HAM DIL KHAALAQ ALLAH SOHI VASEJI

Pir Shams

Allah the Ceator who hath created the lasting;

Nature lives within all hearts.

He is the creator...1

Listen O Mulla! Listen O Kazi!

Who has created this universe?

He is the creator...2

The earth is created from this dust,

Amongst those who is Hindu and who is Muslim?

He is the creator...3

Hindu is he who performs sixty-eight pilgrimages,

Muslim is he who goes to Mosque.

He is the creator...4

Neither the Hindu nor the Muslim knows my Lord,

for my Lord is omnipotent.

He is the creator...5

My heart is the praying-carpet, Allah is my Qazi,

And my body is the Mosque.

He is the creator...6

Within myself I offer my prayers,

What would the ignorant understand the secret of my worship?

He is the creator...7

What He gives I eat, otherwise I fast;

Such is the devotion to my Lord.

He is the creator...8

Momin is he who knows the secret of self,

And follows the path of knowledge.

He is the creator...9

Knowledge of everything is contained in religious understanding,

Seek it and you will find it.

He is the creator...10

So says Pir Shams, listen O my brother,

How would you attain salvation without a religious guide?

He is the creator...11
