āj kaljug puraṇ thaeo / kufrān chālīyā

Sayyid Imam Shah · 8 verses

Verse 1

Ejī āj kaljug puraṇthayo, Ane satī sat na rākhe koi; Tiyāṅ mindar mindar āpṇe, Ghar ghar ḍāyā hoe

English meaning: O brother! Today Kali Yuga is fully manifest and the pious will not protect their truth. There each one will consider himself clever in his own place of worship and abode.

Verse 2

Ejī tiyāṅ lok nindā bahū karse, Munivar mukhthī na bolere koi; Tamne karshe vīrā ujḷā, Te potānī kamāi khoi

English meaning: O brother! There people will backbite much; O believers! Do not say anything from your mouth. They will clean you and will lose their own earnings.

Verse 3

Ejī evī khari kasoṭī kasāvshe, Te to pūra kas kahevāe; Tiyāṅ khara hashe te ghar jālshe, Ne khoṭā te bhāgī jāe

English meaning: O brother! In this way there will be a real test and (it) will be a complete test. There the true will remain in their homes and the false will run away.

Verse 4

Ejīkhoṭā bhāghse te sahū dekhtā, Te mugtinā phal nahīṅ pāe; E duniyā durijan kāraṇe, Te to kaḍvā indrāṇ phal khāe

English meaning: O brother! Everybody will see the false fleeing; they will not obtain the fruit of salvation. For the sake of this evil world they will eat the bitter fruit of Indrā۬.

Verse 5

Ejī have kshetra nathīre pāṅchmū, Tame rolo karsho kyāeṅ; Sarve vasat khoi kūḍe pāpīe, Jeṇe chhoḍī imamnī bāeṅ

English meaning: O brother! Now there is no fifth field (yuga); where will you go and complain? That false sinner lost everything who forsook the arm of the Imam.

Verse 6

Ejī satpanth vorī gāṅṭhe bāndhiā, Paṇ murakh na jāṇere maram; Ek til sukhne kāraṇe, Teṇe khoyā mugatnā dharam

English meaning: O brother! Having obtained the Satpanth (true path) kept it securely, but the foolish one did not understand its essence. For the sake of a little pleasure he lost the religion of salvation.

Verse 7

Ejīteṇe āpe dozakh samāriyā, Ane bahesht na pāve soi; Be pīr thayā te dozakh paḍyā, Bhāī hāthe amar phal khoi

English meaning: O brother! He prepared (his) hell with his own hands and he will not obtain paradise. Those without a pir (spiritual guide) went to hell. O brother! With his own hands he lost the fruit of immortality.

Verse 8

Ejī e murakh ginān vichārī nav jue, Ane satpanth jevo nathī panth sār; Bhaṇe Sayyad Imām Shāh suṇo munivaro, Bāvā be imānīne paḍe ghaṇī dohelī mār

English meaning: O brother! That foolish one does not contemplate upon the Ginan, and there is no other path like the Satpanth (true path). Sayyid Imam Shah (r.a.) says: Listen O believers! The faithless will be beaten relentlessly.
