JIREWALA PAT MANDAVINE CHOK PURAVO

Pir Sadardeen

My dear momins, Prepare for the coming of our Lord

by laying the table (Pat)

decorating the floor with different colours

joyfully filling the vessels with water

and calling upon the four satis to help

with the preparation. ...1

Today the day seems auspicious for my beloved Lord

Has blessed me by coming to my house. ...Refrain

My dear momins, Everything seems glorious

And everyone's speech seems sweet

For my house (body) seems holy today

As I have seen my Lord today ...2

My dear momins, I am not concerned about others' opinions

of my Lord

For He has enlightened me

And I am immersed in His love ...3

My dear momins, I have heard Him with my ears and seen Him

with my eyes.

And have now enslaved myself to Him for eternity

So, O my Lord, forgive my sins

I beseech you and fall at your feet ...4

My dear momins, Associate yourself with the Imam

And understand (take it to your heart)

Follow His Farmans and serve Him

So that you may achieve salvation ...5

My dear momins, Pir Sadardeen is requesting you to come

and drink

The drink that is sweetest of them all

(abe safa)

And reminds you to humble yourself to Imam

(fall at His feet)

And acknowledge Him ...6

O dear one, set up the table and fill the area around. Joyfully set out the vessel. Bathe and send for four happy brides, and greet the Master of the Resurrection, dear brother.

The house of worship seems lovely today. The fair company of saints and virtuous ones has entered its abode. The Lord Himself has entered the house of worship.

O dear one, some call Him Lord, some call Him Pure, some say He is to be called the Refuge. With spiritual awareness kindled, the whole congregation sits. May I be sacrificed to Him, dear brother.

JEERE VAALAA DHANRE GHADDEE
BY SAYYED MOHAMMED SHAAH

jire vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa
alee ma(n)i taa din kee balee haaree
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
par aatmaa upakaaree
re vaalaa vi(n)dit ved gaae gunn gitaa
so akall purush avataaree
re vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa....3

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
to bhav bhaye bhanjan haaree
re vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa....4

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
ye hay taranakee baaree
re vaalaa chott na laage us sa(n)t ku
jamaddaa rahyaa jakh maareeyaa
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
to jugaa jug sharann sadhaaree
re vaalaa jaagyaa bhaagye gur soh dev bhettyaa
to sayyed muhammed shaah karaaree
re vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa....6

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.

O living brother! Countless felicitations and good news to you as the Everliving has come in the form of the Imaam of the time(or at a personal level, He has entered your heart).

yaaraa hia sa(n)saar suneddo..........................7

O living brother! Peer Sadardeen teaches this ginaan which is the water of life. O friend! In the end this world will become deserted.

In this age(time,universe), the Lord has fashioned the earth and the heavens,
and has given (the promise during) the nine months in the mother's womb.
By considering the Imaam as a pure entity, worship (serve) Him,
the result of which you will attain the Vision and salvation.
O dear ones, do not consider the milk (symbol of worldly nourishment - pleasure
and food) as beautiful (although it may appear to be so). By consuming
such milk you will fall into chaos and confusion. Consider the blemish
(in this milk) as that of Aly and indeed it is that of the True Lord.

[Here the blemish in the midst of worldly pleasure and enjoyment,
symbolises the 'gnaan' i.e., knowledge and wisdom from the Peer,
and stands in contrast to the milk of worldly experience.]

The soul has made many family and other relationships (in this world).
The soul has come and fallen into chaos and confusion as a result.
The raw and unstable body and the physical form will collapse and fall.
The account (of it's deeds) will be in the hands of the Lord.

ejee an paannee naa parab jaare sukashe
taare stree rotaa mele baall ho

When the granary( 'parab') of food and water will dry out, the woman will cry
and abondon her child. The father and son will fight each other.
Such will be the condition of this false and difficult period.

taare sat dharamnu(n) thaayshe vahevaar ho
unnee aachaaree teeyaa(n) ubhaa raheshe

When the leaves (colours, influence) of the Lord will prevail,
there will be genuine connection (relationship) with the True Religion.
At that time people of lowly activities will stand there (in regrets)
while the true and genuine friends of the Lord will obtain their fruits.

ejee aal alee nabeejeenee ollakheene sarevajo

embraced by the light of the True Guide. When the True Guide
has embraced the believers, the Lord is present with them upon
every breath (always).

then you will attain the Light of the Lord.

ejee nur neeraakaar jaannajo, te aaj paratak dev kahevaay
tenne aap ichh-chhaaye upaavyaa, bhaai chaud bhavan soy......3

Know the Light (nur) to be formless, which today is called the Manifest
Lord (Imaam). He created out of His own desire, brother, the form and
structure of the fourteen universes.

ejee chaud bhavan chee(n)te karee, ane sarve rachyo tthaatth
paa(n)ch tatvano putalo, saaamee raaje ghaddeeyo ghaatt......4

He thought about the fourteen universes (in the cosmic mind)
and then created all of them in a pompous (glorious) manner.
The Lord, the Master formed many shapes including the idol of
the five essences (sense perceptions) - human body.

ejee saamee raajo sahuno daataar chhe, ane rojee no purann haar
jeenakee jesee keesmat kaheeye, teenku(n) tesaa deve daataar.5

and he is the Fulfiller of your livelihood and your basic needs,'rojee'.
Whatever is the form or nature of your luck, will be reflected in
what is provided to you.

considered true as per the teachings of the Guide.

ejee man to mahaa balva(n)t chhe, ane jodh joraavar jaann

The mind and it's desires are very strong forces, and indeed the
most powerful and offensive (they fuel greed and unwanted desires).
If one conquers the mind, he/she wins everything as the mind
inflicts loses upon loses.

has acquired abundant wealth (well being).

under control completely. Peer Sadardeen teaches that when that happens,
the light (enlightened soul) merges into light.

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

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?

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
