Mausoleum and Urs

Compositions

In the closing lines of one of his Punjabi compositions, Pīr Shams emphasizes that his ''ginān'' is addressed to the world of spirits. He advises his listeners to fight and overcome their constantly changing minds so their spirits can be enlightened by his teachings. Failure to understand the deeper meaning of the ''gināns'' will cause the 'entire life of that heedless one o belost'.
