Iein

Roman English of Kalam-e-Bahu

Ishq maahee de laaeeaan aggeen, Laggee kaun bujhaave hoo

Main keeh jaanaan zaat ishq, jo Dar dar chaa jhukaave hoo

Na saunven na sauvan deve, Suttiaan aan jagaave hoo

Main qurbaan haan usde jehrha, Vichhrhe yaar milaave hoo

English translation of Kalam-e-Bahu

My heart is ablaze with the fire of love. Who will quench the flames?

How was I to know what this love was like? It has made me bow my head at every doorstep.

It is always awake, and it always keeps me awake; It doesn�t allow me a wink of sleep.

O Bahu, I sacrifice myself to anyone, Who will reunite me with my long-separated Friend.

Roman English of Kalam-e-Bahu

Ishq dee gall avallee jehrhaa, Sharaa theen door hataave hoo

Qaazee shhorhe qazaaee jaan, Jad ishq tamaachaa laave hoo

Lok ayaane matteen devan, Aashiq mat na bhaave hoo

Murhn muhaal tinhaan noon jinhaan, Saahib aap bulaave hoo

English translation of Kalam-e-Bahu

Curios are the ways of love- It weans you away from religion.

When smitten by love, Even priests would forsake their priesthood.

The ignorant preach against love, But lovers shun their advise.

Those who are called by God himself, Find it onerous to return to worldly life.

Roman English of Kalam-e-Bahu

Aashiq Shauh de dil kharhaaiaa, Aap bhee naale kharhiaa hoo

Kharhiaa kharhiaa valiaa naheen, Sang mahboobaan raliaa hoo

Aql fikr deeaan sab bhull gaeeaan, Ishqe naal jaan miliaa hoo

Main qurbaan tinhaan theen, jain wich Ishq javaanee charhiaa hoo

English translation of Kalam-e-Bahu

A lover lost his heart to the Beloved; And with his heart lose, he himself was lost.

Being lost, he never turned back, But ventured onward to join the Beloved.

In his love he merged in the Beloved, And his reason and intellect were all but forsaken.

I make myself a sacrifice to anyone in whose heart Love has so blossomed, O Bahu!

Roman English of Kalam-e-Bahu

Ishq asaanoon lissiaan jaataa, Karke aave dhaaee hoo

Jit val wekhaan ishq diseeve, Khaalee haa na kaaee hoo

Murshid kaamil oh miliaa, Jis dil dee taakee laahee hoo

Main qurban us murshid ton, Jis dassiaa bhet Ilaahee hoo

English translation of Kalam-e-Bahu

Love considers me a weakling; Unrelenting, it charges at my heart.

Overwhelmed by its onslaughts, I see nothing but love wherever I look; I can find no place that is bereft of love.

I was blessed to meet a perfect Master Who opened the sealed window of my heart.

I make myself a sacrifice to the Master, O Bahu, Who has revealed to me the secret of God.
