Eji Munivar esaa jo lonnie,
ane kare jo utam kaam;
saachaa saaheb to paamie,
bhaai puraa jo lije naam 1

A momin is the one who seeks such (a path) and performs exalted work; one attains the True Lord brother, if one takes the Name perfectly (with complete understanding).

ane haraf na kaaddho tame baar;
paanch chor-jo vaarie,
baavaa mango padaarath chaar 2

Eji Fikar jikar do maangie,
ane khameaa samo nahi koi saar;
pelo imaan avichal maangie,
baavaa mangie saahebji nun didaar 3

Eji Didaar munivar maangie,
jo imaan hove saach;
jibh radeh thi juthun na bolie,
jo man hoe maanhe thi paak 4

Eji Imaan saaheb sun raakhie,
ane fir mangie meher;
imaan vonnaa ukhadddi gayaa,
te fari nahi aave gher 5

Maintain faith in the Lord (Imam) and then pray for Mercy. Without faith many have been uprooted. They will not return to the House.

Eji Ghar evaa lonnie,
jiaan imaan paaie saach;
preme prite aaraadhie,
ane mukhe na kahiey mar 6

Seek such Houses where real faith is attained. Worship with love and devotion and do not curse anyone by speech.
