Roman English of Kalam-e-Bahu

Jad daa murshid kaazaa ditrhaa, Tad dee beparvaahee hoo

Kee hoiaa je raateen jaagen, Murshid jaag na laaee hoo

Raateen jaagen karen ibaadat, Nindiaa karen paraaee hoo

Koorha takht duneeaa daa Baahoo, Faqar sacchee patshaahee hooo

English translation of Kalam-e-Bahu

Ever since my Master gave me To drink from his cup of nectar, I have become carefree-indifferent to the world.

If a Master has not initiated you into God�s mystery, Keeping awake to pray at night will avail you nothing.

All night you spend in prayer and worship, All day you indulge in slanderous talk.

The power and authority of the world is false, O Bahu! True is the sovereignty of the faqir!

Roman English of Kalam-e-Bahu

Jab lag khudee karen khud nafson, Tab lag Rabb na paaven hoo

Shart fanaa noon jaanen naaheen, Naam faqeer rakhaaven hoo

Moe baajh na sohndee alfee, Aiven gal wich paaven hoo

Naam faqeer tadaan hee sohndaa, Jad jeevandiaan mar javen hoo

English translation of Kalam-e-Bahu

As long as you proudly pamper your ego, You will not realize God.

You call yourself a faqir, Yet you don�t even know how to dissolve your self in God!

If you don�t kill your self first, The clock of piety you wear will never suit you.

The name �faqir� will benefit you, O Bahu, Only when you die while you are still alive.

Roman English of Kalam-e-Bahu

Jal jalende jangal bhuande, Hikkaa gall na pakkee hoo

Challee-e makke hajj guzaaran, Dil dee daurh na dakkee hoo

Treehe roze panj namaazaan, Eh bhee parhh parhh thakkee hoo

Sabhe muraadaan haasil hoeeaan, Jaan nazar mehar dee takkee hoo

English translation of Kalam-e-Bahu

I prayed standing in water; I roamed the forests in search of God.But I failed to ascertain that �one thing�.

I went on pilgrimage to Mecca, But I could not stop the wondering of my mind.

I fasted for thiry days, I spent myself Offering prayers five times a day.

But all I had longed for was fulfilled, O Bahu, When my Master cast his merciful glance on me.

Roman English of Kalam-e-Bahu

Jaan jaa zaat na theeve Baahoo, Taan kamzaat sadeeve hoo

Zaatee naal sifaatee naheen, Taan taan Haqq labheeve hoo

Andar bhee hoo baahir bhee hoo, Baahii kith labheeve hoo

Jainde andar hubb duneeaa dee, Mool faqeer na theeve hoo

English translation of Kalam-e-Bahu

A heart that fails To experience the presence of the divine Will continue to be poorly evolved, O Bahu!

But when the Essence is freed from its attributes, The presence of God becomes evident.

Then Hu resounds within and without; No trace of Bahu can be found- he is lost in Hu!

No one who entertains love of the world Can ever become a faqir.
