Aavaa Gur-nar Saamee Ne Srevee-e-Peer - Translation B

AAVAA GURNAR SAAMINE SREVIYA
Pir Satgur Sohodev

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

Well doth Pir Sadardeen say:

"My momins shall I hand on to Paradise and didar." ...5
