My hopes and wishes were accomplished when I attained the gate

awakened me, I have been taking His name only (wholeheartedly).

Oh Lord, through love, I have attained the colours(good values).
Oh Lord, through the (guidance of the) Peer, I have the colours.
Oh Imaam, with you, my mind is bound and my heart is stedfast.
