FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Hindū nā nahīn Musalmān

Neither Hindu nor Muslim

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

Neither Hindu nor Muslim.

हिन्दू ना नहीं मुसलमान ।

Let us sit and spin, pride laid aside.

बहीए त्रिंजन तज अभिमान ।

Neither Sunni nor Shia are we.

सुन्नी ना नहीं हम शिया ।

We walk in peace with all.

सुल्हा कुल्ल का मारग लिया ।

Neither hungry nor sated.

भुक्खे ना नहीं हम रज्जे ।

Neither bare nor clothed.

नंगे ना नहीं हम कज्जे ।

Neither tears nor laughter.

रोंदे ना नहीं हम हस्सदे ।

Neither homeless nor at home.

उजड़े ना नहीं हम वस्सदे ।

Neither sinner nor saint.

पापी ना सुधरमी ना ।

I know no road of merit or sin.

पाप पुन्न की राह ना जाणा ।

Bullah, the heart that rests on the Lord

बुल्ल्हा शहु जो हरि चित लागे ।

leaves Hindu and Turk behind.

हिन्दू तुर्क दूजन त्यागे ।
