FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Vekho nī kī kar giā māhī

See what my beloved has done

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

Sisters, see what my love has done.

वेखो नी की कर गया माही ।

A heart exchanged, and he was gone.

लै दे के दिल हो गया राही ।

Mother scolds, father strikes, brothers mock.

अंमां झिड़के बाबल मारे, ताअने देंदे वीर प्यारे,

So disgraced am I: people, give me shelter there.

मैं जेही बुरी बुरिआर वे लोका, मैनूं देवो ओते वल त्राही ।

Sisters, see what my love has done.

वेखो नी की कर गया माही ।

His horn rang at my door; all thought fled.

आ बूहे ते नाद वजाइआ, अकल फ़िकर सभ चा गवाया,

God knows: still laughing, I was caught in the noose.

अल्ल्हा दी सहुं अल्ल्हा जाणे, हस्सद्यां गल विच पै गई फाही ।

Sisters, see what my love has done.

वेखो नी की कर गया माही ।

Enough of your contests, Love; you raised Mansur on the gallows.

रहु इश्का की करें अखाड़े, शाह मनसूर सूली 'ते चाढ़े,

When my turn came, Bulleh cast the shawl from his face.

आन बनी जद नाल असाडे, बुल्ल्हे मूंह तों लोई लाही ।

Sisters, see what my love has done.

वेखो नी की कर गया माही ।

A heart exchanged, and he was gone.

लै दे के दिल हो गया राही ।

THE POEM, GIVEN VOICE

One verse. Many voices.

Stay with the words.
Then hear how they travel.

Recording-specific YouTube auto-generated captions compared with canonical Punjabi line groups. Matching is limited to the lines explicitly mapped below.

ASR evidence, not a claim of auditory listening. Actual caption-segment start times are used; no invented end times or exact word boundaries. Live broadcast with spoken introduction, an additional opening Punjabi couplet, and a Waris Shah insertion around9:20. Canonical stanzas are reordered. l004 ASR is too damaged for confident full-line mapping. Retained as a medley/expanded rendition.
