Ginans ((ウルドゥー語:گنان), (グジャラート語:ગિનાન); derived from (サンスクリット:ज्ञान) ''Gnana'') are devotional hymns or poems recited by Shia Ismaili Muslims. It was originally an oral rendition mostly by Pirs, first among whom to come to South Asia was Pir Satgurnoor in the 12th century. Ginans are composed in many languages of South Asia, especially Gujarati, Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi and many more. They are based on Verses from the Quran. Like Ginans, Qaseedas are recited in Arabic, Persian or Tajik by Ismailis in Central Asia, Iran and Syria. Ismailis from the subcontinent recite these as well as Arabic and Persian qusidas which are recited before or after the prayer in the mosques. (Ginan Central ) is a web portal developed at the University of Saskatchewan Library to safeguard ginans and promote research and education. Example Translation of a Ginan (Other examples available (here )): ''Sahebaji tun more man bhave: Verses I-VIII'' My lord, My heart is fond of you. I think of no-one else. None else pleases my heart. My lord, My heart is fond of you. So readily, my lord, You give me Whatever I ask of you. You indulge me In so many ways, My lord. In all four ages, I went about, Looking hard. I found none To match you, my lord. My lord, my heart Is fond of you. Come, come, My maiden friends, Let us go To view the groom. He's the one, the beloved I've attained. He comes to my home, The beloved, He but for whom A minute is hard to pass. How should we call him Unhappy - He whose lord Is one such as this? How should we find fault With the merciful? What's written In our karma Is what we shall have. Ram and Raheman Are but one Deity. Of this mystery, The fool is quite unaware. Says Saiyad Mohamadshah: I am bonded to you, My lord. Leaving you, At what other door Am I to knock? My lord, My heart is fond of you. I think of no-one else. None else pleases my heart. My lord, My heart is fond of you.
