GINAN RECITATIONS
"Ugamiya Sohi Din Aathamia" - Shamshu Jamal (With Lyrics, Translations, Music & Animation)
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrMXGjYn4rg
Ugamiya Sohi Din Aathamia
The sun that rises sets
JollyGul.com presents Sayyid Muhammad Shah's "Ugamiya Sohi Din Aathamia" ginan beautifully recited by the late Shamshu Jamal.
The ginan delivers a powerful message - none of us, including the powerful and the rich can escape the ultimate reckoning after death; which is an absolute equalizer. Our time on this earth is limited and we shall all have to eventually account for our deeds and misdeeds. And the true power of pardon, at that point, only belongs to our Lord.
JollyGul.com is presenting this video to the Jamat with running lyrics, translations, animation and music and as part of our special tribute series to the late Shamshu Jamal.

Sarag Bhavan Thi Maatti Mangaai (Ginan)
Sarag Bhavan Thi Maatti Mangaai
The clay was brought from heaven
This profound Ismaili Ginan "Sarag Bhavan Thi Maatti Mangaai" attributed to Sayyid Fazal Shah, reflects on the transient nature of human life and the importance of spiritual awareness.
The ginan begins by recalling the creation of humanity, symbolizing the body as a form molded from clay with life breathed into it by the Divine. It highlights the soul's journey, reminding us that we are travelers in this world, coming from afar and eventually returning. There is a sense of uncertainty about the final reckoning before God.
"Sarag Bhavan Thi Maatti Mangaai" track is part of the album "Ilm-e-Maarifat" produced by Taufiq Karmali.

"Navroz Na Din Sohamna" - Taufiq & Nasreen Karmali
Navroz Na Din Sohamna
Beautiful Day of Navroz
Taufiq and Nasreen Karmali present a duet version of Sayyed Fateh Ali Shah's popular Navroz ginan "Navroz Na Din Sohamna".
This ginan has a beautiful story. The composer of the ginan Sayyed Fateh Ali Shah travelled from Sind to Persia to meet Hazrat Imam Shah Khalilullah our 45th Imam.
On arriving at the destination on the day of Navroz, he learnt that the Imam had gone to the woods on a hunting expedition. Sayyed was disappointed but not in a mood to give up. He went into the woods in search of his Imam, was able to connect and was rewarded with a meeting - deedar - in the woods at the Fort.
In this ginan, Sayyed Fateh Ali Shah relates the combined experience of the zaheri deedar - the exoteric or physical glimpse or meeting, granted by the 45th Imam, Shah Khalilullah, and the inner joy of contentment and ecstasy that he experienced with the bestowal of Noorani - the spiritual or esoteric grace.
JollyGul.com is presenting this video to the Jamat with lyrics and translations as part of Navroz 2021 Celebrations on our platform.
Enjoy this beautiful and soulful duet rendition of the ginan by Taufiq and Nasreen.

Khedo Khedo Jemani Naavdi
Khedo Khedo Jemani Naavdi
Skillfully Sail The Boat of Your Being
Pir Sadardin reminds us: Life is like navigating a vast ocean, and what really determines your journey is your inner character. Truth, generosity, self-control, and awareness act as your compass—while greed, ego, anger, and illusion quietly try to pull you off course.

Shah Naa Khat Aaviya | My Lord’s Letter Has Come | Ismaili Ginan | Sayyid Imam Shah | JollyGul
This ginan by Sayyid Imam Shah expresses the joy of receiving a message from the Imam and the deep longing it awakens within the soul. Even as the heart overflows with happiness, there is an intense desire to be physically close to the Beloved.
It expresses a spiritual feeling—the pull between inner devotion and the limits of the human body, reminding us that true connection goes beyond distance, yet the yearning to be near always remains.

Jogi So Jo Jugaa Jug Jogi | A Yogi For All Ages | Ismaili Ginan | Pir Hasan Kabiruddin | JollyGul
In the ginan “Jogi So Jo”, Pir Hasan Kabiruddin cuts sharply through the hypocrisy of outward religious display. Using the figure of the jogi, he declares that true devotion is not found in earrings, ash, or visible symbols, but in an awakened and inwardly transformed mind. The Pir calls the seeker to wake up now - to abandon false piety and recognize the Divine presence that enters the heart quietly, not through ornament, but through awareness and truth.

Kahin Na Jaave • A Song Inspired by the Ginan Din Ki Baat Kahi Na Jaave | From One Soul
KAHIN NA JAAVE
A contemporary song inspired by the Ginan “Din Ki Baat Kahi Na Jaave” by Sayyid Hasham Shah (r.a.).
Ginan passages and translations remain close to Ginan Central, University of Saskatchewan. The English lyrics are original reflections, not translations. Any imperfections in pronunciation or transliteration are mine and offered with humility and respect.
────────────────────
ABOUT THE GINAN
The Ginan explores a spiritual reality beyond words, the mystery of love, inward wakefulness, the passing nature of worldly attachments, and the call toward concentration and the Satgur’s path.
────────────────────
GINAN PASSAGES & TRANSLATION
Din ki baat kahi na jaave
Lakh karo to haath na aave
The reality of religion cannot be described; despite all efforts, it cannot be obtained.
Neh agansu deh birani
Prem katha kine na jani
With the fire of love my being does not seem my own; no one could understand the tale of love.
Khol kahun to koi na paave
Tare ginta rahen bihave
Even if I narrate in detail no one can understand; one will pass a sleepless night trying to understand.
Bhul re mansun hansi jo aave
Nenu mund nis din sove
The stray heart makes me laugh; with eyes shut it sleeps day and night [remaining inwardly asleep].
Nehe kanaksun kesa kije
Dhan mad mata joban sije
Of what use is it to love gold? Youth passes away in intoxication of the pride of wealth.
Neno nir mukh bhare osasa
Rog badave sije jo masa
Tears flow from the eyes and sighs from the mouth. The disease becomes severe and the body is wasting away.
Ek chit, ek man
With concentration, with one mind [think of Him].
Ek chit ek man karo andesha
Dhundho marag Satgur desha
With concentration and single-mindedness think of Him. Seek the path leading in the direction of the true guide.
Aya marag Satgur kera
Janam gamave kyun khave phera
When you have found the path of the true spiritual guide, then why do you waste your life and fall into cycles?

LYRICS
[Female Ginan]
Din ki baat kahi na jaave
Lakh karo to haath na aave
Neh agansu deh birani
Prem katha kine na jani
[English Verse]
I've looked for words to hold it,
I've reached for something sure,
But love won't give its secrets
To hands still reaching out for more.
[Ginan Hook]
Din ki baat...
Kahi na jaave...

Bhul re mansun hansi jo aave
Nenu mund nis din sove
[English Verse]
You can spend the night still searching,
Count the stars until they're gone,
But what good is all that looking
If the eyes within sleep on?
[Interwoven Refrain]
You can search...
Ek chit...
You can wonder...
Ek man...
You can search...
Ek chit...
You can wonder...
Ek man...
You can knock on the mind's door...

But the heart knows something
Words were never made for...

Nehe kanaksun kesa kije
Dhan mad mata joban sije
Neno nir mukh bhare osasa
Rog badave sije jo masa
[English Verse]
We spend our days collecting
What will never be for keeps,
Filling our hands with fleeting treasure
While the quiet soul still weeps.
Then the mirror starts reminding us:
Forever isn't now.
[Refrain]
Ek chit...
Ek man...
Ek chit...

Janam gamave kyun khave phera
[English Verse]
I don't need to see the whole road,
I just need to know which way,
One heart, one mind, one direction,
One more step along the way.
Kyun khave phera...
Khave phera...
Kyun khave phera...
Phera...
Phera...
Phera...
[Refrain]
Ek chit...
Ek man...
Ek chit...
Ek man...
Ek chit, ek man...

[Final English Verse]
Maybe wisdom isn't louder,
Maybe truth won't call your name,
Maybe all it ever asked you
Was to listen when it came.
Through the questions, through the searching,
Through the roads that brought us here,
What if what we've sought forever
Has been whispering all these years?
[Final Reprise]
