[O Seeker of Haq!] Listen [attentively]!  That Roshan Zamir (with enlightened Conscience) person reaches at the Martaba (Rank) of the Marifat of Faqar and Hidayat (Guidance) of Faqar he becomes favorite of the sight of Mercy of Lord and becomes permanent attendee of the sacred Majlis (Court) of the Holy Prophet Hazarat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wassallam.  Such person is [no doubt] the [admirable] son of the Noblest Human Being - Hazarat Adam Alaihi Salam.

My Lord says: “verily we have honored the children of Adam” (17:70)

And amongst the Ummat (Nation) of Hazarat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wassallam the chosen scholars are these very Ulema Bi Allah Arifeen and Aulia Allah.

HADIS (sayings of the Holy Prophet)

The Ulema (scholars) of my Ummat (Nation) will be alike the Prophets of the children of Israel.

These very people are the Masters of Tassaruf (Possession) and the Haamileen (possessors) of the Visualization of the Name Allah the Essence  with the ability of the Name Allah the Essence  and are honored every day and night with the Mushahida (Vision) of the Gharq (rapt) in Fana Fi Allah (Destroyed in Allah) and Didaar.  Their dead Nafs are destroyed and their spirits have gained Baqa (Rebirth).  They get flavor through Immersion and the taste through the Liqa (meeting) of Lord.  Do not cavil on their Maratib (Ranks) of the Ghaib (unseen) because caviling is a Major Sin.  These people from the very Day of Azal have the forgiveness and La Raib (doubtless) Hidayat (Guidance) from Allah Almighty.  These Faqeer persons are the successors of the Ahl e Muhabbat (Followers of Cordiality) who have gained the Marifat of Liqa (meeting) in Fana (Destruction).  That person who does not conviction on these persons he is the dead hearted stupid and lewd because their physical body is like grave and heart like the inside grave and Ruh (Spirit) is Waasil (joined) with the Sanctuary of the Sustainer of the Worlds.  This Martaba (Rank) is beyond the limits and out of the scope of units (that is it cannot be counted).

My Lord says: “fulfill your part of the covenant; I will fulfill My part of the covenant.” (2:40)

Thus [these Faqeer persons] become so much absorbed in the Hazraat of the Name Allah the Essence that they are left with no news even of life and death. 

Suggested Meanings:

Didaar: seeing the Sight of Allah. Azal: eternity without beginning. Hazraat: inwardly gains and spiritual rewards that are the outcomes of Visualization.

After that heart of the Seeker of Didaar becomes distracted from the world and the worldly people. 

MASNAVI (RHYMING COUPLETS OF GREAT SPIRITUAL MEANINGS)

If you would like to see the conditions and occurrences of grave

Then all situations and occurrences will get disclosed

After this you must learn the warning lesson with full regret

If heart will be of peace then every Station will become understandable.

THE SHARAH (EXPLANATION or EXPOSITION)

 OF

THE TAREEKA (ORDER) OF SARWARI QADRI

The very novice situation of Zikr in the Sarwari Qadri Order is such that every Seeker when he dies the heart comes in motion after death and starts loudly calling ‘Allah Allah Allah’ and beats the strokes of ‘Allah Allah Allah’ and clamors.  The Zaakir of this kind [preoccupies in Didaar in such a way] that neither he has news of the Angels nor of the grave and tomb.  In the recluse of grave under the earth under the protection of Allah he immerses in the Station of Fana Fi Allah (Destruction in Allah) (Destroyed) in Allah.  On the Day of Judgment he will sooner come out [of the grave] and after entering Paradise without any Reckoning and Torment will become honored with Didaar.  But instead after reaching before Almighty Haq he will become besought of even Houris and castles in the Eden and he will remember nothing at all.  For such a [Mureed] of the way of the Qadri Sarwari Order life and death become alike.  Be enlightened!  That every that person who always remains steadfast in the demand and Cordiality for Lord the world and people of world perpetually remain obedient like slaves in Cordiality for him and in his demand.

BAYT (COUPLET)

I do not see anything besides God with my eyes

Even if anyone inflicts cruelty and tyranny on me I consider it as from Allah.

Suggested Meanings:

shakes his hands is such a way as butter is skimmed out of yogurt exactly like this he collects the Ruh (Spirit) of the human being in the Istakhwan al Abeez of the human brain which is a Station wider and spacious than the earth and heavens.  At this Station the Ruh (Spirit) is stood up by the Angel.  at the Station of Istakhwan ul Abeez [during the period before resting the body in grave] three hundred seventy (370) questions are asked from the dead body.  After this the person who gives a bath to the dead body gives bath to it and Namaz e Janaza is offered.  Three hundred seventy (370) questions are asked from the dead body by the Angels before it is rested in the grave where the Munkir and Nakir ask him questions to answer and then he becomes free.  Afterwards the Roohani (spirit of the deceased) is aroused and stood up in the grave by an angel named ‘Rummaan’.  He makes his finger a pen and saliva of his mouth as ink and coffin (white cloth with which dead body is wrapped) as paper and writes the virtues and sins of the deceased person by his hand on it and makes an amulet of the ‘paper’ and wears it round its neck and vanishes.  If Roohani (spirit of the deceased) is righteous it goes to the Station of Elliyyeen and if is sinful then he is entered to the Station of the Sijjiyeen.  After three days the Roohani (spirit of the deceased) comes again in his grave and sees his elemental body that it has become decaying and putrid and insects and bugs are eating it then it deeply regrets over its condition moans over it and becomes too much sorrowful and says that ‘O you!  Brought up in luxury and blessings!  [What calamity struck you?]’.  For twelve years it repeatedly always visits its dead body to observe this ruination and rotten state of its body as if someone visits to see a patient.  Three types of people are those whose dead body remains intact under the protection of Allah.  The first kind of the body in peace is of the Aalim (Erudite) Aamil (that practiced upon Ilm (knowledge)) the second kind of the body in peace is of the Perfect Faqeer and third kind of the body is of the Shaheed (martyr) Mukammil(complete) Akmal (more perfect).  Therefore the Shaheed e Akbar even after their death talks with the people in the Aalim e Hayaat.  The Murshid e Kamil (Perfect Guide) opens the all the above recorded Maratib (Ranks) of the Aalim e Mamaat to the Seeker through the Hazraat of the Name Allah the Essence during the very life time of the Seeker either in dream or during Maraqiba (Sufi Meditation) or openly through the awareness of a reason or through the Gaze and eyesight and shows the Ain Ba Ain Mushahida (Vision) of all the aforesaid all conditions of the Aalim e Mamaat in this world. 

Suggested Meanings:

Namaz e Janaza: funeral prayers. Sijjiyeen: a place where spirits of the sinful will be brought after their death. Aamil: skilled doer perfect applier of knowledge. Aalim e Hayaat (realm of life). Aalim e Mamaat: Realm of the Dead. Hazraat: inwardly gains and spiritual rewards that are the outcomes of Visualization. Ain Ba Ain: exactly or same as seen through eyes.
