گھنگھٹ اوہلے نہ لک سجنا
میں مشتاق دیدار دی ہاں
The veil will not hide your beauty, my beloved,
I am desperate for the sight of your face.

تیرے باجھ دیوانی ہوئی
ٹوکاں کردے لوک سبھوئی
جے کر یار کرے دلجوئی
تاں فریاد پکار دی ہاں
My heart has become mad for you; everyone is mocking me. Whoever loves you, their heart is joyful; so raise a cry of lamentation.

مفت وکاندی جاندی باندی
مل ماہی جند ایویں جاندی
اک دم ہجر نہیں میں سہندی
بلبل میں گلزار دی ہاں
The market stalls are closed and the woman is veiled,
For the sake of the beloved, my soul is restrained.
I cannot bear this separation, my heart is contained,
Oh, nightingale, in the garden, please sing your refrain.

بلھے شاہ اوہ کون اتم تیرا یار
اوس دے ہتھ قرآن ہے اوسے گل زنار
Bulleh Shah, oh, what a beloved friend you are; / And with your hand is the Quran, oh, lovely flower.
