Main Chuhretari Aa Sache Sahib Di Sarkaron

A Sweeper in the True Lord’s Service

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

I sweep in the true Lord's service.

मैं चूहरेटड़ी आं सच्चे साहब दी सरकारों ।

With attention's basket, understanding's broom, I sweep out lust and anger.

ध्यान की छज्जली गिआन का कूड़ा काम क्रोध नित्त झाड़ूं,

I sweep in the true Lord's service.

मैं चूहरेटड़ी आं सच्चे साहब दी सरकारों ।

Let judge and ruler keep their work; my forced labour is ended.

काज़ी जाने हाकम जाने फारग-ख़ती बेगारों,

Day and night my plea is one: do not send me from your door.

दिने रात मैं एहो मंगदी दूर ना कर दरबारों,

I sweep in the true Lord's service.

मैं चूहरेटड़ी आं सच्चे साहब दी सरकारों ।

You alone are mine; where else could I cry out?

तुद्ध बाझों मेरा होर ना कोई कैं वल्ल करूं पुकारों,

Through Inayat's kindness, Bulleh, let me have one glimpse.

बुल्ल्हा शहु इनायत करके बखरा मिले दीदारों,

I sweep in the true Lord's service.

मैं चूहरेटड़ी आं सच्चे साहब दी सरकारों ।
