BhaaveN Jaan Na Jaan (Bulleh Shah)

BhaaveN jaan na jaan
Ve vehde aa vad mere.
MaeN tere kurbaan,
Ve vehde a vad mere.

Come to my courtyard, my dear
You may not be aware
I'll give to you my life, my dear
Come to my courtyard

Tere jiha mennu hor na koi,
DhooNDHaaN jaNgal, bela, rohi.
DhooNDHaaN ta saara jahaan,
Ve vehde a vad mere.

There's no one like you for me
I've searched all deserts, forests and plains
I've searched the whole world to find you
Come to my courtyard, my dear

LokaaN de bhaane chaak maheeN da,
RaaNjha te lokaaN vich kaheeNda,
SaaDa te deen imaaN,
Ve vehde a vad mere.

Let people call you a lowly cowherd
Let them say you are a wonted lover
But you are my everything -
My faith and my being -
Come to my courtyard, my dear

Ma pe CHoR lahgi laR tere,
Shah anaayit saaeeN mere,
LaaiyaaN di lahj paal,
Ve vehde a vad mere.

I left for you my father and mother
I wanted you to be my lover
Shah Innayat, you're my master
Honor the love of the beloved
Come to my courtyard, my dear.

Aao Saiyo Ral Deyo Ni Vadhaai (Bulleh Shah)

Aao saiyo ral deyo ni vadhaai,
MaeN var paaiya raaNjha maahi.

Friends, come and tell me I'm lucky.
My lover has come to marry me.

Ahj taaN roz mubaarak chaRiya,
RaaNjha saaDe vehde vadiya.
Hath khuNDi, mondhe kaMbal dhariya,
ChaakaaN vaali shakal banaai.
Aao saiyo ral deyo ni vadhaai.

The day of greetings has arrived.
My lover in my courtyard has arrived.
In his hand he has a staff.
A blanket covers his shoulders.
So humble and lowly he looks.
Friends, come and tell me I'm lucky.

MukaT gaoowaaN de vich rulda,
JaNgal joohaaN de vich rulda,
Hai koi allah de val bhulda,
Asal haqeeqat khabar na kaai,
Aao saiyo ral deyo ni vadhaai.

His crown rolls among the cattle.
In pastures and forests he wanders.
Could anyone tell he's the Lord?
No one can tell who really he is.
Friends, come and tell me I'm lucky.

Bulhe Shah ik sauda keeta,
Peeta, zeher piyaala peeta,
Na kujh laha ToTa leeta,
Dard dukhaaN di gaTHaRi chaai,
Aao saiyo ral deyo ni vadhai.

Bulleh Shah says this:
I struck a deal with him -
I drank a cup of poison for him.
I didn't care for the loss or gains.
I didn't care for the grief or pains.
Friends, come and tell me I'm lucky.

kuttey teython ute

RaateeN jaageyN kareyN ibaadat
RaateeN jaagan kuttey, teython ute

you do not sleep at night, you pray
dogs do not sleep either
they are superior to you

bhonkan band mool naa hundey
jaa ruree tey suttey, teythoN utte

they keep on barking all night
and sleep finally on a pile of trash
they are superior to you

khasam apney da dar na chhaddey
bhaaweyN so so wajjan jutey

they do not leave the master's door
even if hit by shoes a hundred times

Bulleh shah koi rakht weyhaaj ley
baazzi ley gae kuttey, tethoN utte

do some good deeds, says Bulleh Shah
you lost your bid even to dogs
they are superior to you
