بُلّھے شاہBULLEH SHAHTHE LIVING VERSE
FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Huṇ mainūn kauṇ pachhāṇe

Who can recognize me now?

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

The guide taught me a lesson: no other could enter there.

हादी मैनूं सबक पढ़ाइआ, ओथे ग़ैर ना आया जाइआ,

He showed the beauty of pure being; oneness rang aloud.

मतलक ज़ात जमाल विखाइआ, वहदत पाइआ शोर ।

Who can know me now? I have become another.

हुण मैनूं कौण पछाणे, हुण मैं हो गई नी कुझ होर ।

Beyond place, the beloved appears within and without.

अव्वल हो के लामकानी, ज़ाहर बातन दिसदा जानी,

No name or trace of me remains; every quarrel falls still.

रिहा ना मेरा नाम निशानी, मिट गया झगड़ा शोर ।

Who can know me now? I have become another.

हुण मैनूं कौण पछाणे, हुण मैं हो गई नी कुझ होर ।

The beloved unveils his beauty; wandering saints grow drunk.

प्यारा आप जमाल विखाले, मसत कलन्दर होण मतवाले,

Watch the swan's grace now, Bullah; the crow's gait is gone.

हंसां दे हुण वेख लै चाले, बुल्ल्हा कागां दी हुण गई टोर ।

Who can know me now? I have become another.

हुण मैनूं कौण पछाणे, हुण मैं हो गई नी कुझ होर ।
