SUFI SONGS.

Maye ni mein kinnu aakha, dard wichhoray da haal ni

Dukha di roti, soola da salan,

Aahe da balan baal ni

Maye ni mein kinnu aakha, dard wichhoray da haal ni

Jangal bele phira dhoondendi,

Ajje na payo laal ni

Maye ni mein kinnu aakha, dard wichhoray da haal ni

Dhuwa dukhe mere murshad wala,

Jaa phola taa laal ni

Maye ni mein kinnu aakha, dard wichhoray da haal ni

Kahe Hussain faqeer sayi da

Shoh mile taa thewa nihaal ni

Maye ni mein kinnu aakha, dard wichhoray da haal ni

O mother O mother, who do I tell, this pain of separation

Bread of sadness, sauce of spikes,

Make a fire of laments

O mother O mother, who do I tell, this pain of separation

Wandered jungles and deserts,

But not found the ruby

O mother O mother, who do I tell, this pain of separation

My Masters fire smolders,

If I poke, its red hot

O mother O mother, who do I tell, this pain of separation

Says Hussain the poor faqeer,

Meeting God would be ecstasy

TRANSLATION

whether you know it or not

come into my courtyard

to you i am sacrificed

come into my courtyard

other than you there is none for me

i have searched the jungles wilderness and deserts

i have searched the whole world

come into my courtyard

to you i am sacrificed

come into my courtyard

people take ranjha to be a cattle-herder

ranjha is actually amongst people

saying this is my belief and faith

come into my courtyard

to you i am sacrificed

come into my courtyard

shah inayat, my lord

i gave up my ancestry

and attached myself to you

nurture such attachments

come into my courtyard

whether you know it or not

come into my courtyard

to you i am sacrificed

come into my courtyard

this is my belief and faith

come into my courtyard

jindrhi lutti te yaar sajan

kaddi morh muhaaraan tea a watan

rohi de kandrhe laaleyaan

mendde dhukhan kannaa diyaan vaaliyaan

asaan raataan ddukhaan vich jaaliyaan

kyun ja banaayoi kech watan

rohi di ajab bahaar ddisse

jithaan main nimaani da yaar vasse

uthaan aashiq lakh ta hazaar tasse

ik main nimaani haan be-vatan

kaddi yaar farid aave haan

menddi ujrhi jhok vassaave haan

main rondi kun gal laave haan

kyun ja banaayoi kech watan

TRANSLATION

the soul is enthralled!

my friend, my beloved, turn thou thy reins

and return home

the dunes of rohi are crimson dyed

my earrings feel heavy

spending night upon longing night in sorrow

o why then have you made kech your abode!

the soul is enthralled!

my friend, my beloved, turn thou thy reins

and return home

o the miracle of rohi!

when the spring arrives

there dwells the friend of my poor self

there the lov ers thirst in thousands

but still wretched i remain homeless

the soul is enthralled!

my friend, my beloved, turn thou thy reins

and return home

one day, o farid! the friend will return

to inhabit the lap of my bereavement

he will embrace me in my mourning

o why then have you made kech your abode!

makke giyaan gal mukdi naain

paave sou sou jumme parh aaiye

ganga giyaan gal mukdi naain

paave sou sou gaute khaaiye

bhulleh shah gal tayun mukdi

je main nu manno ganvaaiye

parh parh aalim faazil hoyo

kadhi apne aap nu parhya hi nai

ja ja andar mandir maseetaankadhi mann apne vich varhyaa hi nai

bhulleh shah asmaani udd-di pharheya

te jehrha ghar bettha unho pharheya hi nai

sir te ttopi te neeyat khotti

lena ki ttopi sir thar ke

chille kite par rabb na mileya

lena ki chilleyaan vich varh ke

tasbeeh phiree par dil na phiryaa

lena ki tasbeeh hath pharh ke

bhulleya jaag binaa dudh nai jamda

paave laal hove karh karh ke

TRANSLATION

going to mecca, your tale did not end

even after offering prayers a hundred-fold!

going to the ganges, your tale did not end

even after ablutions a hundred-fold!

bulleh shah, your tale is fulfilled

when the i is abandoned from the self!

studying much, you became a scholar

yet you never studied yourself!

entered into temples and mosques,

yet never entered into yourself!

bulleh shah, you grasp for the skies,

but grasp not what is within your own home!

your head bears a cap, but your intent is wrong

what good then the cap

you went into retreat but did not find your lord

what good then the retreat!

though the beads turned your heart does not

what good then the rosary in your hand!

bullah, without the yeast, milk does not curdle

though it turn red boiling!
