English meaning: O brother! You acquired the human form, but did not take any provisions with you. You have somehow arrived (but) the returning path is very arduous.
Eji vāṭ vikaṭ panth dūr hae, Kuchh phartāṅ na pāie pār; Sācho karī sāhebne sirevjo, To sāheb utāre pār

English meaning: O brother! By speaking the truth you shall be saved; there is no fifth yuga (era); listen o momin brother.
Eji moman moman sab koi kahāve, Sab koi sūṇe ginān; Gure harf harf karī samjāveā, Toe na āvī sān
English meaning: O brother! Everybody calls himself a momin and everybody listens to Ginan. The spiritual guide has explained word by word yet (they) did not understand.

English meaning: O brother! To whoever the spiritual guide revealed the proximity of the Lord, he can clearly visualize the faith. In whose heart the Lord dwells completely, he knows the secret of faith. Vel Vaekji
Vel Vaekji Eji jaesā dūdhmāṅhe girat hae, Taesā tujmāṅhe prāṇ; Taesā tujmāṅhe sāṅiyāṅ hae, Ghaṭ ghaṭ vāso jāṇ
English meaning: O brother! As there is butter-oil in milk so there is a soul within you. In the same way the beloved is within you. In each heart is his place (or dwelling).

Eji je sāchā yārā momanā, Te to māṇak tol; Jeṇe satgur sāheb na oḷakhiyā, Te nar kāchā sīsā tol
English meaning: O brother! The true momin friends are like diamonds. Whoever does not recognize the true spiritual guide, he is like crude glass.
Eji jeṇe dharam liyā ne pāreā nahīṅ, Tenū dojakmāṅhe vās; Je sāchā yārā momanā, Te besse sāhebjīne pās
English meaning: O brother! Whoever adopted religion but did not act upon it, his place is in hell. The true momin friends will sit in proximity to the Lord. Vel Vaekji
Vel Vaekji Ane kharā dasondī jāṇ; Jeṇe hazrat pīr pichhāṇiyā, Te upar sāhebjīko pyār
English meaning: O brother! Whoever consulted the spiritual guide, acted accordingly and a re complete in Dasond; whoever recognized the reverend pir, the Lord loves them.
Eji dharam liyā to kiyā huā, Jo sāhebjīsūṅ na lāgā rang; Jem pāṇī māṅhe pathar bhayā, Toe na bhīnā ang
English meaning: O brother! Of what use is it if one acquired religion but did not adopt the ways of the Lord? It is like a stone in water yet its surface does not get wet.

English meaning: O brother! Whoever is not moistened is like a stone; he did not recognize the Imam and the Pir. Saturate yourself in Ginan just as water dissolved in soil.

English meaning: O brother! Just as when water added to soil, it dissolves immediately. In the same way the true momin friends melt upon listening to Ginan.
