Jiv-ni chintaa have karo

Eji Jiv ni chintaa have karo
ane karnni karo tame saar;
Sat Panth saachi vaat chhe
tame saachaa chaalo nirdhaar 1

O brother! Be concerned about the soul now, and perform pure deeds. Satpanth is the true path, walk on it truly and steadily.

Eji Tame dil baandho saachaa saanhi sun,
jennne sirjiyaa sarve sansaar;
man maari durijan dur karo,
to sare tamaaraa kaaj 2

O brother! Attach your hearts to the true Beloved, the one who created the entire world. Slaying your mind, shun the devil Satan, then all your tasks will be simplified.

Eji Durijan bhundho te sahu upar suro,
tene dil thi raakho dur;
panj-bhu maari jikar-e jaag-so
to sahi varse saaheb-jinu noor 3

O brother! The vulgar Satan has control over everyone, keep him away from your heart. Slaying the five evils, if you remain awake in remembrance (zikr), then the Light of the Imam will pour.

Eji Noor varse to dil paak rahe,
jo hove thir puro imaan;
jo imaan-sun chaalo ne aap gaalo,
bhaai saaheb-sun raakho dhiyaan 4

O brother! When the Light pours the heart remains pure, if faith is complete and firm. If you proceed faithfully and annihilate your mind (lower self), o brother, then retain your attention upon the Imam (his guidance).

Eji Dhiyaan lagaavo tame saaheb-sun,
have raakho aap-nnu aap;
tame prem pidaa ridheh dharo,
bhaai jampo ajampiyaa jaamp 5

O brother! Concentrate your attention upon the Imam and keep to yourself now. Arouse the pain (tears) of love in your hearts, o brother, repeat the unuttered name.

Eji Jaap japo ne dhir raakho,
ane abhimaan na aanno man;
jo kudd kapatt tame parharo
to paamsho Shaah nu darshan 6

O brother! Repeat the name and be patient (humble) and do not retain any pride in your mind. If you eliminate fraud and deceit, then you will attain the Vision of the Imam.

Eji Tame chaaho darshan Shaah nu,
to sir dharo utaar;
piyu piyu hardam kijiye
rati duniyaa-sun na raakhiye pyaar 7

O brother! If you crave for the Deedar of the Imam, then severe your head and submit it. Upon every breath perform Beloved Beloved. Do not retain the slightest love for the world.

Eji Duniyaa sansaar ek til chhe
ane jevo sapnutar jaann;
iyu kari dil sun dekhiyen
bhaai ek din marvun chhe nirvaann 8

O brother! The worldly existence is transcient, just as a dream. In this manner envision through the heart, for o brother one day you will have to die.

Eji Te marnne pahelaa tame mari ne chaalo
ane dharati gunn raakho aap;
Sat Gur vachane tame thir raho
to dil kaa jaave sarve paap 9

O brother! Before dying walk along as if you are dead (to the world), and retain earthly qualities within yourselves. Remain firm upon the commands of the True Guide, then all the sins of the heart will disappear.

Eji Bhanne Pir Imaam Shaah sunno munivaro
tame raakho piyu sun het;
piyu sun pattuntaro rati nav raakhiye
jem bhaadarve hariyaa het 10

O brother! Sayyed Imam Shah teaches: listen o believers, retain love for the Beloved. Do not treat anything else alike the Beloved (in your love), just as the fields are constantly refreshed lush green by rain.
