Chupp karke karīn guzāre nūn
Live your days in silence
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
People cannot bear the truth; speak it, and they turn on you.
सच्च सुणदे लोक ना सहिंदे नी, सच्च आखिए तां गल पैंदे नी,
They shun the truthful one's company; to love, truth tastes sweet.
फिर सच्चे पास ना बहिंदे नी, सच्च मिट्ठा आशक प्यारे नूं ।
Live your days in silence.
चुप्प करके करीं गुज़ारे नूं ।
Truth lays law in ruins; truth weds the lover's house to joy.
सच्च शर्हा करे बरबादी ए सच्च आशक दे घर शादी ए,
Truth builds a new dwelling where law and the path fall short.
सच्च करदा नवीं आबादी ए जेही शर्हा तरीकत हारे नूं ।
Live your days in silence.
चुप्प करके करीं गुज़ारे नूं ।
How can a lover keep quiet once truth has given its scent?
चुप्प आशक तों ना हुन्दी ए, जिस आई सच्च सुगंधी ए,
Weave the wedding garland; leave the world's false show.
जिस माला सुहाग दी गुन्दी ए छड्ड दुनियां कूड़ पसारे नूं ।
Live your days in silence.
चुप्प करके करीं गुज़ारे नूं ।
Bullah, the master speaks truth, lays law and the path bare.
बुल्ल्हा शौह सच्च हुण बोले हैं, सच्च शर्हा तरीकत फोले हैं,
He opens the fourth station, where law and the path fall short.
गल्ल चौथे पद दी खोल्हे हैं, जेही शर्हा तरीकत हारे नूं ।
Live your days in silence.
चुप्प करके करीं गुज़ारे नूं ।
