Some of the Best Sultan Bahus creations .1.

Akheen surkh te mooheen zardee ,
har wallon dil aaheen hoo
Muhaa muhaar khushboi walaa ,
pahuntaa vanj kadaaeen hoo
Ishq mushk na chuppe rehnde ,
zaahir theen uthaaeen hoo
Naam faqeer tinhaan daa Bahoo ,
jin laamaakaanee jaaeen hoo .

Their eyes sleepless , their faces pale ,
lovers conatantly sigh in grief .
What has become of these faces
that once beamed with youth and vivacity ?
Love is like musk that cannot stay hidden :
its fragrance cannot but reveal its presence
Only those who abode in realms beyond space
deserve to be called "Faqir" O Bahu ....

Toon taan jaag na jaag faqeeraa ,
lohre ant jagaaiaa hoo
Ankheen meetian dil na jaage ,
Jaage matlab paaiaa hoo
Eh nukta jad pukhta kitta
zahir aakh sunaaiaa hoo
Main taa Bulle vaindee Baahoo ,
murshid raah vikhaaiaa hoo .

You may or may bot wake up now , O Faqir
but you will wake up to reality in the end
Your heart will not awaken
by merely sittin with eyes closed -
it will awaken when you realise the goal .
When i attained my ultimate objective ,
I proclaimed it to the world .
But on my own I would have still been lost , O Bahu
were it not for my master showing me the way .

Je rabb naahatiaan dhotiaan mildaa
milda dadooaan machheeaan hoo
Je rabb milda mon munaaiaan ,
milda bahedan sassiaan hoo
Je rabb raateen jaage mildaa
mildaa kaal karhachiaan hoo
Je rabb jaateeaan sateeaan mildaa
mildaa daandaan khasseeaan hoo
Rabb unhaanu mildaa Bahoo
neetan jinhaan achheeaan hoo

If God could be found by bathin in holy waters ,
frogs and fishes would find him
If God were realized by cutting odd your hairs ,
sheep and goats which are shorn for their wool ,
would realize him too.
If God were found through nightly vigils ,
bats and owls would find him .
God is realised by those O Bahu
who are pure of heart , noble of intent .
