O Dear!  Listen [attentively]!  For both the Murshideen (Guides) and the Seekers this one saying is sufficient that that in your left side is your enemy Nafs [] and in your right side the accused Satan in encroaching.  Thus you are in battle against both these two [fierce] enemies.  That person on whose both sides such [strong] enemies are stick like the wounds of arrow or the pain of thorn then what concern he might have with dream or happy hours?  You ought to be alert every time!  What you know that at what instance the messenger of death will bring the message?  The Faqeer ought to always be engaged in the Visualization of the Name Allah the Essence ; till a flame of Tajalli (self disclosure) of Anwaar (Scintillations) emanates from the Name Allah the Essence and Faqeer after drowning in this self disclosure becomes honored with Didaar; neither he may remember the spring of the Eden nor even the Fire of Hell.  I have passed through these both Stations and have turned my face towards Didaar.

HADIS (sayings of the Holy Prophet)

Eimaan (Belief) is between fear and hope.

Which Ilm (knowledge) and mode is for getting the honor of Didaar becoming Waasil (joined) with Haq Almighty and getting Liqa (meeting) of Lord?  That is just the Noori (Photic) Hazoori Ilm of the Mushahida (Vision) of the Qurb (propinquity) of Lord that is beyond this outwardly wisdom intelligence and sensibility.  Every that person can know this Ilm (knowledge) of the Marifat who has directly learnt the lesson from Allah Almighty and this lesson is dearer to us than brother son and life even.

Suggested Meanings:

Didaar: seeing the Sight of Allah. Hazoori: It means ‘attendance at an intangible Station or an unseen gathering that is a Wayfarer after disconnecting with the creation and after fleeing away of the outward world gains cordially spiritually and inwardly the Qurb of Lord Wisaal and Didaar and is present before Allah in said way or he is allowed attendance in the inward and spiritual Court of Hazarat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihi Wassallam inwardly or spiritually while sleeping or through Maraqiba.

Egotism (adore for the self) is hard Kufr (Blasphemy).  For what Ilm (knowledge) is?  And for what the scholar is?  Ilm (knowledge) is for the sake of Hidayat (Guidance) and Aalim (Erudite) is for Rawayat.  For what Hidayat (Guidance) is?  And what is Rawayat?  Rawayat that is free of Riya is a Waseela (Resource) of the Marifat of Lord.  And Hidayat (Guidance) eliminates Shirk (Polytheism) Kufr (Blasphemy) Devilish and carnal desires and takes to the Majlis (Court) of Hazarat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wassallam.

Thus for everything [there is some] witness and for every witness Millat (nation) and Religion is [a] course.  Thus which is the witness for a Faqeer?  [His witness] is the Marifat of Lord (on one hand) and the Qurb of Hazoori and Mushahida (Vision) of Lord is on the other hand.

ABYAAT (COUPLETS)

Those who have no Murshid (Guide) for the sake of Allah Almighty I am their Murshid (Guide)

And those who have no Pir I am their Pir from the Holy Prophet Hazarat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wassallam

I am the Perfect Qadri and I am addressed in the name Bahu Rahmatullah Alaihi

When Bahu Rahmatullah Alaihi became Fana Fi Allah (Destroyed in Allah) then the Hijaab (Veil) raised

Only he deserves to be called a Pir

That grants five treasures to the Seekers in five days

The Aalim (Erudite) and Faazil (learned person) stay under my command

Because I am a companion of the sacred Majlis (Court) of Hazarat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wassallam

These Maratib (Ranks) are available to the Qadri by the grace of God

Wish for the Nemul Badal of these from a Qadri

I am the Murshid (Guide) of the Murshideen (Guides) because of Hazoori

The bodies of my Mureedain are the secrets and mysteries of Noor (Light)

I do not find any Seeker competent for Ataa

The Incomplete and Imperfect Seeker is the wrong doer and the enemy of his soul.

Suggested Meanings:

Rawayat: narrating informing and quoting. Riya: hypocrisy and duplicity. Pir: the Spiritual Guide who Initiates Seekers on his hand and makes them his Mureed. Hazoori: It means ‘attendance at an intangible Station or an unseen gathering that is a Wayfarer after disconnecting with the creation and after fleeing away of the outward world gains cordially spiritually and inwardly the Qurb of Lord Wisaal and Didaar and is present before Allah in said way or he is allowed attendance in the inward and spiritual Court of Hazarat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihi Wassallam inwardly or spiritually while sleeping or through Maraqiba. Mureedain: the disciples who have been Initiated on hand by the Pir. Ataa (grant): donation. Nemul Badal: the new ranks and positions that are received as reward.

O Bahu Rahmatullah Alaihi!  For God’s sake show this path

Come to me headless after decapitation!

(I) mean that the weightiness of Didaar can only be borne by that Arif Roohani (spirit of the deceased) who is one out of thousands!  Only he can throw out everything from his heart besides Allah.

MASNAVI (RHYMING COUPLETS OF GREAT SPIRITUAL MEANINGS)

Take the Seeker of Didaar for experiencing Didaar

So that eye may not see anything besides Allah

Where ever I Gaze upon I find Haq from Haq

With continual study the heart remains drowned in Damm (Breath).

Yes it is compulsory and like an obligation on the Master of Ilm (Sahib e Ilm) that he should seek Hidayat (Guidance) from Murshid (Guide).  That Aalim (Erudite) who has the Ilm (knowledge) of Hazoori he is the Master of Wisaal (Sahib e Wisaal) and all events that happen in both the Worlds he sees them and becomes aware of the occurrences (Ahwaal).  The Faqeer Aulia Allah does not need the illuminations of the words of the books [of the worldly people] because to the Faqeers and Darwaish the answers along with reason are got by them from the Qurb (propinquity) of Allah - the Sustainer.  Yes [though] it is a reality that the outward text of this Faqeer is Imperfect but it is full of the flavor of butter and honey.  The solidity of the words of the poets is merely through the wisdom intelligence and sensibly but wisdom intelligence and sensibly of the poets far away and remote from Qurb (propinquity) of Lord and Hazoori.  Since Masti and Hoshiyari (Cautiousness) is present [in the assembly of the audience] [therefore the element of Qabooliyat (acceptance) is present in the Sanctuary of Allah].  He who is honored with Didaar he is the Master of Authority (Sahib e Ikhtiyar).  You listen to my words through the ears of heart and if you would not listen then you would be ashamed and disgraced in front of Eighteen Thousand Realms on the Day of Judgment! 

Suggested Meanings:

Didaar: seeing the Sight of Allah. Hazoori: It means ‘attendance at an intangible Station or an unseen gathering that is a Wayfarer after disconnecting with the creation and after fleeing away of the outward world gains cordially spiritually and inwardly the Qurb of Lord Wisaal and Didaar and is present before Allah in said way or he is allowed attendance in the inward and spiritual Court of Hazarat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihi Wassallam inwardly or spiritually while sleeping or through Maraqiba. Wisaal: It means witnessing the vision of the Beauty of the Tauhid of Lord and drowning in the Visualization of the Name Allah the Essence. Masti: spiritual drunkenness. Darwaish: a Sufi Aspirant.
