Bullhe nūn samjhāvaṇ āīān
They came to reason with Bullah
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Sisters and sisters-in-law came to reason with Bullah.
बुल्ल्हे नूं समझावण आईआं, भैणां ते भरजाईआं ।
“Hear us, Bullah; release that Arain's robe.”
मन्न लै बुल्लिआ साडा कहणा, छड्ड दे पल्ला राईआं ।
“What disgrace you bring upon the Prophet's line!”
आल नबी औलाद नबी नूं, तूं की लीकां लाईआं ।
Call me Sayyid, and may hell be your reward.
जेहड़ा सानूं सईअद सद्दे, दोज़ख मिलण सजाईआं ।
Call me Arain, and swing in paradise.
जो कोई सानूं राईं आखे, बहशतीं पींघां पाईआं ।
Arain, master, everywhere—God heeds no rank.
राईं साईं सभनी थाईं, रब्ब दीआं बेपरवाहियां ।
The fair are set aside; the plain are held close.
सोहणीयां परे हटाईआं ने ते, कोझीयां लै गल लाईआं ।
If you seek gardens in bloom, serve the Arain.
जे तूं लोड़ें बाग़ बहारां, चाकर हो जा राईआं ।
Bullah, why ask your beloved's caste? Give thanks and yield.
बुल्ल्हा शौह दी ज़ात की पुच्छना एं, शक्कर हो रजाईआं ।
