Deep Bulleh Shah Poetry
Aa Mil Yaar
Aa mil yaar saarley, Meri jaan dikhaan ney gyheri Come my love take care of me, I am in great agony.
Ander khawab vchora hoya, Khabar na payndi teri Soni ban wich luti saiyaan, Soor palang ney gheyri Ever separated, my dreams are dreary, Looking for you, my eyes are weary. All alone I am robbed in a desert, Waylaid by a bunch of way words.
Mullan Qazi rah batawaan, Deen dharam dey pherey Aye taan thag jugat dey jhaar, lawaanjaal chufereey The Mullah and Qazi show me the way, Their maze of Dharma that is in sway. They are the confirmed thieves of time, they spread their net saintly crime.
Karam sharo dey dharam batawan, Sangal pawan pereen Zaat mazhab yeh ishq na pochdaa, Ishq shara da weri Their time-worn norms are seldom right, With these they chain my feet so toght. My love cares not for caste or creed, To the rituals faith I pay no heed.
Aa Mil Yaar
Nadioon paar aye mulk sajan da, lehar lobh ney gheri Satgor beri perhi khalotey, ten kion lai aweri My Master lives on yonder bank, While I am caught in the gale of greed. With boat of anchor, He stands in wait, I must hasten, I can’t be late.
Bulleh Shah sho tenoon milsi. Dil noo dey dileyri Pritam pass tey tolna kis noon? bhlioon shaker dopheri Bulleh Shah must find his love, He needn’t have the last fright. His love is around, yet he looks for Him, Misled in the broad daylight.
Aa mil yaar saarley, Meri jaan dikhaan ney gyheri Come my love take care of me, I am in great agony.
Uth gaye gawandon yaar Rabba hun ki kariye There goes my Love! What do I do, my Lord?
Uth chaley hun rahinde nahin Hoya saath tiyar Rabba hun ki kariye He’s already made a move His staying back is hard With his wayfarers all packed What do I do, my Lord?
Dhandh kaleje bal bal uthdi Bin dheke deedar Rabba hun ki kariye My heart is afire Like half-backed shard What do I do, my Lord?
Bulle Shah piyare bajhon Rahe uraar na paar Rabba hun ki kariye My love having gone I am in midstream hauled Wwhat do I do, my Lord?
Bas Karjee Hun Bas Karjee
Bas ker jee hun bas ker jee Ek baat asaan naal hans ker jee Enough is enough Talk to me with smile
Tusi dil wich merey wasdey-o Aywein sathoon door kion nasdey-o Naaley ghaat jadoo dil khasdey-o Bas ker jee hun bas ker jee You live in my heart And yet you me beguile I am charmed with your name on my lip You try as usual and give me a slip Enough is enough
Tusi moyiaan noo maar mukadey se Naat khaddoon wang kuthandey se Gal kardia da gala gutheey se Hun teer lagaya kas ker jee Bas ker jee hun bas ker jee You killed the ones who was already dead Tossed like a ball with your baton on head You choked my words in my throat Your arrow hit the quarry and smote Enough is enough
Tusi chupdey-o asan pakrrey-o Asaan naal zulf dey jukrrey-o Tusi ajey chupan toon takrrey-o Hun jaan na milda nas ker jee Bas ker jee hun bas ker jee Trying to hide, I’ve caught you Tied you with the lock of my hair You are yet trying to flee This time I’ll allow no plea Enough is enough
Bulleh Shah mai teri bardi-aan Tera mukh wekhaan noo mardi-aan Nit so so mintan kardi -aan hun beth hijr wich dhas ker jee Bas ker jee hun bas ker jee Says Bulleh, I am your slave, my Master I long to have a glimpse of you I plead with you time and again Make ky heart your shell of an oyster Enough is enough
Tere Ishq Nachaya
Tere Ishq nachaiyaan kar key thaiyaa thaiyaa Your love has made me dance like mad
Tere Ishq ne dera mere andar keeta Bhar ke zeher payala main taan aape peeta, Jhabde wahudi tabiba nahin te main mar gaiyaan Tere Ishq nachaiyaan kar key thaiyaa thaiyaa
Falling in love with you Was like taking a sip of poison Come my healer, forsaken, I am sad. Your love has made me dance like mad
Chupp giyah ve suraj bahar reh gayi laali Ve main sadqey hova, Devein murrjey wikhali Peera main bhul gaiyaan tere naal na gaiyaan Tere Ishq nachaiyaan kar key thaiyaa thaiyaa
The sun has set, its flush only is left I’ll give my life for a glimpse of you My fault I came not when when you bade Your love has made me dance like mad.
Ais Ishq de kolon mainu hatak na maaye Laahu jaandre berrey kehrramorlaya Meri aqal jun bhulli naal mhaniyaan dey gaiyaan Tere Ishq nachaiyaan kar key thaiyaa thaiyaa
Dissuade me not from the path of love Who can hold the boats on the move? Stupid, I joined the boatman’s squad Your love has made me dance like mad
Ais Ishq Di Jhangi Wich Mor Bulenda Sanu Qibla Ton Qaaba Sohna Yaar Disenda Saanu Ghayal Karke Pher Khabar Na Laaiyaan Tere Ishq nachaiyaan kar key thaiyaa thaiyaa
A peacock calls in the grove of passion It’s Qibla, It’s Kaaba where lives my love You asked not once after you stabbed Your love has made me dance like mad
Bullah Shah na aounda mainu Inayat de buhe Jisne mainu awaye chole saave te suhe Jaan main maari aye addi mil paya hai vahaiya Tere Ishq nachaiyaan kar key thaiyaa thaiyaa
Bulleh Shah Sits at Inayat’s door Who has dressed me in green and red And caught me the instant I flew from the pad Your love has made me dance like mad

You alone exist; I do not, O Beloved! You alone exist, I do not! Like the shadow of a house in ruins, I revolve in my own mind If I speak, you speak with me: If I am silent, you are in my mind If I sleep, you sleep with me: If I walk, you are along my path Oh Bulleh, the spouse has come to my house: My life is a sacrifice unto Him You alone exist; I do not, O Beloved!. Bulleh Shah (You Alone Exist, 17-18th century)
You have learnt so much And read a thousand books. Have you ever read your Self? You have gone to mosque and temple. Have you ever visited your soul? You are busy fighting Satan. Have you ever fought your Ill intentions? You have reached into the skies, But you have failed to reach What’s in your heart! Bulleh Shah
