Sultan Bahu .2.

Dudh , daheen te har koee rirhke ,
aashiq bhaa rirhkende hoo
Tan chatoraa , man madhaanee
aaheen naal hilende hoo
Dukh netraa kaddhe lishkaare ,
gham daa paanee peende hoo
Naam faqueer tinhaan daa Baahoo ,
haddo makkhan kadhende hoo

Every one churns fermented nilk to get butter
but a lover churns the fire of love in his heart
Propelled by his sighs the churning stick of the mind
rotates in the vessel of his body
The rope of pain turns the blades that reates sparks
as the water of grief is added to the cool contents
only someone who churns his bones
to produce the essebce
deserves to be called a faqir O BAHU

Raateen raattee neend na aave ,
deehaan rahe hairaanee hoo
Aarif dee gal aarif jaane ,
kiaa jaane nafsaanee hoo
Kar ibaadat pachhotaasen
zaaiaa gaaee javanee hoo
Haqq huzoor unhaan nu haasil
jinh miliaa peer jilaaneeaa hoo


I paas my nights without a wink of sleep
in confusion i paas my days
only a man of god may know a man of god
what can a slave of mind and sense know of him
if you dont meditate on god you will repent
that your youth was spent on vailn pursuits
those who found their master i shah jilani
will gain ad,ittance to lords court

Raat hanere kaale de wich
ishq chiraag jalandaa hoo
jaindee sik ton dil cha neeve
so awaaz sunaandaa hoo
Aujharh jhall te maaroo bele
dam dam khauf sheehan daa hoo
jal thal jangal gae jhagende
kamil nenh jinhaan daa hoo


In the dark fathomless night of ignorance
love is a torch that brings light
From it emanates a melody
that enraptures lovers hearts
on the path of love are forests and oceans
anyone who cherishes love in his heart can cross them
