Translation:

1. From the beginning of time, God the transcendent has existed, without qualities or form, by Himself. O Lord! You are our real origin, though our forms have become separate. O my Lord! Be gracious, the weak have you as their refuge.

2. O Lord! Countless ages have passed since we have been adopting forms; an era has passed since we have been entreating. O Lord! Bring about the union.

7. O Lord! Throughout ages I have waited in hope but you have not wed me. Now I am in the prime of my youth, so preserve my honour o Lord of the three worlds!

8 . O Lord! I have come with the pots filled with water on my head. Take down my pots o Lord! For fear you may return my pots, I plead for your forgiveness of my sins.

9. O Lord! Cast a veil to cover me for I am full of faults. I am weak and dependent, and my honour lies with you o Lord.

11. O Lord! In the four eras I have wandered in countless forms, but no marriage has taken place. O my Lord! Have the wedding performed. O Lord Ali (a.s.), be gracious.

16. O Lord! Do not look at my faults; I am sinful. O Lord! Cover me with your skirt (or stole), I am just a (female) child.

17. O Lord! Mother and father gave me birth and offered me to your protection (or refuge). Now preserve the honor of holding my hand. O savior, save (me).

19. O Lord! Preserve the honor of holding my hand; O Lord! Reveal the secret of your love. Marry me with love; I am sinful.

24. O Lord! I am tired of walking continuously, now I (simply) can’t walk. Lord! Do not look at our faults; now I cannot remain like this Lord.

25. O Lord! As a fish suffers without water so does a soul without the Lord. Bring along the provisions for wedding; do not delay even slightly Lord.

29. O Lord! Preserve my honor; how can I submit (myself) to another? Only your proposal (of marriage) has come, how can I turn to another?

30. O Lord! I humbly entreat thus; Lord, listen attentively. Mercifully forgive me. O Lord! You are the refuge of the shelterless.

32. O Lord! How long can I keep on saying? O Lord, you are the master of your own free will. O Lord! Be gracious and meet me so that my honour is preserved.

35. O Lord! I have been entreating since the beginning of time and remember you in each breath. You alone dwell in every part of me (in such a way that) all my sins will be removed.

44. O Lord! Set up a canopy in front of everybody and marry (publicly). O Lord! Marry in manifestation so that I may enjoy the marital bliss.

50. O Brother! Pir Hasan Kabirdin (r.a.) becoming a woman supplicates; I hold on to the Lord. If you recognize the spiritual master in the present era, then you will never be separated from him.
