اندر خواب وچھوڑا ہویا، خبر نہ پیندی تیری
In the dream's depth, my beloved is lost, I cannot find you.

مُلّاں قاضی راہ بتاون، دین دھرم دے پھیرے
ایہہ تاں ٹھگ جگت دے جھاڑ، لاون جال چوفیرے
O Mullan Qazi, you are a deceiver, who gives the pretense of religion and faith,
You are a cunning trickster who throws a net of falsehoods.
O Mullan Qazi, you who show the way, giving the pretense of religion and faith; you are a deceiver who throws a net of falsehoods.

کرم شرع دے دھرم بتاون، سنگل پاون پیریں
ذات مذہب ایہہ عشق نہ پُچھدا، عشق شرع دا ویری
The action may be bad, but the path of righteousness is shown; the nature and religion are not questioned by this love, for love is the enemy of all.
The action will show the righteousness; the forest wind passes. This love does not question caste or religion, for love is the enemy of all.

ندیؤں پار اے ملک سجن دا، لہر لوبھ نے گھیری
ستگُر بیڑی پھڑھی کھلوتے، تیں کیوں لائی اویرے
Having crossed the river, O beloved land, your waves are not deep; why do you come here, adorned with the garment of longing?
Having crossed the river, O beloved land, your waves are not deep; why do you come here, adorned with the garment of longing?

بُلّھے شاہ، شوہ تینوں مِلسی، دل نوں دے دلیری
پریتم پاس تے ٹولنا کِس نوں؟ بھلّیوں سکھر دوپہرے
Bulleh Shah, your body is a mystery; your heart, a constant struggle.
To measure the Beloved's proximity with the scales of love, it is like the passing of a cloud on a summer afternoon.
