بُلّھے شاہBULLEH SHAHTHE LIVING VERSE
FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Sāīñ chhup tamāshe nūñ āiā

The Lord came hidden to the spectacle

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

Hidden, the Lord came to the show.

साईं छुप तमाशे नूं आया,

Gather together; remember the Name.

तुसीं रल मिल नाम ध्यायो ।

His grace cannot stay hidden; the whole world burns with longing.

लटक सजन दी नाहीं छपदी, सारी ख़लकत सिक्कदी तप्पदी,

Search no farther; gather and remember.

तुसीं दूर ना ढूंडन जायो, तुसीं रल मिल नाम ध्यायो ।

Friends, form your circle; gather into one.

रल मिल सईयो अतन पायो, इक बन्ने विच जा समाओ,

Sing the beloved's song; gather and remember.

नाले गीत सज्जन दा गायो, तुसीं रल मिल नाम ध्यायो ।

Bullah, what wonder: dancing begun, what need for a veil?

बुल्ल्हा बात अनोखी एहा, नच्चन लग्गी तां घुंघट केहा,

Lift the veil from your eyes; gather and remember.

तुसीं परदा अक्खीं थीं लाहो, तुसीं रल मिल नाम ध्यायो ।
