FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Kadi Mor Muharan Dholia

Turn Your Reins This Way

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

Turn your reins toward me, love.

कदी मोड़ मुहारां ढोलिआ ।

My head is yours upon the road.

तेरियां वाटां तों सिर घोलिआ ।

I washed and waited; a knot tightened in your heart.

मैं न्हाती धोती रह गई, कोई गंढ सज्जन दिल बह गई,

What crooked word came between us? Turn toward me, love.

कोई सुख़न अवल्ला बोलिआ, कदी मोड़ मुहारां ढोलिआ ।

One day Bulleh's love comes home and stills this burning flame.

बुल्ल्हा शहु कदी घर आवसी, मेरी बलदी भा बुझावसी,

Sorrow has made me speak: turn toward me, love.

जीहदे दुक्खां ने मूंह खोल्हआ, कदी मोड़ मुहारां ढोलिआ ।
