Poet :Bulleh Shah
Bullah kih janan main kaun?
0 Bullah, what do I know who I am?
I am not among believers seen in mosques…
Nor am I versed in the traditions of unbelief…
I am not among the pious, nor among the sinful…
I am neither Moses, nor am I a Pharaoh…
0 Bullah, what do I know who I am?
I am not in the Vedas, nor in the holy books;….
I am not among hemp-eaters or wine-drinkers….
I am not among profligates, nor among libertines….
I am neither among the awake, nor among the sleeping….
0 Bullah, what do I know who I am?
I am impervious to joy as well as sorrow…
I am not among the virtuous, nor among the wicked…
I am neither of water, nor of earth…
I am neither of fire, nor of air….
0 Bullah, what do I know who I am?
I am not from Arabia, nor from Lahore…
I am not from India, nor from Nagore….
I am not a Hindu, nor a Muslim from Peshawar….
Nor do I reside in the city of Nadaun….
0 Bullah, what do I know who I am?
I have no t solved the mystery of religion…
Nor am I a progeny of Adam and Eve…
Nor have I a specific name of my own…
I am neither among the settled, nor among the roaming….
0 Bullah, what do I know who I am?
I take myself to be the beginning and the end..
I do not recognize any one else…
There is no one who is wiser than I….
0 Bullah, who is the Lord standing there?
0 Bullah, what do I know who I am?
