HAM DIL KHAALAQ ALLAH SOHEE VASEJEE

BY PEER SHAMS



ejee ham dil khaalaq, Allah sohee vasejee,
     jene kaayam kudarat chalaai..................ebhee allah.....1

In our hearts, resides Allah the Creator; the same Lord Allah who establishes 
and sustains the everlasting nature and creation..He is indeed the Lord.


ejee sun be mullaa, sun be kaajee,
     e sesht kenne rachaai........................ebhee allah.....2

Listen to me, O you priests and judges! (tell me), 
who has created this universe?.........He is indeed the Lord


ejee isare maattee maa(n)hethee, saaree duniyaa neepaai,
     isame konn hindu, konn musalmaan.............ebhee allah.....3

The Lord has created the whole world from this dust, (so) who 
in it is a Hindu and who a Muslim?..........He is indeed the Lord.

ejee hindu sohee je addasatth tirath jaave
     musalmaan maseetaa...........................ebhee allah.....4

A Hindu is he who visits sixty-eight shrines (for pilgrimage) and a 
Muslim is the one who goes to a mosque.....He is indeed the Lord


ejee mere shaahku hindu na jaanne musalmaan na buje,
     shaah betthaa nira(n)jan hoi.................ebhee allah.....5

Neither a Hindu, nor a Muslim knows or recognise my Lord (Hazar Imaam). 
My Lord resides (in this world) as the Pure and Holy (unaffected by the guiles 
of the world - niranjan means without collyrium or without any dimensions).

By performing external rituals only without the Guide one cannot know the Lord.


ejee man meraa musallah allah meraa kaajee
     kaayaa hameree maseetaa......................ebhee allah.....6

The mind(heart) is my prayer mat, the Lord is my judge (He is both the witness 
and the judge of my supplications and prayers to Him), and my body is the mosque 
(a sanctuary, a Jammat Khaanaa from where I offer my 
prayers to Him)..............He is indeed the Lord


ejee a(n)dar baytth me namaaz gujaaru(n),
     murakh kiyaa jaane taa-et hamaaree...........ebhee allah.....7

I sit within my inner sanctuary and offer my prayers. How would fools know
(the nature of) my worship?....He is indeed the Lord


ejee aave to rojee nahee to rojaa,
     esaa esaa dhi-aan mere saahebjeesu(n) dharanaa..ebhee allah..8

If I get food, it is my sustenance (from the Lord), if not, it is my fast (submitting 
to the will of the Lord). This is the manner in which you should  concentrate 
on my Lord(i.e. devote and submit yourself to Him)............He is indeed the Lord


ejee moman sohee jo sab maram-j jaanne,
     elam rahaasar chalannaa......................ebhee allah.....9

The true believer is he who knows all the (spiritual) mysteries and follows the 
path of knowledge(and understanding)...He is indeed the Lord.


ejee ghyaan dhiyaan maa(n)he sarve sudh paai,
     khoj khoj kar milanaa........................ebhee allah....10

All understanding is gained through knowledge and remembrance. 
By constant search one can attain (the real purpose of your life - reunion 
with your Creator)............He is indeed the Lord.


ejee boliyaa peer shamsh, sunno moraa bhaai
     peer beenaa paar keeu(n) tarannaa............ebhee allah....11

Peer Shamsh says: "Listen to me my brothers! How can you cross (the ocean 
of material existence safely) without a Guide...He is indeed the Lord.
