FROM THE WORDS OF BULLEH SHAH

Ranjha Ranjha

Calling Ranjha, I became Ranjha

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

Ranjha, Ranjha—calling his name, I became him.

राँझा राँझा करदी नी मैं आपे राँझा होई।

Give me his name, Dhido Ranjha; let Heer be heard no more.

सद्दो नी मैनूँ धीदो राँझा, हीर ना आखो कोई।

He lives in me, I live in him; no other thought can stay.

राँझा मैं विच मैं राँझे विच, होर ख़याल ना कोई।

The ‘I’ is gone. He alone remains, soothing his own heart.

मैं नहीं ओह आप है, आपणी आप करे दिलजोई।

Ranjha, Ranjha—calling his name, I became him.

राँझा राँझा करदी नी मैं आपे राँझा होई।

Staff in hand, the herd before me; brown wool across my shoulder.

हत्थ खूंडी मेरे अग्गे मंगू, मोढे भूरा लोई।

Bullah, look where Heer of the Sials has come to stand.

बुल्ल्हा हीर सलेटी वेखो, कित्थे जा खलोई।

Ranjha, Ranjha—calling his name, I became him.

राँझा राँझा करदी नी मैं आपे राँझा होई।

Give me his name, Dhido Ranjha; let Heer be heard no more.

सद्दो नी मैनूँ धीदो राँझा, हीर ना आखो कोई।
