AYE RAHEM RAHEMAN

Imam Begum

O most Gracious and most Merciful; Bestow your kind mercy upon me now. ...1

When the self existence and posterity, mind, heart and honour, hopes, wishes and personal ego and the riches and wealth and everything belonging to one's self is submitted before Hazir Imam it becomes the real meaning of knowledge, and comes knowledge through knowledge. ...2

When with every breath, contribution is generously made it becomes the real meaning of sacrifice and bears fruit, sacrifice through sacrifice. ...3

When the presence of the Most Gracious Lord is felt everywhere and in every heart, glory becomes the real glory and brings glory through glory. ...4

Imam Begum says that my Pir is Hasanshah. And faith brings faith through faith. ...5

AAVO SAAMI RAJA

Pir Sadardeen

Welcome, O my Master, the King, the spiritual King. My heart is engrossed with your remembrance. ...1

O my brethren! What sort of palace should we build on hill-fort for the residence of our Master and what sort of plantation should we make to grow a beautiful garden therein? ...2

Do not be proud of your wealth: or your youth: O my virtuous "brethren-in-faith". ...3

O my brethren there were profit makers in this world, who earned their spiritual profit and passed away from us, and there are some amongst us who started making the same profit. ...4

O my brethren! Having well understood Him as the Supreme Being, serve and remember our Lord: and for that reason remain awakened during the night. ...5

O my brethren! Follow the path of truth in such a manner as the thread follows the course of the needle. ...6

O my brethren! Your guide Pir Sadardeen revealed such knowledge, sweetness of which sounds pleasant to our heart. ...7

If such a Lord we serve,

Then would we achieve His holy didar?

O Master! For Thee am I possessed with love,

With such a love am I possessed;

O sweet Master! With Thee am I fallen in love,

With Thee am I tied up with love. ...1

With such a Lord the souls

that have companionship and love;

They have renounced the world with their hearts,

O Master. ...2

Those who have curbed the five vices and have beheld

the glory of the Master of the four Yugs;

They shall attain the associateship

of the Assembly of the thirty-three crores, O Master.

(five vices are: Kam - Lust, Krodh - Anger, Lobh - Greed,

Moh - Temptation, and Madh - Pride). ...3

Such a one, the Commander (of the faithfuls) and Master,

From the West doth hail,

And the Pirs hath He commissioned,

Who have brought to our ears knowledge

and the sacred scriptures, O Master. ...4
