Ginan-Hathi Hathi Parabat
This ginan is written and composed by Pir Shamsh. His message in it is, first of all do not be egotist because you do not know when it is time for you to leave this earth i.e. die. The words “Hathi Hathi parabat tolande bande - samunder guunt bhare, aise jodhe mati rale bande, tu kyun ghirabh kare” explains us that there were giants and men with extraordinary strength in the past who could weigh 2 mountains in their 2 hands, and drink the water of the sea in a gulp. These giants have become soil in the earth i.e. died and buried, what are you so proud about. This of course is an exaggeration but the message is to lose your EGO and become HUMBLE.
The ginan goes on to say that you are here today and tomorrow you won’t be here. At the moment which is determined for you to die, you will not even get time to blink your eyes and if you are eating, the food will remain in your mouth. These things have happened in the past. You might have seen some show on television a person dies with eyes open.
Then the Pir gives another scenario. The Pir says that the person with whom you were talking and laughing, dies instantly in front of you. Then you bury that person and a state of confusion sets in.
The Pir requests the Imam to give salvation to all believers and at the same time advises the believers to be regular in Dasond which will help to get salvation i.e. when your soul lives this body it will live in the world of spirits till you become ONE WITH GOD (YOUR REAL HOME). This is the journey of every human being and other living things.
“From God we have come, and to God shall we return.”
