You have now had a vision of the distant shore of which you had heard so much. (i.e. you are now face to face with death). Latif says: “You did not remember Allah (at night time) when people were asleep! You were negligent; and now you have brought the boat into the eddying surf that you are facing.” O Prophet! Pray save from gale this rickety and riddled boat that has degenerated in aging. This galley of ineffective folk is now entrusted to you on the ocean. You may be pleased to take your followers to their destination - Purbandar (i.e. Paradise).

See now the dreadful shore, of which you heard before,
Like others you slept, Lord you remember no more,
In wanton mood, the ship you brought in mid-ocean's stream,
Oh Lord! preserve thou this old precarious ship,
Ship of weak ones in waters wild under your trust,
Oh Lord! may you safely take us all to the port.

You finally saw today the steep coast you had been hearing of,
Lateef says, you remained forgetful while people slept,
By your carelessness you have driven the ship into the deep water,
O Lord, even as the ship becomes a hulk, protect it from a breaker,
This worn out ship in water is now left in your care,
O Sayyad, lead all your companions to Puranbandar.
