Verse 1

Ho jīre bhāire ātmārām tame baḍāginānī, tārīgat kene na jāṇījī; Vāje nād sabadmāṅhe khele, tenī surtīgaganmāṅhe bhelāṇījī; ātmā…

English meaning: O The Lord! You are the great knower; nobody understood your mystery. Musical instruments are sounding and they are playfully engaged with the word. Their contemplation was absorbed in the sky.

Verse 2

Ho jīre bhāire khojat bharmāshāh nīrinjan, surijan munījan ginānījī; Servo sankādik surinar mohiyā, to maesar mohiyādhyānījī; ātmā…

English meaning: O brother! Even the brahma is searching for this unfathomable Lord and also spiritual beings, believers and the knowledgeable. This Lord has attracted brahma’s children and maheshwar too.

Verse 3

Ho jīre bhāire nigam nirantar ved netī netīgāve, to bhaṇtāpinḍhat purāṇījī, Ātmārāmkījeṇe sudh na jāṇī, te bhūlāpinḍhat purāṇījī; ātmā…

English meaning: O brother! The ancient script ures consistently teach “not this, not this”; the pundits read these scriptures. Those who didn’t recognize God, those scripture reading pundits went astray.

Verse 4

Ho jīre bhāire agam agochar āpe aprampar, sadāe sarvamāsamāeyājī; Nirgun gināne dhiyān man ja lāgā, bhaṇe Pīr Sadardīname pāyājī; ātmā…

English meaning: O brother! That God is incompre hensible, invisible and infinite; and is eternally within everyone. Contemplation and the heart were connected to the knowledge of the one who is beyond all attributes. Pir Sadardin (ra) says that we obtained him.
