FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Vāh sohṇiāñ terī chāl ajāib

How wondrous your graceful way

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

Visible and hidden, You conceal Yourself.

आपे ज़ाहर आपे बातन आपे लुक्क लुक्क बहन्दे ओ ।

Mullah, judge and scripture's student: all Yourself.

आपे मुल्लां आपे काज़ी आपे इलम पढ़ेंदे ओ ।

Beautiful one, how strange and graceful Your walk.

वाह सोहण्यां तेरी चाल अजायब लटकां नाल चलेंदे ओ ।

Wearing the outsider's thread, You sit among the images.

घत्त ज़न्नार कुफ़र दा गल विच बुत्त-ख़ाने वड़ बहन्दे ओ ।

Pondering “But for you, the heavens…”: Your own cry fills the world.

लोलाक लमा अफलाक विचारे आपे धुंम मचेंदे ओ ।

Beautiful one, how strange and graceful Your walk.

वाह सोहण्यां तेरी चाल अजायब लटकां नाल चलेंदे ओ ।

Noble Ranjha, You keep faith with love.

ज़ात तों है अज़राफ रंझेटा लाईआं दी लाज रखेंदे ओ ।

Inayat, You show Yourself to Bullah each moment.

बुल्ल्हा शहु अनायत मैनूं पल पल दरशन देंदे ओ ।

Beautiful one, how strange and graceful Your walk.

वाह सोहण्यां तेरी चाल अजायब लटकां नाल चलेंदे ओ ।
