The palace of four elements
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Of fourfold matter, a palace made; you entered and sat within.
अरबा-अनासर महल बणायो, विच वड़ बैठा आपे ।
You are the girls, you are the boys, the parents who call them home.
आपे कुड़ियां आपे नींगर, आपे बणना एं मापे ।
You die, you live, you raise the cry of mourning for yourself.
आपे मरें ते आपे जीवें, आपे करें स्यापे ।
Bulla, in all God's wondrous work, the One reveals the One.
बुल्ल्हआ जो कुझ कुदरत रब्ब दी, आपे आप सिंञापे ।
