Pir
Inspirer of my mind,
consoler of my heart,
healer of my spirit,
Thy presence lifteth me from earth to heaven,

Thy words flow as the sacred river,
Thy thought riseth as a divine spring,
Thy tender feelings waken sympathy in my heart.
Beloved teacher, thy very being is forgiveness.

The clouds of doubt and fear are scattered by thy piercing glance;
All ignorance vanishes in thy illuminating presence;
A new hope is born in my heart by breathing thy peaceful atmosphere.

O inspiring guide through life's puzzling ways,
In thee I feel abundance of blessing.

Nabi
A torch in the darkness,
A staff during my weakness,
A rock in the weariness of life,
Thou, my Master, makest earth a paradise.

Thy thought giveth me unearthly joy,
Thy light illuminateth my life's path,
Thy words inspire me with divine wisdom.
I follow in Thy footsteps, which lead me to the eternal goal.

Comforter of the broken-hearted,
Support of those in need,
Friend of the lovers of truth,
Blessed Master, Thou art the Prophet of God.

Rasul
Warner of coming dangers,
Wakener of the world from sleep,
Deliverer of the Message of God,
Thou art our Savior.

The sun at the dawn of creation,
The light of the whole universe,
The fulfillment of God's purpose,
Thou the life eternal, we seek refuge in Thy loving enfoldment.

Spirit of Guidance,
Source of all beauty,
and Creator of harmony,
Love, Lover, and Beloved Lord, Thou art our divine ideal.
