Apne sang ralain piare
Beloved, draw me into yourself
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Gather me into you, beloved, gather me in.
अपने संग रलाईं प्यारे, अपने संग रलाईं ।
You yourself began this love, with such delight.
पहलों नेहुं लगाइआ सी तैं आपे चाईं चाईं ।
Was it I, or you, who loved? See your pledge through.
मैं लाइआ ए कि तुद्ध लाइआ ए आपनी ओड़ निभाईं ।
On the road, the woods hold robbers, the forest countless fears.
राह पवां तां धाड़े बेले, जंगल लक्ख बलाईं ।
Leopards and spotted beasts roar their menace.
भौकन चीते ते चितमुचित्ते भौकन करन अदाईं ।
The world has crossed to your far shore; a thousand perils line the bank.
पार तेरे जगत तर चढ़िआ कंढे लक्ख बलाईं ।
My heart shakes with fear: bring this boat across.
हौल दिले दा थर थर कम्बदा बेड़ा पार लंघाईं ।
Serve the true Lord; let these prayers be heard.
कर लई बन्दगी रब्ब सच्चे दी पवन कबूल दुआईं ।
Bulleh, lift the veil: show the king of kings.
बुल्ल्हे शाह ते शाहां दा मुक्खड़ा घुंघट खोल्ह विखाईं ।
Gather me into you, beloved, gather me in.
अपने संग रलाईं प्यारे, अपने संग रलाईं ।
