A sufi saint namly "Shamas Faqeer" had written a beautiful Kalam "Zaatas Sipatas"
Zaatas sipatas chai milwan
Khasul Khass chue manz khassan
Vani deu har zarmaa chus tchen
Khasul Khass chue manz khassan
Sheshpash trupeth shishkal wazan
Ishaar tamkue che husharan
Wade te deutnem waade farooshan
Khasul Khass chue manz khassan
Tchandul zaleth pake paeuv soun
Kah wache kholnam woustadan
Houvem bazaar roovum zoun
Khasul Khass chue manz khassan
Summu bukmum aaye partan
Man samad naje sak kar tan
Kul shayun yarjoon illah aslan
Khasul Khass chue manz khassan
Shamas faqeer aabe hayat chen
Zindagi tamche chai qaemlen
Dev seet thaivnai ahle safhan
Khasul Khass chue manz khassan
Translation of this sufi Kalam by Maheena Zehra
Thy identity and existence have merged together,
Because uniqueness gets manifested through the unique.
Thee take a look, every way is connected,
Because uniqueness gets manifested through the unique..
The intimation of this call is to awake you of slumber,
To ye surprise, the deceiver made the promise,
Because uniqueness gets manifested through the unique..
Though the brightening light purified the gold,
But the teacher too caught it by the taunting thoughts,
That also made ye lose the merchandise of happiness,
Because uniqueness gets manifested through the unique..
O' Ye! Recite the verse "Sumun Bukmun",
Ye! Recall the Mansaman Najeed,
And, Kul'le Shayun Yarja'oon illa Aslan,
Because uniqueness gets manifested through the unique..
The wanderer Shams shall drink the Aab 'e' Hayaat, Indeed the overcome of thirst for truth and the completion of life lies in it,
Thou shalt be placed in the row with the pious creations,
Because uniqueness gets manifested through the unique..
Thy identity and existence have merged together,
Because uniqueness gets manifested through the unique,
Because uniqueness gets manifested through the unique...
