Wāh kyā martabah ay Ghawth hai bālā terā
Ūñche ūñchoñ ke saroñ se qadam aálā terā
O how elevated your station is O Ghawth!
Your feet are superior to the heads of other greats
---
Sar bhalā kyā koyi jāney ke hai kaysā terā
Awliyā mal'te haiñ āñkheñ woh hai talwā terā
Who can know the greatness of your head?
When saints place the dust of your feet upon their eyes
---
Kyā da'be jis pe himāyat kā ho panjah terā
Sheyr ko khat're meñ lātā nahīñ kuttā terā
How can he be harmed who has your protective hand upon him?
Even a lion is endangered by a dog that isn't yours*
* a dog that didn't belong to the Ghawth would sit outside his home. A saint once came with his lion to meet the Ghawth and this dog killed the lion. So Alahazrat is saying, if a dog that you don't even own can harm a lion - then what about us who are your servants?
