Qasidah Ghauthiyah Translated by

Al Imam Sultan Muhyuddin Sheikh Sayyid Mubarik Ali Jilani Hashimi 

 

His love served me with cups of union, thus I became intoxicated thus I ordered

the wine,

1

To advance towards me which it did, While still in the cups though intoxicated, yet I let

my friends partake it.

2

I, as the Supreme Saint (Ghaus) addressed all the pole stars get ye ready,

join my troops and army like, enter my court.

3

0, my soldiers show courage and come join me in the tavern and drink because the Cup bearer of Islam is giving me in abundance the wine in cups of union.

4

Yes, you drank the least when I had drunk all. Thus you know not my High Station

and proximity and union ‘with Him.

5

High are the places of many but none shall ever reach station of mine.

6

Before Allah with Allah, my union is without parallel. He turns me from one

state into another sufficient is He for me.

7

Amongst all Sheikhs, of the world, I am like a White Hawk Amongst Wallees and Men of high order. None had been given

status like mine.

8

He has bestowed upon me Unique robes of Wilayat, embroidered with flowers of

dignity and placed a crown on my head, of Perfection.

9

The ancient secret (of attaining oneness) revealed, He to me, and blessed me with

seal of honour every wish was thus fulfilled.

10

Allah had given me command, above all pole-stars of the world. So, my command is obeyed in the past, present and future.

11

If I divulge The ancient secret upon oceans, All shall become dry and vanish.

12

If I divulge The ancient secret upon the mountain It shall, then rent asunder with

bewilderment and turn to dust.

13

If I divulge The ancient secret to the fire it shall become cold because of my secret

states.

14

If I divulge my secret to a dead one even it shall rise with divine wonder.

15

Each month each period arrives in the world. Before departing it presents itself before happening Er’ appearing in the

world it comes to me.

16

Well before hand I am intimated about all what takes place and happens. 0’

materialist; do not quarrel. This is all from Allah.

17

0’ my follower, gather courage and be pleased, remain fearless and in different. Achieve what you wish, do what you like.

Great is my Name.

18

O’ my followers fear not. Allah is my Patron. He has given highest station and I had achieved my goal.

19

Trumpet had been blown between heaven and earth announcing my station of honour with criers running before

announcing grace and benediction.

20

All the cities of Allah fall in my kingdom and are subjects of my law. My time

and affairs have been cleared even before Time.

21

When I beheld all the universes of Allah

the Great, I saw them interlinked and joined and small as an atom

(Worthlessness of this world and its pleasures)

22

All Wallees step in, steps of some Messenger but I place my foot in the foot

of Mohammad.

23

0, my followers, fear not thy enemy, ‘causeduring war I slay well.

24

Jilan is my abode; reviver of the faith is my title. Banners proclaiming my High station are fluttering atop all mountain

peaks.

25

House of Blessed Hassan I belong to. And my esoteric station is at Makhdaa’. With my steps above the necks of all saints.

26

Abdul Qadir Jilani is well- known name of mine my ancestor is the perfect Master of

All.
