āpṇe tan dī khabar nā kāī
Who can bring news of the beloved?
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
I cannot read my own small frame; who brings my lover's news?
आपने तन दी ख़बर ना काई, साजन दी ख़बर ल्यावे कौण।
Neither dust nor fire am I, neither water nor wind.
ना हूं ख़ाकी ना हूं आतश , ना हूं पानी पउन ।
Stones knock within the leather vessel: fools ask whose voice they hear.
कुप्पे विच रोड़ खड़कदे , मूरख आखन बोले कौन ।
Bulla, in every heart the Lord, like salt through kneaded flour.
बुल्ल्हा साईं घट घट रव्या,ज्युं आटे विच लौन ।
بلھے شاہ
