Translation
1. O brother! The lion has forgotten its self and remained as a goat in the company of the goats. In such illusion it has forgotten its reality.
R. Leave all illusions and say “Ali Ali”. Ali is and Ali will be. Keep such thought in your heart. Leave all illusions and say “Ali Ali”.
2. O brother! Eliminate such illusions so that the lion realize its origin and the thought of being a goat is removed from its heart. It will never fall in such illusion again.
3. O brother! All have fallen into ignorance, and in egotism have lost their beloved. All of a sudden the angel of death will catch them.
4. O brother! Remain in the company of the true master so that the ignorance is removed. Then you will see the reality of the heart.
5. O brother! Remove the illusion so that you recognize your Lord and will realize yourself also. Follow whatever Pir Shams (r.a.) says.
