Hathi Hathi Parabat - Pir Shams - Ismaili Ginan

Ismaili Ginan "Hathi Hathi Parabat" by Peer Shams

Eji Hathi hathi parabat tolande bande
samudar ghont bhare,
ese jodhe matti rale bande,
tu kiyun girabh kare …1

O man! Those who weighed mountains with their hands and those who drank the ocean in one drought, such brave (men) blended with the earth. O Man! Why do you become proud?

Ali bhaj gafal bande chalana hi sansar
Ali bhaj lobhi bande chalana hi sansar

O oblivious man! Remember Ali (a.s.), this world will come to an end or you will go away from the world. O greedy man! Remember Ali (a.s.), this world is going to end or you will go away from the world.

Eji Aaj hoti kal na hove bande,
kal hoti aaj ja ho
ankh phadka’nn na mile bande,
mume rahiyo re giroh …2

O man! What is possible today will not be so tomorrow, what is to be done tomorrow, do it today. O Man! The opportunity to even blink an eyelid will not be given and the morsel will remain in the mouth.

Eji Jin sang has has bolane bande
ek ghaddi na rahiyo;
khaandh utthaa kar gaad de bande,
ulat palat bhayo …3

O man! With whom (we) used to converse laughingly, will not remain even for a moment. O Man! Will lift him on the shoulder and bury him, everything will turn upside down (or topsy-turvy).

Eji Gur ginaan boliyaa daataa Pir Shams
ya shah jumlo langaaie tun paar;
dasond diyo mere momano,
to utro pele paar …5

O man! Data Pir Shams (r.a.) has said this ginan, O Lord! Take the whole jamat across to the other shore. O My believers! (If) you will pay Dasond you will reach the other shore.
