Make the pilgrimage! Pir Shams Gaazi, (the defender) has gone;
O Brother, go (to the sacred waters) to bathe, to bathe, to bathe! ..1

Washed and bathed, those souls who follow the Guru’s Farman
They will bathe nowhere else, no they will bathe nowhere else! ..2

Walk on the straight path, ask the Pir (for it), and then walk on that path;
Do not let your feet stray upon barren land, no do not go astray! ..3

Pir Shams gives the best instruction for all souls;
Even hard-hearted souls can He convince, yes He can convince.. ..4

My Sahib has graciously opened a door - it is like a
Needle’s eye through which the elephant-self* must pass.. ..5

Pir Shams, the defender (of the faith), said:
True friends and believers will reap the fruits! ..6

*Hasti: (Urdu) - elephant, one’s being, individuality, personality, self.
Based on a proverb that says the ego is as huge as an elephant, and
must be shrunk (humbled) to pass through the eye of a needle.

Ek teerath vedh-daa Pir Shamsh gaazi sadhña
Toosa naavo naavo naavña, vira naavña.. ..1

Naate dhote se jiya jine gurdha farmaaya kiya
Aur nahi naavña, nahi naavña.. ..2

Raaho raah chalo tusa Pir poochhi raah chalo
Ujad pag nahi paavña, na paavña.. ..3

Pir Shamsh arvaah parbodhña
Man-hathi ruha-ne samjaavña, e samjaavña ..4

Esa dar mede Saheb raajedha sadhda
Suidhe dhafe veech hasti maavña, vira maavña ..5

Pir Shamsh gaazi boliya
Fal sache yaare momane paavña, vira paavña ..6
