Eji	Khir ne khaand girath amrat bhojan vira Sant tañe mukhe daiyaa(n) ho jire bhaiya ...................................	6
O momins	Brothers submit rice pudding, sugar, ghee, water and wheat to the Lord, O dear brothers. [All above are symbolic of the ingredients of sukreet (good deeds). The symbolic significance of each ingredient is: kheer - milk symbolises 'zikr' which is prayer and remembrance of the Lord. Just as milk is a nourishing and health giving food for our body, so also 'zikr' is the real food for the soul which nourishes and enables it to grow into God. khaand - sugar symbolises 'Sat' the Truth which is always sweet (to the Lord although bitter to us) hence compared to sugar. grath - 'ghee' symbolises 'Imaan' , faith under all circumstances. 'Ghee' in a vessel will always remain 'ghee' no matter how much it is heated hence it symbolises steadfastness in faith. amrat - 'nectar', 'aab-e-shafa' symbolises smooth flow of patience without which virtue is impossible. It can also signify purity of heart and mind. bhojan - wheat symbolises 'khamiyaa', tolerance by virtue of it's ability to withstand great physical stress upon it in the process of it's transformation from grain into flour. It retains all it's properties of food inspite of being crushed between the grinding stones.] ........................	6
Eji	Dholiye talaaiye(n) Shahne podhan dije vira Zina zia vaaho dholaiyaa(n) ho jire bhaiya ...................................	7

Eji	Eso ginan Pir bhanaave Sadardin vira Mere momanbhaiku(n) bahesht likhaiyaa(n) ho jire bhaiya ...................................	9
O momins	Brothers, this Divine knowledge and wisdom is taught by Peer Sadardin. My Lord has established paradise for my devoted momins, O dear brothers. ........................	9

Part 2: Dhikr Tasbi
Repentance is the mechanism to return to our Creator therefore it is appropriate to use the tasbi "Astaghafirullahi Rabbi Wa Atubu Ilayhi (Verily, I seek the forgiveness of Allah, who is my Lord and Sustainer, and I turn to Him in repentance)" to implement this Divine command. The recitation of this tasbi will lead to gradual purification and the fruition of Noor Mowlana Sultan Muhammad Shah's blessing in which he said that a day will come when you will be able to abstain from committing sins. With this understanding, let us start to recite the Astaghafirullahi Rabbi Wa Atubu Ilayhi tasbi (Verily, I sincere seek the forgiveness of Allah, who is my Lord and Sustainer, and I turn to Him in repentance) with utmost sincerity and humility.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Astaghafirullahi Rabbi Wa Atubu Ilayhi
Verily, I seek the forgiveness of Allah, who is my Lord and Sustainer
and I turn to Him in repentance.
