Saachaare saanhin kun nish din sirevo

Eji Saachaa re saahiaa kun nis din srevo,
vivek vichaar dil maanhe levo
vivek vichaar to jadde,
jo purann hove bhaag re
jo man chaa-o piyaa ji sun;
to ginaan dhrshtte jaag re ji 1

O momins! Always be devoted to the true Lord, retain disciplined thoughts in your hearts. Disciplined thoughts become integral if good fortune of the past prevails. If you desire the Beloved in your hearts, then be awake to the vision of the Ginans.

Eji Purann bhaage haare pirit-j hove,
bharme bhuli haare duniyaa jove;
bharme bhulaa so bhame
eh to juthaa karam bhandhaann re;
kaayaa kampe chaturaasi,
jene rahe man ni taannre ji 2

o momins! Only love prevails due to the good fortune of the past, but the ones who have forgotten due to ignorance, only see the world and they are bound by false karma. Their bodies wander in all directions, those who are tempted by the lower mind.

Eji Taann na mele murak andhaa,
naayanndde na suje re sat kaa dhandhaa;
dhandhaa sat kaa kiji ye,
to prem Gur rahenni mile;
sakal suje sehej maanhe
to timar dehi naa ttle ji 3

O momins! The foolish and the blind do not forsake the temptations, and their eyes cannot see truthful dealings. Perform truthful dealings, then you will get a loving guide in the Night. If that happens everything worthwhile is inspired and the poison of the being is removed.

Eji Dil maanhe kaayam dev-j jaanno,
Ishvar, Bhramaa madhe pavan vakhaanno;
pavan premi saach hay
tenu lakhsha Sat Gur dil vase;
te bhaave preme aavi mile,
to vikhe dehi naa dur thaashe ji 4

O momins! (When the poison is removed), then only the Everliving Lord prevails in the heart. Then praise Ishvar (the Imam) and Bhrama (the Pir) when the wind (of love) arises. The wind (of love) of the lover is true, and he desires the True Guide in his heart. If such a love is attained through good fortune, then the poison of the body will be rendered remote.

Eji Sat Gur charanne re jaagataa rahiye,
ginaan vachan maanhe chint-j dai-ye;
chint da-i ye ginaan maanhe,
to ttale choraasi khaann re;
tantav padh nishtte kare,
so sahi Gur paramaanne re ji 5

O momins! Remain awake at the feet of the True Guide, and give your full attention to the Ginans and farmans. Focus your attention on the Ginans, then you will be freed from the 84 stages of creation. He attains the path leading to the Essence for certain, and it is indeed through the grace/blessings of the Guide.

Eji Partak ugiyo gagan re bhaann,
tem sanchraa chaar maanhe hari parmaann;
sanchraa char viyaapi rahi ye,
tame kenu ma karsho uvekh-re,
tame jene hindo kholtaa,
tene pargatt deh maanhe dekh re ji 6

O momins! As the sun rises and shines over the solar system, in the same manner God is manifest in this world. He is indeed present everywhere and in everything in this universe, therefore do not hate anyone. The one whom you are seeking while roaming around, know him to be manifest in your body.

Eji Pargatt pekheyaa tain-yej jaanno,
vikhe vivaad ginaan ne ma-aanno;
ginaan maanhe to saaheb chhe,
te deh vise chhe raaj re;
Nar-ne pirsaade Miraa bhanne Sayyed Khaan,
te miliyaa muj ne aaj re ji 7

O momins! You will only attain the realization of him being manifest in your body when you do not oppose the teachings of the Ginans. For in the Ginans the Imam is present, the one who rules over matters pertaining to the body. Through the blessings of the Imam, Sayyed Khan teaches: I have attained that Lord today.
