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 ।
