Ulṭe hor zamāne āe
Strange, inverted times have come
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Strange, inverted times have come.
उलटे होर ज़माने आए ।
Crows strike hawks; sparrows eat falcons.
कां लगड़ नूं मारन लग्गे चिड़ियां जुर्रे खाए,
Strange, inverted times have come.
उलटे होर ज़माने आए ।
Fine horses take the lash; donkeys feast on prepared grain.
इराकियां नूं पई चाबक पउंदी गद्धो खोद पवाए,
Strange, inverted times have come.
उलटे होर ज़माने आए ।
Bullah, the order comes from Him. Who can undo it?
बुल्ल्हा हुकम हज़ूरों आया तिस नूं कौन हटाए,
Strange, inverted times have come.
उलटे होर ज़माने आए ।
