Chalo dekhīe us mastānaṛe nūn
Come, see that ecstatic one
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Come, let us see that one drunk with love,
चलो देखिए उस मसतानड़े नूं,
whose name rings through the spinning circles.
जिद्ही त्रिंञणां दे विच पई ए धुंम ।
He dyes himself and me in oneness,
उह ते मैं वहदत विच रंगदा ए,
never asking, “What caste are you?”
नहीं पुच्छदा जात दे की हो तुम ।
The one whose fame fills every quarter
जीद्हा शोर चुफेरे पैंदा ए,
lives always at your side;
उह कोल तेरे नित्त रहन्दा ए,
he says, “We are nearer,”
नाले 'नाहन अकरब' कहन्दा ए,
and, “Within your very selves.”
नाले आखे 'वफ़ी-अनफ़स-कुम' ।
Leave that town of false belief;
छड्ड झूठ भरम दी बसती नूं,
let love's rapture take its root.
कर इश्क दी कायम मसती नूं,
They reached the beloved's being,
गए पहुंच सजन दी हसती नूं,
who became deaf, mute and blind.
जिहड़े हो गए 'सुम-बुकम-उम' ।
Neither yours nor mine is this;
ना तेरा ए ना मेरा ए,
the passing world is bickering.
जग्ग फ़ानी झगड़ा झेड़ा ए,
Who guides us but the master?
बिनां मुरशद रहबर किहड़ा ए,
Read: Remember Me; I remember you.
पढ़-'फाज़-रूनी-अज़-कुर-कुम' ।
Bulleh Shah, this truth is told in hints;
बुल्ल्हे शाह इह बात इशारे दी,
those who thirst to see
जिन्हा लग्ग गई तांघ नज़ारे दी,
learn the way to the merchant's home.
दस्स पैंदी घर वणजारे दी,
God's hand rests above your hands.
है 'यदउल्ल्हा-फ़ौका अयदीकुम' ।
Come, let us see that one drunk with love,
चलो देखिए उस मसतानड़े नूं,
whose name rings through the spinning circles.
जिद्ही त्रिंञणां दे विच पई ए धुंम ।
