Piyu piyu kijiyen

Eji Piyu piyu kijiye
to radeh upaje ginaan;
radeh nirmal to thaay
jo raakho saaheb-ji sun dhiyaan 1

O brother! Remember the beloved so that divine knowledge and wisdom may arise in your heart. The heart will be purified when attention or thoughts are focussed upon the Imam.

Eji Dhiyaan ek chit raakhie
to dil maanhe upaje het sun neh;
em saas usaase aaraadhiyen
bhaai te kadi na dije chheh 2

O brother! Keep attention/thoughts focused so that the attachment of love will develop in your heart. Remember the Imam in this manner upon every breath. O brother! Never forsake this remembrance.

Eji Chheh na dije saachaa saanhiyaan kun
ane dehi-jo ttukdda thaay;
damo dam hari-ne japiye
bhaai ek dam ere na jaay 3

O brother! Do not forsake the true beloved even if (your) body is hacked to pieces. Keep on remembering God upon every breath and not a breath should be wasted.

Eji Jo dam jaave aapnaa Shaah vinaa
bhaai so dam jaanno murdaar;
eva saaheb ne kem chhoddiyen
til na kijiye vaar 4

O brother! If a breath passes without the (remembrance of) Imam, o brother, it should be considered as lifeless.How can such an Imam be forsaken? Do not procrastinate even for a moment (in remembrance).

Eji Gaflat dil-thi vaariye,
kudd kapatt sarve karo dur;
e durmat nindaa tame parharo
to rahesho Shaah-ne hajur 5

O brother! Remove oblivion from the heart and keep away from all fraud and deceit. Give up such evil mthoughts and backbiting, then you will remain in the presence of the Imam.

Eji Haajar Shaah ji ne jaanniye
ane haraf na kaadhiye bhaar;
evi rahenni rahiye saach sun
ane jampiye te sirjann-haar 6

O brother! Regard the Imam as ever-present. Do not speak a word ( i.e. do not reveal this secret). Live with the truth in this way and keep on remembering the Creator.

Eji Sirjann-haar sahun no daataar chhe
te sahu ni pure aash;
te gat gat vaapak saahiyaa hay
bhaai jem fulu maanhe vaas 7

O brother! The Creator sustains everybody and He fulfils the wishes of everyone. That Lord fills each heart like fragrance in the flowers.

Eji Dhudh maanhe jem girath hay
ane tesaa tuj maanhe praan;
tesaa tuj maanhe saahiyaa hay
te gat gat viyaapak jaan 8

O brother! Just as butter in milk, and life in your body, in the same manner the Lord is within you who dwells in every heart.

Eji Jab lag ghat maanhe praan hay
tab lag cheto maaraa vir;
nit nit jikar-e jaagiye
em boliyaa Sat Gur Pir 9

O Brother! As long as there is life in your body, be vigilant (and) always be awake in remembrance. The True Guide says thus.

Eji Bhanne Pir Imaam Shaah sunno munivaro
tame saachi raakho man maanhe dhir;
Shaah sun neh ridhaa maanhe raakhiye
to nirmal thaay sharir 10

O Momins, listen! Sayyed Imam Shah says retain true patience in your heart. Have love for the Imam in your heart, then your body will be purified.
