O momins, having adopted the True Path, oh brothers, do not remain aloof from it. 
The mouth by which you drink the holy water should not be used to tell falsehood.

remembered(looked after) even for a moment.

O momins,  the whole life is wasted in the greed of material possessions. 
The human birth which is as valuable as a diamond is lost through drowning
(in the ocean of material life).

vahaalu - dear                visaaree - left, forgotten

Divine knowledge and wisdom); seeking these pearls through search and
meditation one forgets the wordly attachments which are dear to oneself.

will not get this opportunity of human birth again and again.


eji aare kaayaa taaree fulanako bhaaro
    nathee re ugarvaano eke aaro..................................7

aare - oh this                  kaayaa - material bodily existence
fulanako - of flowers           bhaaro - a bunch
aaro - shore, means of escape   ugarvaano - for collection?

O momins, this bodily material existence is just like a bunch of fresh flowers. There 
is not a single means of saving them(their freshness from getting withered).

The duration of life is just like a bunch of flowers. the freshness with it's sweet fragrance 
gets used up drop by drop until it is all withered, stale, dead and lost. it's only utility while 
still fresh and fragrant, is to fill your nostrils with the sweetness, drenching your spirit with happiness.
Breathe in it's sweet fragrance or not, the freshness is going to die. You cannot spare it.
So we are in our life. The seconds and minutes of which it is comprised, pass away, 
unceasingly, into eternity and are lost for ever - used or unused. There is no way to save
 them or spare them. But if we fill up these seconds and minutes with love of our Hazar Imaam; 
utilise them in acts of His pleasure and pass them under His obedience, they will be full of our 
spiritual happiness. If they are thus utilised, they are worthily spent, otherwise they are lost without any profit.

O momins, offer your religious dues to the right(legitimate) receiver after recognising Him. Then 
indeed you will receive the rewards for your religious performances(rites and ceremonies).


eji pun daan deeje viraa aapannere haathe
    a(n)t kaalle aave taaraa jeev ddaa nee saathe.................9

O brothers give religious dues with your own hands. At the time of your death, 
these will accompany your soul.


eji eso geenaan peer shamsh bolyaa
    reekheesar jaannee saahebe padd-daa kholyaa..................10

the veil(covering the reality) upon knowing a genuine murid.

eji padd-daa khulyaa ne saahebe najare su meelee-aa
    lakh choraasee naa feraa-j ttaleeyaa.........................11

O momin, by removing the veil the Lord was attained through the Spiritual Vision(Deedaar). The entire 
burden of the eighty four cycles of rebirth were wiped out upon attaining this Vision.
