TAJIO SANG KU SANGIA

BY PEER SADARDEEN

    tajio sang ku sangia, bhaai chhodio sang kusangare

Give up friendships or relations(of any kind) with those who have bad temperament
 or those who are bad(the prefix 'ku' indicates negative).


eji tajore tetaa taat ne, je hari gunn na gayare
    potaanaa prapanch pakhve, ane aape tatbar thaay re..tajio.....1

Give up your father(taat), if he does not sing the praises of the Lord; he praises
 himself and boasts about himself, and is egoistic.


eji aage juone pahelaaj hotaa, tene taat tajio tat kaall re
    thambh mahethi narsang pragatiyaa
    tene sambhaariaa pure vis vaas re.....................tajio...2

Long ago there lived a personality called Pahelaaj, who gave up his own 
father there and then(tat kaar); from the pillar (thambh) emerged Narsinh, who 
came to the help of Pahelaaj who had remembered Him in full faith.

Explanation
-----------

There once lived a great 'sant', saintly personality called Harnaakans. To reward 
his "bandagi", the Lord asked him as to what he wanted. And he responded by 
saying: "I should not be killed during the day or night, neither on this earth nor in 
water and without the infliction of any weapon". In other words he wanted to stay 
in this world as an immortal being. To fulfil his promises, the Lord bestowed upon him 
as per his request. Realising that he was beyond death, he began to misuse his power.

He had a son, who fortunately was very pious and religious. Right from very young 
age and notwithstanding his father's warning, he always said that he is going to pray 
to Allah. Harnaakans was furious with his son, and therefore decided to extinguish his Imaan.

He built an iron pillar and made it red hot and told his son that if you really have faith in 
him, than embrace this pillar and let me see if your Lord is going to help you. Pahelaaj was 
about 8 years old then, and naturally he got frightened. However, to help him, the Lord sent 
an ant which was moving over this pillar. When Pahelaaj saw this, he thought that if an ant 
can move on the red hot pillar, why not me? And therefore he embraced the pillar. As soon 
as he did it, the pillar burst open and 'Narsinh'(a manifestation of the Lord , half human and 
half lion) burst out. He took Harnaakans(it was at dawn or dusk at that moment and therefore 
it was neither day nor night) and lifted him off the ground(therefore it was not on earth or in water) 
and tore him apart with his claws(and therefore he did not use any weapon). Thus ended the life 
of this 'daint', demon Harnaakans.


eji tajore tetaa maat ne, jene haree bhagtisu nahi pyaar re
    potaanaa prapanch pakhve, ane putraani na kare sambhaar re
                                                      tajio.......3

Give up your mother, if she does not have love for the worship of the Lord, she is self conceited, 
and does not take care of her son.


eji aage juone bharthaj hotaa, tene maat taji tat kaall re
    tene raam kaaran raaj chhodiyaa, dhan dhan teno avtaar..tajio.4

Once upon a time there was Bharthaj, who gave up his mother since she did not establish any
relationship between Sri Raam and Bharat. For the sake of Raam, he gave up the rulership 
and his life was blessed with happiness.


eji tajore tetaa bhaaine, jene hari bhagti saathe nahi van re
    tene sonu shu paheriye, jene sone tute kaan re..tajio.........5

Give up such a brother, who does not have the right 'colour', i.e., the love for worship and religion.
 He wears gold earings which ultimately break the ears with their weight( gold means worldly pleasures 
and attachments which ultimately destroy the soul).


eji aage juone Bhabhikshan hotaa, tene bhaai tajio tat kaall re
    tene charan sreviyaa ragu raae naa, te odhaariyaa teni vaar re
                                                       tajio......6

In the past, there lived a person called Bhabhikshan, who gave up his brother(Raavan); he served 
at the feet of ragu raae(Sri Raam?) and became liberated under His protection and assistance.


eji tajio tetaa naari ne, jene hari bhagtisu nahi rangare
    jene kanth tanaa vachan-j lupiyaa, pun te pindh tanaa bhangare
                                                       tajio......7

Give up such a wife, who does not have any colours(desires,praises) for the worship of the Lord; 
she is the one who breaks the vow to her husband and therefore is not loyal, and due
to her bodily lust is unfaithful.


eji aage juone sarvan hotaa, tene naari taji tat kaar re
    tene maat pitaane vaikunth mokalyaa
    tenaa tariyaa sarve janjaar re......................tajio.....8

If you consider the past, you will realise that there was a person called Sarvan 
who left his wife. He sent his mother and father to paradise and therefore all his 
worldly bondages were broken.


eji aage juone rukhpati hotaa, te naari chhoddi chaalyaa van re
    tene ahaar kartaa karsan dev ollakhyaa, avtaar teno dhan re
                                                      tajio.......9

There lived some wives of the rushies, who gave up their husbands and left for the jungle.
They attained the Vision of Lord Krishnaa and such was their exalted birth.


eji ek paaddosi naa lakhsan bhundhaa, je kuddaa chaddave aarare
    tene harve harve chhandiye, jem sarovar chhande pahaadd re
                                                       tajio.....10

If the neighbour has a bad character, and has an evil influence upon you, slowly and 
gradually leave him/her in a manner of waters of the ocean coming to the shore 
and then receding back.


eji ek paaddosi naa lakshan bhundhaa, jeno haiddo nahi nirmal
    te ginaan saathe tad badde, jem gar hare suvan re....tajio...11

If one's neighbour has a bad character and if he has an unclean heart; talking about 
knowledge of religion will bring arguments only, just as a dog barking at anything.


eji peer sadardeen boliyaa venanti, 
    mara momanbhaai tame rahejo hushiyaar
    aa kasannee vinaa koi na seedhaa
    tame kem utarso pahele paar re........................tajio..12

Peer Sadardeen pleads in the form of 'venanti'(supplication)
O my momin brothers, be alert. Without any test or trial nobody has achieved the goal.
Don't expect to cross the material limits without it.
