Bulleh shah’s mystic words continue to amaze me, every time I read something new its mesmerizing.One of those things one would love to fall in love with again and again. Found this one with its translation so here it is:
Chal Way Bullehya Chal O’thay Chaliyay
Jithay Saaray Annay
Na Koi Saadee Zaat PichHanay
Tay Na Koi Saanu Mannay
O’ Bulleh Shah let’s go there
Where everyone is blind
Where no one recognizes our caste (or race, or family name)
And where no one believes in usAb to jaag Musaffir pyare
Raeen gayi latke taare
Kar le aj karni da weera
Mod na ho si aawen tera…Awake, dear traveller, you’ve got to move on.
Trailing its stars, the night is gone.
Do what you have to do, do it today.
You will never be back this way.Your companions are calling.
“Let us go.â€
Awake, dear traveller, you’ve got to move on.
Trailing its stars, the night is gone.A pearl, a ruby, the touchstone and dice…
With all that you thirst by the waterside.
Awake, dear traveller, you’ve got to move on.
Trailing its stars, the night is gone.

parh parh ilm hazar kitabaan kadi apnay aap nu parhya nai
ja ja warday mandar maseeti kadi mann apnay wich warya nai
aiwein larda eh shaytan de nall bandya kadi nafs apnay naal larya nai
akhey pir bulleh shah aasmaan ni pharna hai jera mann wich wasda unho pharya nai
this is so true and that too at so many levels in our society today. awesome none the less
