FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Nī saīo maiñ gaī gavāchī

Friends, I have lost myself

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

Friends, I have lost myself.

नी सईयो मैं गई गवाची,

I lifted my veil and danced.

खोल घुंघट मुक्ख नाची ।

Turn where I will, only You; by You, no other.

जित वल्ल वेखां उत वल्ल ओही, कसम ओसे दी होर ना कोई,

“He is with you” rang out as your hidden truth unfolded.

फैहूना माअकुम फिर गई ध्रोही, जब गोर तेरी बाची ।

Friends, I have lost myself.

नी सईयो मैं गई गवाची ।

No trace of me remains, friends; keep these words in silence.

नाम निशान ना मेरा सईयो, जो आखां तुसीं चुप्प कर रहीओ,

Tell no one: Bullah has looked into the heart of truth.

इह गल्ल मूल किसे ना कहीयो, बुल्ल्हा ख़ूब हकीकत जाची ।

Friends, I have lost myself.

नी सईयो मैं गई गवाची,

I lifted my veil and danced.

खोल घुंघट मुक्ख नाची ।
