entirely and do it with true heart and conviction. At this ceremony
women and men will come. Maintain pure love and affection then.

The souls will go to hell, of those who have had no faith in the holy water.

haija(n)daa kahetaa harakh aavshe, kaa-em kahetaa saaheb jaann

You will attain the fruits by stating "Peer Shah" (while standing in the queue),
and by saying "Farmaan" (before drinking abe-e-safaa) you will have given a
great charity. By saying "Haizindaa" (before taking "Sukreet") happiness will
come and by saying "Kaayam Paayaa" the inner understanding of the Imaam will come.

ejee sayyed imaamshaah boleeyaa
ane tame evaare fal kaa(n)i gamaavo
par streethee jo chetsho, to ghatt sughatt hoy jaann.........8

Sayyed Imaamshah has spoken (this "ginaan"). Why do you lose
such (exalted) fruits. If you are mindful of getting involved in illicit
relationships, you will have an awareness (of the Lord) in every part of your being.
