (voiceless) complaint (because) nobody comes to his rescue. The relative and family all assemble around him, even then the soul departs alone (from this mortal world). ...5

O man! (By this natural process, you must have understood that) you came (in the world) barefaced and shall return nude. (From cradle to grave) you played a lot more dramas. Pir Sadardeen advises: O devotees of the Jamat! The Lord's name is true. ...6

HO JIRE MARA HANSA

Pir Sadardeen

O my soul! (hansa) If you earn good deeds you shall be dear to the Lord. In meditation fix your Isme Azam at the meeting poit of the three veins on the forehead. ...1

O my soul! Of (divine) knowledge make the gun and of surati (deep communion) make the gunpowder. Thus fill in the gun the bullet of Ginan. ...2

O my soul! Pull the trigger of love with all your heart and thus fight with the flash of Isme Azam (shabda). ...3

O my soul! Take (tie) the shield of the Lord with patience (i.e. use the Lord as your shield) and with the sword of truth combat (the evil instincts). ...4

O my soul! In the citadel of nine gates (a body with nine openings, viz. two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, a mouth, an anus, and one opening for outletting urine) are fifty-two bazaars (fifty-two main nerves in the body) out of which some are asleep and some are quite awake (and are in communion with God). ...5

O my soul! In this citadel there is a damsel who is a virgin (mun). In spite of her being virgin she enjoys every charm (flirting with all types of desires). ...6

O my soul! In this creeper there are indrafal (a fruit). The bigger they grow the more bitter they become. ...7

...8

O my soul! Call for an expert (gunwant) gardener who will pull it (creeper) out of its very root. (The gardener here is Murshid Kamil, Imam-e-zaman). ...9

O my soul! On the edge of the flower (which is the soul itself here) are standing the five thieves (the five evil instincts) who abide not by the Farman of the Lord. ...10

O my soul! Pir Sadardeen teaches this Ginan. O my momin brothers rest alert. ...11

Sayyed Imamshah
With affection assemble, O my momins (Munivars i.e. the best of
ascetics) and from your mouths utter only truth.
Everybody see the deedar of God and O brother relinquish all
impurities and sins. ...1

Lave in the Ganges (formed by the assembly) of the followers of the
Lord (which is) the sanctuary and make your minds pure.
We attain to five matters (Panch padarath comprising of Verity,
Endurance, Forgiveness, Faith and Zikar i.e. repeating the name of
the Lord) if previously we possess on our credit the deeds of
religious merits. ...2

In the absence of previous deeds of religious merits how can we
procure, the true satpanth, the essence? Satpanth we procure
O brother! If the heart is pure. ...3

Holy is the name of the Lord, we should repeat it with every
inhalation and exhalation. Away search him not (He is) in the very
heart. He dwelleth as in the Champa flower there is the fragrance....4

In every hair on the body my Lord abideth and (between Him and us)
there is not a gap of but a hairbreadth (til.)
Comprehending this adore Hm that the Lord is manifestly sitting in
the heart. ...5

Utter truth and behave truthfully. Like truth there is no essence.
All the Vedas are based upon truth.
O momins! Land shall you across (this world) i.e. achieve
salvation. ...6

Relinquish not truth O my munivars! And parting with truth
partheth. There is the faith-like lamp with whose light
the Lord can be perceived. ...7

The night is brightened by the moon and the day is brightened by
the sun; likewise the body is brightened (enlightened) by the
faith. O brother its light falleth in all the four directions,
(Chawdishey: it is thus: the East, the West, the North, the South,
i.e. all around). ...8

The light of God abideth there at in which body is (filled) true
faith; him (i.e. one with firm faith) the Devlok (the denizen of
Paradise) bow down and eventually his abode is in Paradise. ...9

astonishment this essence that last is the boat of Kaljoog,
O brother, only a believing person shall get across i.e. achieve redemption. ...10
