بُلّھے شاہBULLEH SHAHTHE LIVING VERSE
FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

bullhiā khā harām te paṛh shukarānā

Beyond the tally of merit

Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.

Eat the forbidden, give your thanks; turn from your hoard of merit.

बुल्ल्हआ खा हराम ते पड़्ह शुकराना, कर तौबा तरक सवाबों ।

Leave the mosque and stand apart; let your soul slip free of dread.

छोड़ मसीत ते पकड़ किनारा , तेरी छुट्टसी जान अज़ाबों ।

Read not the letter that will bind your soul to endless answering.

उह हरफ़ ना पड़्हीए मत , रहसी जान जवाबों ।

Come, Bulleh, to the place where none forbids the wine.

बुल्ल्हे शाह चल ओथे चलीए, जित्थे मन्हा ना करन शराबों ।

THE POEM, GIVEN VOICE

One verse. Many voices.

Stay with the words.
Then hear how they travel.
