FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Sāḍe vall mukhṛā moṛ ve piāriā

Turn your face toward us

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

Beloved, turn Your face to us.

साडे वल्ल मुक्खड़ा मोड़ वे प्यारिआ,

Turn Your face to us.

साडे वल्ल मुक्खड़ा मोड़ ।

Your hand set the hook; Your hand draws the line.

आपे लाईआं कुंडियां तैं, ते आपे खिच्चदा हैं डोर ।

Turn Your face to us.

साडे वल्ल मुक्खड़ा मोड़ ।

Across the heavenly throne calls rang; Mecca stirred.

अरश कुरसी ते बांगां मिलियां, मक्के पै गया शोर ।

Turn Your face to us.

साडे वल्ल मुक्खड़ा मोड़ ।

The Kheras bore me off; I had no voice, no strength.

डोली पा के लै चल्ले खेड़े, ना कुझ उज़र ना ज़ोर ।

Turn Your face to us.

साडे वल्ल मुक्खड़ा मोड़ ।

Mother, if you love the Kheras, give them another bride.

जे माए तैनूं खेड़े प्यारे, डोली पा देवीं होर ।

Turn Your face to us.

साडे वल्ल मुक्खड़ा मोड़ ।

Beloved, Bullah does not die; some other self has died.

बुल्ल्हा शौह असां मरना नाहीं, वे मर गया कोई होर ।

Turn Your face to us.

साडे वल्ल मुक्खड़ा मोड़ ।

THE POEM, GIVEN VOICE

One verse. Many voices.

Stay with the words.
Then hear how they travel.
