O momin  Speak in a cool and sweet manner
         this is liked by the jamaat(and therefore the Imaam)
         Be honest in everything
         then your heart will love the Lord OR the Lord's heart   
         will encompass you
              
          In whose heart the true Lord(Haazar Imaam) resides,
          does not feel like eating(i.e. does not run after
          worldly pleasures)
          In whose heart resides his own Guide, does not sleep in 
          ignorance(he is always alert and conscious of the Lord)
          Abondon the sleep of ignorance and reflect upon the     
          ginaans(Divine knowledge and wisdom)

O momin   Do not pay attention to others
          which will lead you to the state of being
          unwed(separate from the NOOR of the Imaam)
          Pay attention to only the wise saints 
          who will assist you in crossing over the limits of      
          material existence

O momin   In a very narrow street, I met my Guide
          but I still have to maintain a relationship with the    
          rest of the people
          With the pretext of removing a thorn from my foot, I
          bow  in reverance to my Guide(so that nobody recognises the act)
          and with my hands I beg for forgiveness


eji van van agar na neepaje

    gur kaa bhaankhyaa so jutthaa na hoy

O momin   Not in every forest can one find sandlewood
          and not in every pond can one find lillies(lotus plants)
          Peer Sadardeen says: the Guides predictions are never   
          false

[This is alluding to the fact that the real Guide is very rare
and is not to be found everywhere and therefore one must take
maximum advantage of his contact with the Imaam. One must not
consider it lightly if he/she is chosen by the Imaam as His
disciple.]
