Baba Bulleh Shah!


RaaNjha raaNjha kardi ni maeN
Aape raaNjha hoi,
Sado ni menu dhido raaNjha,
Heer na aakho koi.
RaaNjha maeN vich maeN raaNjhe vich,
Hor khayaal na koi,
MaeN naheeN,
o aap hai Aapani aap kare dil joi.
Hath khunDi,
mere ahge maNgu,
MoDHe bhoora loe,
Bulha heer saleTi vekho Kithe ja khaloi.

Repeating his name,
I have become RaaNjha .
Call me Ranjha , not Heer .
Ranjha is in me and I in Ranjha .
No other thought exists.
It is he who has done this, not I.
He does it to amuse himself.
Staff in hand, bowl outstretched,
A coarse brown blanket on his shoulder.
Look, says Bulha ,
Where Heer stands!
