Ih dukh jā kahūn kis āge
To whom can I tell this grief?
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
To whom can I carry this grief?
इह दुख जा कहूं किस आगे,
Love has wounded every pore.
रोम रोम घा प्रेम के लागे ।
Death comes first, then the world's laughter.
इक मरना दूजा जग्ग दी हासी ।
Wherever I turn, I am caught in enchantment.
करत फिरत नित्त मोही रे मोही ।
Who will comfort my heart?
कौण करे मोहे से दिलजोई ।
Dark beloved, I place myself in your care.
शाम पिया मैं देती हूं धरोई ।
They came asking me of sorrow,
दुक्ख जग्ग के मोहे पूछन आए ।
whose lovers journeyed far away.
जिन को पिया परदेस सिधाए ।
Mine neither leaves nor returns.
ना पिया जाए ना पिया आए ।
Where can I carry this grief?
इह दुक्ख जा कहूं किस जाए ।
Bulleh Shah: beloved, come home.
बुल्ल्हा शाह घर आ प्यारिआ ।
Let us share one fleeting hour.
इक घड़ी को करन गुज़ारिआ ।
Body, heart, wealth, life—I give them all to you.
तन मन धन जिया तैं पर वारिआ ।
To whom can I carry this grief?
इह दुख जा कहूं किस आगे,
Love has wounded every pore.
रोम रोम घा प्रेम के लागे ।
