bullhiā dharamasālā vich nāhīn
Hold to the true door
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Not in the holy shelter where believers lay their offerings.
बुल्ल्हआ धरमसाला विच नाहीं, जित्थे मोमन भोग पवाए।
The mosque gives you a shove; its keeper gives a scowl.
विच्च मसीतां धक्के मिलदे, मुल्लां त्यूड़ी पाए ।
The rich place men of power before their bolted doors.
दौलतमन्दां ने बूहआं उत्ते, रोबदार बहाए ।
Hold to the true God's doorway: there the heart's grief falls away.
पकड़ दरवाज़ा रब्ब सच्चे दा,जित्थों दुक्ख दिल दा मिट जाए।
بلھے شاہ
