HAM DIL KHALAQ ALLAH SOHI VASEJI

Pir Shams

Allah, the Creator of eternal nature dwells in the hearts of all;

He is the same Allah. ...1

Listen, O Mullah and O Kazi,

Who is the Creator of this universe?

He is the same Allah. ...2

It is the same clay from which everyone has been created.

Whether he is Hindu or Musalman;

The Creator is the same Allah. ...3

A Hindu is he who visits sixty-eight shrines,

A Musalman is he who visits a Mosque;

He is the same Allah. ...4

Neither a Hindu nor a Musalman recognizes my Lord.

For He is everpresent but is concealed from these physical eyes.

He is the same Allah. ...5

My mind becomes Musallah (the carpet for praying)

And Allah become my Kazi (one who lends the prayers)

My body becomes the Mosque.

Within this Mosque I perform the prayers.

How would ignorant people understand my way of praying?

He is the same Allah. ...6

Momin is he who knows the secret of self.

And follows the path shown by divine knowledge.

He is the same Allah. ...7

There is everything in divine knowledge.

Through this knowledge and meditation seek thy Lord,

Says Pir Shams, Listen to me my brothers, how one can achieve salvation without being a true momin.

He is the same Allah. ...8

HAMDIL KHALAK ALLAH SOHI VASEJI

Pir Shams

In the hearts of all of us resides the same God,

Who created and maintains the eternal nature

He is the same Allah ...1

Listen to me, O you mullah and kaji

Who created this world? ... Allah ...2

From this (the same) clay the whole world is made

In it who is a Hindu, who is a Muslim

The (creator of them all is) same Allah ...3

A Hindu is he who visits sixty-eight shrines

A Muslim (goes) to a Mosque

(In both of these places it is) the same Allah ...4

Neither a Hindu nor a Muslim recognises

my Lord (Hazar Imam). Who is the same Allah ...5

The mind is my mat, Allah is my Judge

My body (is) my Mosque,

(wherein I pray to the same Allah) ...6

Sitting within (my body) I perform prayer;

How would the ununiformed know my method?

(wherein I pray is to) the same Allah ...7

The food (if received of its own accord)

is a welcome maintenance

Otherwise a willing fast

Such should be concentration for your Lord ...8

The true believer is he who has the distinctive

knowledge

He follows the path guided by that knowledge ...9

All understanding is contained in the knowledge

and meditation

Meet (Allah) by searching, (and you will meet)

the same Allah ...10

Said Pir Shams, "O hear me, my brothers."

How to reach across safely (and get down safely

on the opposite bank) without (the help of)

the spiritual guide? (And to meet) the same Allah ...11

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
