FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Sānūñ ā mil yār piāriā

Come meet us, beloved friend

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

Far from us You went, to eternity's heavenly seat.

दूर दूर असाथों ग्युं, अजला (अरशां) ते आ के बह रहउं,

What fault made You forget? Come, beloved friend.

की कसर कसूर विसारिआ, सानूं आ मिल यार प्यारिआ ।

One matchless friend holds all my love.

मेरा इक अनोखा यार है, मेरा ओसे नाल प्यार है,

So heedless, how will You know? Come, beloved friend.

किवें समझें वड परवाइआ, सानूं आ मिल यार प्यारिआ ।

Each sought their own; daughter robbed mother.

जदों आपनी आपनी पै गई, धी मां नूं लुट्ट के लै गई,

The twelfth century gapes. Come, beloved friend.

मूंह बाहरवीं सदी पसारिआ, सानूं आ मिल यार प्यारिआ ।

Judgment's gate swung wide; Punjab lay in sorrow.

दर खुल्ल्हा हशर अज़ाब दा, बुरा हाल होया पंजाब दा,

Hell's abyss fills us with dread. Come, beloved friend.

डर हावीए दोज़ख मारिआ, सानूं आ मिल यार प्यारिआ ।

My beloved will come, Bullah, and still my fire.

बुल्ल्हा शहु मेरे घर आवसी, मेरी बलदी भा बुझावसी,

Each breath remembers Inayat. Come, beloved friend.

इनायत दमदम नाल चितारिआ, सानूं आ मिल यार प्यारिआ ।
