Baba Bulleh Shah in Translation

Posted: Nov 17, 2007 Sat 01:52 pm     Views: 948    Interacts: 5

Baba Bulleh Shah di Kafi
Parrh Parrh Aalim Faazil Hoya
Kaddi Apney Aap noo Parrheya hi nahin

Jaa Jaa Warda Mandir Maseetaan
Kaddi Mun Apney Vich tun Wardeya ee Nahin

Ainwayn Roz Shaitaan dey naal Larda
Kaddi Nafs Apney Naal Lardeya ee nahin

Bulleh Shah Aasmaanin Uddiyaan Phardaa
Jaidha Ghar Baitha Ohnun Phardeya ee Nahin

------------------------------------------------------------


Study ing Baba Bulleh Shah's books over
and over you want to be a learned man
but you never study your innerself

you run to enter mosques and temples
but you never enter into your innerself

you fight Satan in vain daily
but fighting your ego you care not

Baba Bulleh Shah says this -
you run after what you've lost
but push aside what you've got

-tr. Ravi Kopra

kuntakinte /atif chutiyay.

Atif pappoo, chiknay chiknay, I think you want to be basted by both Ravi and Shore Sahib.

Squeal like a pig boy, squeal....

After reading your last few posts I have come to one conclusion; you and Shoresahib should probably hook up and play house together. Only problem with you two would be to figure out which one of you two has the dick to play a man.

You’ve Studied much and become Brilliant, A Scholar!
Yet, Never your own innerself you study

You enter temples and mosques in many a places
Yet, Never your own being you infiltrate

In vain, You crusade against Satan daily
Yet, Naught against your ego you struggle

Bullhey Shah, You apprehend celestial truths
Yet, Grasp the Mundane you have Not

ShoreSahib, thanks for your comment.

Please tell me what lines have been translated inaccurately.
You are welcome to define the difficult Punjabi words in English.

Ravi Sahib,
I dont think your translation is accurate from the original Punjabi!
