Show Your beauteous face, my Lord, I am your maiden. Attending on You, with joined hands pleading: at every breath be close by me, my Lord.
At every breath be present in my heart. Be not distant in the space, even of a single breath.
Distant You are not, my Lord, I do not think of you as distant. Why, here you ae speaking to me in my heart of hearts.
My Lord, only You know the limits of your limitlessness. You are my great protector, my Lord. Age after age, my Lord redeemed his devotees (excellent for ever is the path of truth).

Dhruv, Pahelaaj, Rukhmugat the king. Harischandr, Taara Raañi, Rohidaas the prince: true to their vow, they were sold from hand to hand;
The five Paandvas and Maata Kunta, we should say, and Sati Draupadi with them too; the great Pir Sadardin, master of twelve crores, with the infinite crores going with Pir Hasan Kabirdin, to whom the Immaculate Lord gave His hand.

When the immaculate Lord comes to be the groom, He will be the consort of the universal bride. On that day, my Lord. Summon me by Your side. Be sure, my Lord, to take my hands in Yours. Says Bibi Imam Begum: Listen my Lord, this much, just this much, do I ask for you my Lord.
