ReferenceTranslated

Man kunto maula,
Fa Ali-un maula
Man kunto maula.
Dara dil-e dara dil-e dar-e daani.
Hum tum tanana nana, nana nana ray
Yalali yalali yala, yalayala ray Man tunko maula……

TRANSLATION-
“Whoever accepts me as a master,
Ali is his master too.”(Dara: a mystic word representing the essence of the heart)
In the heart’s abode, through the mystery’s guide.
Hum tum tanana nana, nana nana ray
(These are repetitive sounds without a specific meaning)
Yalali yalali yala, yalayala ray
(These are also repetitive sounds without a specific meaning)
I am the master…”
