जद मैं सबक़ इश्क़ दा पढ़िया दरिया देख वहदत दा वड़िआ घुम्मण घेरीं दे विच अड़िआ शाह इनायत लाया पार
— Bulleh Shah
Meaning

From the ocean of love, I have learned a lesson; to see the oneness in the river's flow. The circling movements create a pure bliss, when Shah Inayat brought the crossing over.

Explanation

Bulleh Shah invites us on a journey of profound spiritual realization. He suggests that the true lessons of love (Ishq) are not found in books, but are revealed through experience. Just as the river flows into the vast ocean, the ocean holds a secret oneness (Wahdat). This couplet beautifully describes how the grace of the Divine King (Shah) guides the soul across the turbulent waters of existence, bringing ultimate peace and knowledge.
