Bullah Shah, I cannot find you in the embrace of grace; you are the one who brought me to the bank of separation and life. My life was sacrificed, and I found you, my beloved; you made me dance with your love, and thus I came into being.
Bulleh Shah beautifully captures the depth of divine love here. He suggests that the grace (Inayat) that descends upon us is not found in the physical world, but rather in the spiritual embrace of the Beloved. The true source of ecstasy and intoxication, he implies, is the divine love (Ishq) that makes us dance and become utterly consumed.
