بُلّھے شاہBULLEH SHAHTHE LIVING VERSE
FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Ab lagan lagi keh kariye

What shall I do with this longing?

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

Love has caught me; what can I do?

अब लगन लगी किह करिए ?

Neither live, nor even die.

ना जी सकीए ते ना मरीए ।

Listen to the words I speak:

तुम सुनो हमारी बैना,

No peace by night, no peace by day.

मोहे रात दिने नहीं चैना,

Without my love, I cannot bear a single moment.

हुन पी बिन पलक ना सरीए ।

Love has caught me; what can I do?

अब लगन लगी किह करीए ?

Separation keeps its fire alight;

इह अगन बिरहों दी जारी,

Will someone ease this love in me?

कोई हमरी प्रीत निवारी,

Without that face, how can I cross?

बिन दरशन कैसे तरीए ?

Love has caught me; what can I do?

अब लगन लगी किह करीए ?

Bulleh is caught in grievous trouble;

बुल्ल्हे पई मुसीबत भारी,

Someone bring a remedy.

कोई करो हमारी कारी,

How shall I bear a pain like this?

इक अजेहे दुक्ख कैसे जरीए ?

Love has caught me; what can I do?

अब लगन लगी किह करीए ?
