Mera Piya Ghar Aaya

(English Version)

Lyrics: Hazrat Baba Bulleh Shah

Turn away the watchman
My beloved has come home
God has made this union possible.
O what a beautiful miracle!
Again and again lie strikes the gong,
And cuts he short the night of union.
If he were to find my heart’s desire,
He would throw away the gong, O friends!
Turn away the watchman, O friends!

The un-struck melody resounds sweetly.
The Musician is accomplished, the tune enchanting,
Prayers and fasting are all forgotten,
When the Distiller offers the cup, O friends!
Turn away the watchman, O friends!

Wondrous is the sight of His face!
The pain of my heart has all vanished,
How to extend the length of this night?
Place a wall against the day, O friends!
Turn away the watchman, O friends!

I have no knowledge even of myself;
What do I know where I’ve reached!
How can this fact remain a secret?
Now has descended the perfect grace!
Turn away the watchman, O friends!

I resorted to many a love-charm;
Magicians of great renown did I call.
Now the Beloved has come to my house.
May I live with Him for eternity!
Turn away the watchman, O friends!
Bulleh Shah nuptial bed of the Spouse is dear.
O friends, the Savior has redeemed me!
With what an anguish my turn has come!
Now it is hard ever to leave Him.
Turn away the watchman, O friends!
Today my precious, my Beloved has come home.
