FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Hājī lok Makke nūn jānde

Pilgrims go to Mecca

Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.

Pilgrims go to Mecca;

हाजी लोक मक्के नूं जांदे,

my Ranjha is my Mecca.

मेरा रांझा माही मक्का,

Friends, I am mad with love.

नी मैं कमली हां ।

I am pledged to Ranjha,

मैं ते मंग रांझे दी होईआं,

but my father uses force.

मेरा बाबल करदा धक्का,

Friends, I am mad with love.

नी मैं कमली हां ।

Pilgrims journey toward Mecca;

हाजी लोक मक्के वल्ल जांदे,

my bridegroom at home is Mecca.

मेरे घर विच नौशोह मक्का,

Friends, I am mad with love.

नी मैं कमली हां ।

Within, pilgrim and warrior;

विचे हाजी विचे गाजी,

within, thief and rogue.

विचे चोर उचक्का,

Friends, I am mad with love.

नी मैं कमली हां ।

Pilgrims journey toward Mecca;

हाजी लोक मक्के वल्ल जांदे,

I shall go to Takht Hazara.

असां जाणा तख़त हज़ारे,

Friends, I am mad with love.

नी मैं कमली हां ।

Where my love is, there is the Kaaba;

जित वल्ल यार उते वल्ल कअबा,

search the four books if you will.

भावें फोल किताबां चारे,

Friends, I am mad with love.

नी मैं कमली हां ।
