Pir Sadardin · 6 verses

Verse 1

Jīre bhāire ātmārām tame avigat servo, to sarve bhut-thīnirvāsjī; Sej samāo parmārth jāṇo, to kāeṅphiro vanvās jī; ātmā…

English meaning: O brother! If you obey the Lord of souls who is an eternal be ing, then you will obtain deliverance from all idols (or ghosts). If you desire union with God then why do you wander in the jungles?

Verse 2

Jīrebhāire jap tap tirath varat upvāsī, vastūmūl na jāṇe so andhājī; Moho matsar ahankār na mele, to partham pākhanḍdhandhājī; ātmā…

English meaning: O brother! Those who chant and w orship, undertake pilgrimage of holy places and observe fasts, but do not realize the value of the supreme entity then they are blind. If they do not shun greed, pride and vanity then it is all a worst practice of fraud.

Verse 3

Jīrebhāire pinḍh pakhāre ne chaudis nehāre, ane mithīyāvāt na mūkejī; Vivek taṇī gatīgur mukhe jāṇo, to eke vastūna chūkojī; ātmā…

English meaning: O brother! They perform abluti onary rituals and look everywhere but do not shun false matters. Learn the methods of performing virtuous deeds from your spiritual master then you will not miss even a single issue.

Verse 4

Jīrebhāire jugtīna jāṇen e j o g v a k hāṇe, te to beṭhālochan tāṇejī; Ginān dhiyānkī gatībhed na jāṇe, to sursūṅ singītāṇejī; ātmā…

English meaning: O brother! They do not know the method and praise worship; they only sit and stare. (They) do not know the secret of the methods of knowledge and contemplation, and shout at the top of their voice.

Verse 5

Jīrebhāire āp na sodhe ne avrāne juje, sudh tatva gināne na jāgejī; Radeh na āchhāne āp vakhāṇe, to manchhākaram ja lāgejī; ātmā…

English meaning: O brother! They do not search w ithin themselves (or do not recognize their own self), quarrel with others and are not awakened by an understanding of spiritual knowledge. Heart is not pure and they praise themselves, they will remain entrapped in carnal desires.

Verse 6

Jīrebhāire bhaṇe Pīr Sadardīnnirmal thaine servo, to jot bimb tam pāsejī; Surat nīrat karīdhyān lagāo, to tej nūrmāṅhe bhāsejī; ātmā…

English meaning: O brother! Pir Sadardin (ra) says: obey after being clean and pure; then the light will be close to you. Contemplate with the passion of union with God; then you will become luminous with the light.
