FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

bullhiā rang mahallīn jā chaṛhiun

What the world has given

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

You entered painted palaces; they asked if all was well.

बुल्ल्हआ रंग महल्लीं जा चड़्हउं, लोकी पुच्छन आखन खैर ।

The world paid out its wages: a blackened face, blue feet.

असां इह कुझ दुनियां तों वट्ट्या,मूंह काला ते नीले पैर ।

THE POEM, GIVEN VOICE

One verse. Many voices.

Stay with the words.
Then hear how they travel.
