BULLEH SHAH -poem

RAB BANDE DI JAAT IKKO

JYON KAPADE DI JAT HAI ROON

KAPADE VICH JYON ROON HAI LUKAYE

YOON BANDE VICH TOO 

AAP BOLEN 

AAP BULAVE 

AAP KARE HOON HOON 

The lord and thine  follower are just the same 

As same as the caste of cloth is cotton 

The way the body is enclosed in the fabric

So art thou within thy follower  

Thou are the one who speaks

Thou are the one who invites 

And thou it is within me who heeds the call

TU MANE YA NA MANE DILDARA 

ASAN TE TENNU RAB MANEYA

DAS HOR KEDA RAB DA DAWAARA 

ASAN TE TENNU RAB MANEYA 

APNE TAN KI  KHAAK UDAAYIN 

TAB YE ISHQ KI MANZIL PAAYI 

MERI SANSON KA  BOLE IKTAARA 

ASAN TE TENNU RABB MANEYA 

TUJH BIN JEENA BHI KYA JEENA 

TERI CHAUKHAT MERA MADINA 

KAHIN AUR NA SAJDA GANWARA 

ASAN TE TENNU RABB MANE

HASTE HASTE HAR GHAM SEHANA 

RAAZI TERI RAZA MEIN REHNA 

TUNE MUJHE SIHAYA HAI YARA 

ASAN TE TENNU RABB MANEYA

Footnote

 My heart is  likened to rain

 Seeking the tunes of love in the breeze 

To find a lost part unknown but for the pain

And still seeking in laughing crackling of the trees

 The sorrows that come my way

Are the violin strings that set the base 

My demeanor crazy and silly 

All along with the thoughts I forever chase 

I live my life with gratitude

Yet I seek for something more

I ain't sure I can find 

My beloved when I'm gone 

And this note you'll find 

Know that as serious as I was 

Also very much I was fickle in mind 

A moment a sorrow  caught my heart 

Despair writ all over the part 

Times like this that my poems dart 

Then I call upon the divine 

And for the time being am pacified 

I cànt wallow for long in sorrow 

I ain't the one to be of not in cheer for  morrow 

For so much and such I could take no more 

All this and still more to find 

And so I ask to be to self a bit more kind

So as loved ones meet and depart 

The sun ought to shine till the day depart 

My beloved live the generous life in your part 

Before the ages once again anew a start 

 "It changes things,that knowledge. Doesn't it? When what you love gets taken from you, you wanna know the truth."

When the winter is due

How sorry I am

How can I tell you

The autumn leaves have to fall

When the winter is due

The visitors of the garden

Left in search for a different season

The winter is cold and frozen

Snow covered....fàllen leaves, petals strewn

Could it have been worse 

A stone placed on the heart of a rose

A poem desparate for want of words

Has turned into an agony of prose

A loner by the river

Listening to the tunes  

In the pebbles of the water

Searching for the meaning of the runes

The shores being washed again

With every tide of the earth

A respite for the pain 

With every sighing breath

How sorry I am 

How can I tell you 

The autumn leaves have to fall

When the winter is due
