Rab-rab karde buddhe ho gaye mullaan pandit sare
rabb da khoj khura na labheya sajde kar-kar haare
rabb te tere andar vass si
vich quraan ishaare,
bullhe shaah rabb os noon mil si
o jehda apne nafs nu maare.
Pundits and mullahs have passed their entire lives in calling out god’s name
but despite endless prostrations, they failed to find a trace of god,
it is within you that god resides, as the qur’an shows
bulleh shah, he who kills his own base desires is the one who finds god.
O na kar bandya meri meri
meri meri_meri meri
na teri na meri
na kar bandya meri meri
meri_meri meri_meri
char dina da mela
duniya fer mitti di dheri.
O human, leave off this battle for worldly possessions
nothing here can ever truly belong to us
o human, leave off this battle for worldly possessions
the glittering spectacle of this world only lasts a few days
and then everything turns to dust.
Rab-rab karde buddhe ho gaye mullaan pandit sare
rabb da khoj khura na labheya sajde kar-kar haare.
Na kar bandeya meri meri meri meri meri meri
na teri na meri,
na kar bandeya meri meri meri meri meri meri
chaar dina da mela
duniya fer mitti di dheri.
Na teri na meri
na teri na meri
char dina di
char dina di dunia,
char dina di dunia.
Naa kar bandeya teri meri teri (x3)
na kar bandeya.
Chall bulleya chal othe challiye jithe saare anne
na koyi sadi zaat puchhe nah koi saanu manne
chall bulleya chal othe challiye jithe saare anne (x2).
come, bulleh shah, let’s go to a place where everyone is sightless
where no one asks us about our lineage, and no one revers us
come, bulleh shah, let’s go to a place where everyone is sightless.
Na kar bandeya meri meri
meri meri meri meri meri
na teri na meri,
na kar bandeya meri meri
meri meri meri meri meri
char dina da merla duniya fer mitti di dheri (x3).
