Like DU'A KARAW-WI, CHHANTA ceremony is undertaken for forgiveness of our sins and therefore we must be truly repentant.

We want Mowlana Hazar Imam to forgive us our sins and so we must really feel sorry for having committed them. We must sincerely and humbly pray for his forgiveness and take an oath in our hearts that we will not commit the sins again.

On performing the Chhanta ceremony we must go very respectfully before Mukhisaheb or Kamadiasaheb and kneel down before him. Joining our hands in seeking forgiveness, we must say: "TOBO, TOBO, YA SHAH BANDO GUNEHGAR GAT BAKSHE SHAH PIR BAKSHE" which means

  "I REPENT, I REPENT, O LORD! I AM A SINFUL PERSON; IF THE JAMAT FORGIVES, SHAH PIR (HAZAR IMAM) FORGIVES."

To this Mukhisaheb will say:
  "SHAH PIR BAKSHE" which means,
  "SHAH PIR (HAZAR IMAM) FORGIVES."

We must repeat "TOBO, TOBO" a second time and a third time, and each time we have said this, Mukhisaheb will say "SHAH PIR BAKSHE". Then Mukhisaheb will dip his fingers in the water over
which a prayer of Nade Ali has been said and sprinkle the water thrice on the face. Each time he puts the "Chanta", he will say 'FARMAN' to which we must say "YA ALI, YA MUHAMMAD." Then we must take the hand of Mukhisaheb very respectfully and kiss it.
