Piāre bin maslihat uṭṭh jāṇā
You must leave without consultation
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Dear one, departure will not ask your leave.
प्यारे बिन मसल्हत उट्ठ जाना ।
Come to your senses while you can.
तूं कदी ते हो स्याना ।
A few proud days, then helplessness.
करके चावड़ चार देहाड़े, थीसें अंत निमाना ।
Stop making others suffer beneath your hand.
ज़ुलम करें ते लोक सतावें, छड्ड दे ज़ुलम सताना ।
Dear one, departure will not ask your leave.
प्यारे बिन मसल्हत उट्ठ जाना ।
Nothing you boast of will follow you.
जिस जिस दा वी मान करें तूं, सो वी साथ ना जाना ।
Remember the silent city that receives us all.
शहर-खामोशां वेख हमेशां, जिस विच जग्ग समाना ।
Dear one, departure will not ask your leave.
प्यारे बिन मसल्हत उट्ठ जाना ।
Death, the mighty ferryman, carries boatloads over.
भर भर पूर लंघावे डाढा, मलकुल-मौत मुहाना ।
All here stand assured; I stand frail and flawed.
ऐथे हैन तनते सभ, मैं अवगुणहार निमाना ।
Dear one, departure will not ask your leave.
प्यारे बिन मसल्हत उट्ठ जाना ।
Bullah faces a foe whose strength is great.
बुल्ल्हा दुशमन नाल बरे विच, है दुशमन बल ढाना ।
The divine beloved opens the way; fear of the angels fades.
महबूब-रब्बानी करे रसाई, ख़ौफ जाए मलकाना ।
Dear one, departure will not ask your leave.
प्यारे बिन मसल्हत उट्ठ जाना ।
Come to your senses while you can.
तूं कदी ते हो स्याना ।
