From a land afar the merchant has come along. Get together and make deals with him.. ..1

Sitting, sleeping, going about, take the Saheb’s name, take the Saheb’s name.. ..2

Give away in the Saheb’s name what is dearest in your home. Give a grain here, you will take a hundred and twenty-five thousand-fold over there.. ..4

As for the blind, he will not see the moonlight. Being told of it, he won’t believe it.. ..5

Be careful, don’t ever speak of ones faults, even if seen by your own eyes, why speak of their faults when you have so many of your own.. ..6

Bring pearls, the merchant has come over. Go pick up the precious pearls.
Do not trade with just one who gives up jewels for the sake of glass.. ..9

Make a fair profit, which the fire will not scorch, the wind will not sway, the waters will not sing, the king will not tax.. ..11

Throwing open the treasury, there sits my Lord. Listen to him speak of what is high and what is low.. ..12

With scales in his hand, my Lord (Saheb Raajo) is ready: bring out your goods, let’s tell their worth.. ..13

Pir Hasan Kabirdin said these words:
Believe truly in our Lord (Swaami Raajo).. ..14
