FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Mainu Ishq Hulare Denda

Love Lifts Me in Its Arms

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

Love lifts and rocks me.

मैनूं इश्क हुलारे देंदा ।

My intimate beloved calls.

मूंह चढ़िआ यार बुलेंदा ।

Why ask my kind, my qualities? I am of Adam's kind.

की पुच्छदा हैं की ज़ात सफ़्फ़ात मेरी, उहो आदम वाली ज़ात मेरी,

Within We are nearer I dwell; God's secret moves in me.

नहुन-अकरब दे विच घात मेरी, विच रब्ब दा सिर झुलेंदा ।

Love lifts and rocks me.

मैनूं इश्क हुलारे देंदा ।

Here Shia, there Sunni; here tangled locks, there a shaven head.

किते शिया ते किते सुन्नी ए किते जटाधारी किते मुन्नी ए,

I have left these claims behind; my friend receives my words.

मेरी सभ से फ़ारग कुन्नी ए जो कहां सो यार मनेंदा ।

Love lifts and rocks me.

मैनूं इश्क हुलारे देंदा ।

From far away came Bulleh, captured by that face.

बुल्ल्हा दूरों चल के आया जी, उहदी सूरत ने भरमाइआ जी,

That pure beauty appeared; not one breath can forget it.

ओसे पाक जमाल विखाइआ जी, उह हिक्क दम ना भुलेंदा ।

Love lifts and rocks me.

मैनूं इश्क हुलारे देंदा ।

My intimate beloved calls.

मूंह चढ़िआ यार बुलेंदा ।

THE POEM, GIVEN VOICE

One verse. Many voices.

Stay with the words.
Then hear how they travel.
