Main Puchhan Shahu Dian Vatan
I Ask the Way to My Beloved
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Which road leads to my love?
मैं पुच्छां शहु दियां वाटां नी ।
Will someone talk with me?
कोई करे असां नाल बातां नी ।
We forgot the Name; our heedlessness concealed the friend.
भुल्ले रहे नाम ना जप्या, ग़फलत अन्दर यार है छप्या,
The perfect one lives in you; your appetites keep clinging.
उह सिध पुरखा तेरे अन्दर वस्या, लगियां नफ़स दियां चाटां नी ।
Will someone talk with me?
कोई करे असां नाल बातां नी ।
Remember the Name; wake from innocence, lest you face the Master in shame.
जप लै ना हो भोली भाली, मत तूं साएं मुक्ख मुकाली,
Love's city turns the world around; its flames leap high.
उलटी प्रेम नगर दी चाली, भड़कन इश्क दियां लाटां नी ।
Will someone talk with me?
कोई करे असां नाल बातां नी ।
Grow wise; fill your vessel with love's shining water.
भोली ना हो, हो स्याणी, इश्क नूर दा भर लै पाणी,
Leave the world's long story; this is how to meet your friend.
इस दुनियां दी छोड़ कहाणी, इह यार मिलन दियां घातां नी ।
Will someone talk with me?
कोई करे असां नाल बातां नी ।
Bulleh, you sat in the divine place; the world began its outcry.
बुल्ल्हा रब्ब बण बैठों आपे, तद दुनियां दे पए स्यापे,
The house turned hostile, parents foes; calamity broke loose.
दूती वेहड़ा, दुशमन मापे, सभ कड़क पईआं आफातां नी ।
Which road leads to my love?
मैं पुच्छां शहु दियां वाटां नी ।
Will someone talk with me?
कोई करे असां नाल बातां नी ।
