بُلّھے شاہBULLEH SHAHTHE LIVING VERSE
FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Ab ham gumm hue prem nagar ke shahar

Lost in the city of love

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

Now I have vanished in love's city.

अब हम गुंम हूए, प्रेम नगर के शहर ।

I search myself: no head, no hand, no foot remains.

आपने आप नूं सोध रिहा हूं, ना सिर हाथ ना पैर ।

Selfhood fell; my true state dawned, and all was well.

खुदी खोई अपना पद चीता, तब होई गल्ल ख़ैर ।

The old home's bonds fell loose; who makes the heart without a foe?

लत्थे पगड़े पहले घर थीं, कौन करे निरवैर ?

Bulla, my lord fills both the worlds; nowhere do I see an other.

बुल्ल्हा शहु है दोहीं जहानीं, कोई ना दिसदा ग़ैर ।
