āja ānanda pāmyā mana ke satagura sevīyāre lola

(Garbi 2)

Today this mind has attained bliss (ānanda)

By serving (sevā) the Satgur.

Do not be deceived, O you foolish people!

Hold the essence in your hearts.

Those idols in the temple are but stones!

Why dance around them in circles?

Serve the Light (nūr) of Satgur!

The Guru who is the master of Divine Light.

Be loyal in giving the offering (dāna) of tithe (dasond)!

Them you will reap success.

Those who walk on the True Path (satpanth) –

These pious ones (rīkhīsar) will reign.

Keep on dancing, all of you, night and day!

But alas, you will attain nothing!

All those idols are mere stones!

They cannot even utter a single word.

Why are you deceived by such fake idols?

They are just man-made toys.

It is a lie that a god (derva) is in this garbī!

Where is [this Goddess] Bhavānī?

The creative powers of Guru Brahmā are abundant.

All existence is within it.

Regard the whole world (samsār) as false!

Know this from Yama. ¹

Believe in the manifestation (avatār) of ‘Alī!

Then you will reap fruit.

You will thus be absolved of sin and regret

And attain an elevated rank.

In this manner, the Satgur explained the truth (sāc)

But they did not understand.

All the people listened to him

And then said :

“Come back on the second night,

And we will dance together.”

Pir Shams the Guru said :

“Be heedful of your conduct!”
