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
