Vall parde vich pāiā yār
The beloved brought me behind the veil
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Mother, I am undone; the crow has my cotton.
हुन मैं मोई नी मेरीए मां, मेरी पूनी लै गया कां,
Shoo, shoo, I follow the one who drove me from home.
पिच्छे डों डों करदी जां, जिस मेरा वतन छुडाया ए ।
Behind the veil He placed me, then brought us together.
वल परदे विच पाइआ यार आपे मेल मिलाइआ ए ।
Crow, for my beloved's sake, return it, I beg.
कांवां पूनी दईं पिया दे नां, तेरियां मिन्नतां करदी हां,
I bear your blows, who sent me far from home.
ज़रबां तेरियां जरनी हां, जिस मैनूं दूर कराइआ ए ।
Behind the veil He placed me, then brought us together.
वल परदे विच पाइआ यार आपे मेल मिलाइआ ए ।
Clamour no longer pleases; another flower opens within.
हुन मैनूं भला ना लग्गदा शोर, मैं घर खिड़िआ शुगूफ़ा होर,
No be, no te, no se: only alif He taught.
बे ना ते ना से ना होर, इक्को अलफ़ पढ़ाइआ ए ।
Behind the veil He placed me, then brought us together.
वल परदे विच पाइआ यार आपे मेल मिलाइआ ए ।
Call me Majnun no more: each day I become Layla.
हुन मैनूं मजनूं आखो ना, दिन दिन लैला हुन्दा जां,
He made this body a house for His dwelling.
डेरा यार बणाए तां, इह तन बंगला बणाइआ ए ।
Behind the veil He placed me, then brought us together.
वल परदे विच पाइआ यार आपे मेल मिलाइआ ए ।
A thousand graces, Inayat: Bullah repeats his vow.
बुल्ल्हा इनायत करे हज़ार, इहो कौल इहो तकरार,
Behind the veil He placed me, then brought us together.
वल परदे विच पाइआ यार आपे मेल मिलाइआ ए ।
Behind the veil He placed me, then brought us together.
वल परदे विच पाइआ यार आपे मेल मिलाइआ ए ।
