بُلّھے شاہBULLEH SHAHTHE LIVING VERSE
FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Alif Allah nal ratta dil mera

My heart is dyed with Alif, Allah

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

Alif, Allah: my heart is dyed in One.

अलफ़ अल्लाह नाल रत्ता दिल मेरा,

Of be, the second letter, I know nothing.

मैनूं 'बे' दी ख़बर ना काई ।

Be brings me no understanding;

'बे' पढ़दियां मैनूं समझ ना आवे,

Alif gives its sweetness to my tongue.

लज्जत अलफ़ दी आई ।

Ayn and ghayn remain unknown;

'ऐना ते गैना' नूं समझ ना जाणा,

Alif has told me all.

गल्ल अलफ़ समझाई ।

Bulleh, the word of alif comes true,

बुल्ल्हिआ कौल अलफ़ दे पूरे,

And washes clean the heart.

जिहड़े दिल दी करन सफाई ।
