Pay

Roman English of Kalam-e-Bahu

Paataa daaman hoiaa puraanaa, Kickarak seeve darzee hoo

Haal da maihram koee na miliaa, Jo miliaa so gharzee hoo

Baajh murabbee kise na laddhee, Gujjhee ramz andar dee hoo

Ose raah wal jaaee-e Baahoo, Jis theen khalqat dardee hoo

English translation of Kalam-e-Bahu

My cloak is now worn out and tattered; How long will the tailor keep mending it?

I met no one who really knew the inner secret; They were all lacking, they were all selfish.

None by my gracious Master Resolved the inner mystery.

Let us advance on the very path, O Bahu, On which the multitude fears to tread.

Roman English of Kalam-e-Bahu

Panje maihal, panjaan wich chaanan, Deevaa kit val dharee-e hoo

Panje maihar, panje patwaaree, Haasil kit val bharee-e hoo

Panj imaam te panje qible, Sajdaah kit val karee-e hoo

Je sahib sir mange Baahoo, Hargiz dhill na karee-e hoo

English translation of Kalam-e-Bahu

Within me are five great mansions- All five brightly lit; What need have I of another lamp?

I am no longer accountable To the five lords and tax collectors Who barricade the inner path.

Five prayer leaders call the faithful To the five mosques within. What need have I of another mosque?

IF the Lord calls for your head, O Bahu, do not hesitate; offer it at once.

Tay

Roman English of Kalam-e-Bahu

Tark duneeaa dee taaeen hose, Jad faqeer milesee khaasaa hoo

Taarik duneeaa taaeen hose, Jad hath pakarhesee kaasaa hoo

Dariaa wahadat nosh keetose, ajaan vee jee piaasaa hoo

Raah faqar ratt hanjoo rovan, Lokaan bhaane haasaa hoo

English translation of Kalam-e-Bahu

You wil be able to renounce the world Only when you find the treasure of devotion.

True renunciation will only occur When you beg for the Lord�s grace In the begging bowl of your heart.

Deep have I drunk from the ocean of Oneness, Yet my soul always thirsts for more.

Only tears of blood can pave the way to God; O Bahu, none but the ignorant will take this lightly.

Roman English of Kalam-e-Bahu

Tullaa banh tawakkul waalaa, Ho mardaanaa taree-e hoo

Jain dukh teen such hasil hove, Us theen mool na daree-e hoo

Inna ma-al-usar yusran aaiaa, Chit use val dharee-e hoo

Beparvaah dargaah oh Baahoo, Ro ro haasil bharee-e hoo

English translation of Kalam-e-Bahu

Build the ship of faith and bravely sail across,

Do not mind the pain that results in happiness.

Inscribe on the tablet of your heart The writ of the holy Qur�an:�From suffering comes ease and comfort.�

Absolute is the Lord � he is accountable to none. O Bahu, let us offer him his due Through prayer and the tears of penitence.
