O soul!
Thou art everpresent and everlasting, O my Lord!
But only a few live by Thy name. ...1
The true words must be understood.
O momins! Muhammad is the true prophet. ...2
O momins! Do not match wits with your Pir.
Live respectfully by the words of the Teacher
and do not undermine them. ...3
O momins! True believers will get salvation;
Whereas the inattentive ones will weep for
their failures. ...4
O momins! Even if one lives for a hundred years;
At the end one has to die. ...5
O momins! Says Pir Shams, 'The kind hearted',
very clearly that only that happens
which our Lord desires. ...6
