JEERE VAALAA DHANRE GHADDEE

BY SAYYED MOHAMMED SHAAH

jire vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa
            alee ma(n)i taa din kee balee haaree
            re vaalaa ghar aa(n)gann maaraa pavitra keedhaa
            moro jeev janam sadhaaree 
            re vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa....1

jire vaalaa - dear brothers
balee haaree - offering, sacrifice
sadhaaree(sudhaaree) - improve

Dear brothers, happy and glorious was the momemt when the Saint(Guide) visited me.
I offered sacrifices to Ali on that day. Brothers, this made my house and it's precinct 
holy and improved the condition of my soul(elevated it).
Happy was the moment when the Saint(Guide) visited me.


jire vaalaa jaan ajaan bhaye kirataar th
            saadh sabhaa sukh kaaree 
            re vaalaa paaras parshe, lohaa rang palatte
            to jag mag jot ujaaree 
            re vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa....2

saadh - enlightened person
sabhaa - gathering; (morning?)

Dear brothers, knowingly and unknowingly, I embraced the Creator. In the company 
of the enlightened person I experienced peace and joy(was transformed). Brother this 
was in a manner of the philosopher's stone transforming the colour of iron. 
The twinkling and flashing of the Light uplifted(enlightened) my mind.
Brother, happy was the moment when the Saint(Guide) visited me.


jire vaalaa adham odhaarann sa(n)t sadhaarann
            par aatmaa upakaaree 
            re vaalaa vi(n)dit ved gaae gunn gitaa
            so akall purush avataaree
            re vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa....3

adham(adharmee) - irreligious, impious and sinful person
odhaarann - to liberate
akall - incomprehensible
purush - male personality

Dear brothers, He(the Guide) liberates the ignorant and sinful and improves 
the pious saints i.e., He elevates other souls. Brother, this is mentioned in the 
sacred literature and the Gita also sings about this virtue. This male personality
(the Imaam) is indeed an incomprehensible manifestation.Brother, happy was 
the moment when the Saint(Guide) visited me.

jire vaalaa sa(n)t charann raj sureenar ichhe
            dharam raaha sardhaaree
            re vaalaa naav rupe jug taarann karannaa
            to bhav bhaye bhanjan haaree
            re vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa....4

charann raj - clay at the feet of
dharam rahaa - the path of religion
sardhaaree(sardaaree) - leadership
naav rupe - in the form of a boat
bhav - age, time
bhay - fears, anxieties
bhanjanhaar - remover of, breaker of

Dear brothers, the pious momins desire even the clay at the feet of the Saint(Guide). 
He is indeed the leader of the Path of religion. Brother, in the form of a boat He takes 
us across the ocean(of material existence) and all the fears and anxieties of the age 
are removed under His protection.
Brother, happy was the moment when the Saint(Guide) visited me.


jire vaalaa or upaay nahi hay taran ko
            ye hay taranakee baaree
            re vaalaa chott na laage us sa(n)t ku
            jamaddaa rahyaa jakh maareeyaa
            re vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa....5

or upaay - no other remedy
jakh maareeyaa - to become powerless
jamaddaa - agent of death

Dear brothers, there is no other remedy for the salvation of your souls. This is the only 
means of crossing over(the ocean of material existence). The head of the saint is not 
burdened by the thoughts of death because the agent of death becomes powerless 
against the Light of the Guide which makes the person immortal.
Brother, happy was the moment when the Saint(Guide) visited me.


jire vaalaa hari gunn sa(n)t sadaa sir more
            to jugaa jug sharann sadhaaree
            re vaalaa jaagyaa bhaagye gur soh dev bhettyaa
            to sayyed muhammed shaah karaaree 
            re vaalaa dhan re ghaddee jo din sa(n)t padhaaryaa....6

Dear brothers, the saintly person always bows his head(in aknowledgement) of the 
praises of the Lord. This self surrender to the higher will improves until immortality is 
achieved. Brothers, this happens when good fortune arises and you are embraced by 
the Light of Peer Sadardeen(the Guide). This is a (timeless) promise given by Sayyed Mohammed Shaah.
Brother, happy was the moment when the Saint(Guide) visited me.
