The owner of the thousand mansions, oh, master! How is it to the Heera-like Heer, whose sound is eternal?
This beautiful couplet, by Bulleh Shah, addresses the master of the magnificent throne. The Shayar suggests that the entire world, the play of existence, is like Heer’s continuous, flowing laughter. It is a captivating sound that echoes through every corner of life. Bulleh Shah reminds us that life itself is a grand spectacle, governed by a divine rhythm, beautiful yet transient, much like the melodious sound of pure joy.
