Saīo huṇ maiñ sājan pāio ī
Friends, I have found the beloved
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Friends, at last I found the beloved.
सईयो हुन मैं साजन पाइओ ई ।
In every being He dwells.
हरि हर दे विच्च समाइओ ई ।
You sang, “I am the One.”
अनाअहद दा गीत सुणाइओ,
Then came Your word, “I am Ahmad.”
अना अहमद हूं फिर फरमाइओ,
You named Arab with its ayn removed.
अनाअरब बे ऐन बताइओ,
Then wore the name Messenger.
फिर नाम रसूल धराइओ ई ।
Friends, at last I found the beloved.
सईयो हुन मैं साजन पाइओ ई ।
“There is God's face”: Your light shines there.
फसुमावजउल अल्ल्हाहू नूर तेरा,
Each being holds Your revelation.
हर हर के बीच ज़हूर तेरा,
Al-Insan speaks of You.
है अलइनसान मज़कूर तेरा,
Here You concealed Your secret.
एथे आपना सिर्र लोकाइओ ई ।
Friends, at last I found the beloved.
सईयो हुन मैं साजन पाइओ ई ।
You arrived, yet I came not.
तूं आइउं ते मैं ना आई,
Your flute sang the Hidden Treasure.
गंज मख़फ़ी दी तैं मुरली बजाई,
“Am I not?” You asked, seeking witness.
आख अलस्सत गवाही चाही,
There You called forth our Yes.
ओथे कालाबूला सुणाइओ ई ।
Friends, at last I found the beloved.
सईयो हुन मैं साजन पाइओ ई ।
Revealed, You took the name Light.
परगट हो कर नूर सदाइओ,
Through Ahmad You brought being forth.
अहमद तों मौजूद कराइओ,
Out of nothing You revealed what is.
नाबूदों कर बूद दिखलाइओ,
“I breathed into him,” Your word rang.
फ़नफ़ख़तोफ़ी ही सुणाइओ ई ।
Friends, at last I found the beloved.
सईयो हुन मैं साजन पाइओ ई ।
You wrote, “We are nearer.”
नाहनअकरब लिख दित्तोई,
You taught, “He is with you.”
हूवामअकुम सबक दित्तोई,
“Within yourselves,” You directed us.
वफ़ियनफ़ुसकुम हुकम कीतोई,
What veil, then, do You wear?
फिर केहा घुंघट पाइओ ई ।
Friends, at last I found the beloved.
सईयो हुन मैं साजन पाइओ ई ।
You filled unity's cup and gave him drink.
भर के वहदत जाम पिलाइओ,
Mansur reeled with Your wine.
मनसूर नूं मसत कराइओ,
Through him You said, “I am the Truth.”
उस तों अनुलहक्क आप कहाइओ,
Then lifted him onto the gallows.
फिर सूली पकड़ चढ़ाइओ ई ।
Friends, at last I found the beloved.
सईयो हुन मैं साजन पाइओ ई ।
You unveiled and showed Your beauty.
घुंघट खोल्ह जमाल विखाइआ,
In Junayd You were called perfection.
शैख जुनैद कमाल सदाइआ,
“Within my robe, nothing”: You brought that state.
लैशाफ़ीजन्नेती हाल बणाइआ,
You bestowed nobility on humankind.
अशरफ इनसान बणाइओ ई ।
Friends, at last I found the beloved.
सईयो हुन मैं साजन पाइओ ई ।
“We have honoured,” You reminded us.
वलकदकरमना याद कराइओ,
“There is no god” became Your curtain.
ला इल्लाहा दा परदा लाइओ,
“Except God”: You looked out through it.
इल्लअल्ल्हाहू कहो झाती पाइओ,
Then You named Yourself Bullah, the lost one.
फिर बुल्ल्हा (भुल्ला) नाम धराइओ ई ।
Friends, at last I found the beloved.
सईयो हुन मैं साजन पाइओ ई ।
In every being He dwells.
हरि हर दे विच्च समाइओ ई ।
