SAKHI MAARI AATAM NA ODHAR

Pir Sadardeen

O the Saviour of my soul!
Be not separated from me.
Thou dwelleth in my temple (heart). ...1

Whilst remembering Thee my Lord!
In that excellent moment,
I forget all my griefs and sorrows. ...2

Whilst in meditation,
The wave of spiritual joy sprang
in my heart.
And brought me nearer to my Master ...3

To whom could I relate (the story of)
The pangs of separation,
Only a saint (who possesses that spiritual
knowledge) can guide me to contentment. ...4

Says Pir Sadardeen,
I have attained salvation by following Him,
He who is the Creator of the universe. ...5
