I. 121. tohi mori lagan lagāye re phakīr wā

To Thee Thou hast drawn my love, O Fakir!

I was sleeping in my own chamber, and Thou didst awaken me; striking me with Thy voice, O Fakir!

I was drowning in the deeps of the ocean of this world, and Thou didst save me: upholding me with Thine arm, O Fakir!
