HATHEE HATHEE PARABAT TOLA(N)DE BA(N)DE BY PEER SHAMSH ejee hathee hathee parabat tolande ba(n)de, samuddhr ghu(n)tt bhare ese jodhe maattee rale ba(n)de, tu kyu girabh kare har bhaj gaafal ba(n)de chaalannaa hee sa(n)saar har bhaj lobhee ba(n)de chaalannaa hee san(n)saar............1 O momins: With the use of hands only, the ones who could weigh huge mountains, and could fill the entire oceans in the fold of their palms; such intrepid warriors have gone to dust. Then why do you entertain pride and vanity? O negligent slave (created being), adore the Lord because this (transient) world will pass away. O greedy and covetous one, adore the Lord because this world will pass away. ejee aaj hotee kaal na hove ba(n)de, kaal hotee aaj-j ho aa(n)kh firaakann na meele ba(n)de, muhme rahyo re geeroh....2 O momins: That which can be done today, should not be left for tomorrow and that which is supposed to be done tomorrow should be done today. A moment as short as a twinkle of an eye will not be given as grace to thee; even a morsel shall remain in the mouth unchewed (at the time of death). ejee jeen sa(n)g has has bolanne ba(n)de, ek ghaddee naa rahyo khaa(n)dh utthaa kar gaadd de ba(n)de, ulatt paalatt bhayo...3 O momins: The ones with whom you had laughter filled conversations, did not remain with you for one moment. They were carried on the shoulders (in the funeral processions) and were finally buried. Their world was turned upside down. ejee man maanedhaa taaraaraannee penate, galle nav kottee dhaa haar kaashee nagaree me chovatte raajaa harischa(n)ddhre vechee naar..........4 O momins: Queen Taaraaraani wore an object that was very much dear to her heart. It was a necklace worth 90 million units. However, the same queen was sold in the shopping streets of Kashi by her husband, King harischanddhr (as a test for his detachment of the world). ejee gur geenaan boleeyaa daataa peer shamsh yaa shaah jumlo la(n)gaai-e paar dasond deeyo more momano, to utaro pahele paar...............5 O momins: This 'geenaan' (Divine knowledge) of the Guide is said by the benevolent Peer Shamsh. O Lord! help all the jamaats to cross the limits of this material existence. My true believers, submit the tithe, then you will get across (this ocean of material existence).
