FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Ishq haqīqī ne muṭṭhī kuṛe

True love has robbed me

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

True love has plundered me, friend;

इश्क हकीकी ने मुट्ठी कुड़े,

tell me where my beloved lives.

मैनूं दस्सो पिया दा देस ।

An innocent child in my parents' home, I loved and lost myself.

माप्यां दे घर बाल इञाणी, पीत लगा लुट्टी कुड़े,

tell me where my beloved lives.

मैनूं दस्सो पिया दा देस ।

Logic, meanings, Kanz, Quduri—learning left me lost, friend.

मनतक मअने कन्नज़ कदूरी, मैं पढ़ पढ़ इलम वगुच्ची कुड़े,

tell me where my beloved lives.

मैनूं दस्सो पिया दा देस ।

What need of prayer or fast for those who drained love's flask?

नमाज़ रोज़ा ओहनां की करना, जिन्हां प्रेम सुराही लुट्टी कुड़े,

tell me where my beloved lives.

मैनूं दस्सो पिया दा देस ।

Bullah, in the beloved's company, all my doings fell away.

बुल्ल्हा शौह दी मजलस बह के, सभ करनी मेरी छुट्टी कुड़े ,

tell me where my beloved lives.

मैनूं दस्सो पिया दा देस ।
