Ghazal
بلّھیا کیہ جاݨاں میں کَون
This ghazal is a profound self-introduction where the poet transcends all conventional boundaries of identity. The speaker declares that he belongs to no specific religion, culture, or geographical location. It speaks to the universal nature of human existence and the journey towards spiritual realization.

نہ میں مومن وچ مسِیتاں
نہ میں وچ کُفر دِیاں رِیتاں
نہ میں پاکاں وچ پلیتاں
نہ میں موسیٰ نہ فرعون
I am not in the ways of the monotheists,
Nor in the ways of the infidels,
Nor in the ways of the pure,
Nor am I Moses, nor am I Pharaoh.
I am not in the ways of the monotheists, nor in the ways of the infidels, nor in the ways of the pure, nor am I Moses, nor am I Pharaoh.

نہ میں اندر بید کِتاباں
نہ وچ بھنگاں نہ شراباں
نہ وچ رِنداں مست خراباں
نہ وچ جاگن نہ وچ سون
Neither within the ved scriptures, nor the books,
Nor in the thoughts, the wine, nor the ruinous deeds.
Neither in the intoxication, nor the broken homes,
Neither in the waking state, nor in the sleep.
Neither in the Vedas or the scriptures, nor in the intoxicating wine or the ruinous deeds; neither in the waking state nor in the sleep.

نہ وچ شادی نہ غمناکی
نہ میں وچ پلیتی پاکی
نہ میں آبی نہ میں خاکی
نہ میں آتش نہ میں پون
I am not a marriage, nor am I a joy-bringing thing,
I am not a pure, beautiful, lovely thing.
I am neither water nor am I earth,
I am neither fire nor am I wind.
I am not a marriage, nor am I a joy-bringing thing; I am not a pure, beautiful, lovely thing. I am neither water nor am I earth, nor am I fire nor am I wind.

نہ میں عربی نہ لاہوری
نہ میں ہندی شہر ناگوری
نہ ہندو نہ تُرک پشاوری
نہ میں رہندا وچ ندون
Neither am I Arabic nor am I Lahori,
Neither am I Hindi nor am I Nagauri.
Neither am I Hindu nor am I Turk of Peshawar,
Neither do I belong to any single place.
I am neither Arabic nor Lahori, nor am I Hindi nor Nagauri. I am neither Hindu nor a Turk of Peshawar; I belong to no single place.

نہ میں بھیت مذہب دا پایا
نہ میں آدم حوّا جایا
نہ میں اپنا نام دھرایا
نہ وچ بیٹھن نہ وچ بھَون
I neither found the religion, nor did I reach the state of existence; I neither established my own name, nor did I sit in thought or in contemplation.
I neither found the religion, nor did I achieve the state of humanity; I neither established my own name, nor did I sit in thought or in contemplation.

اوّل آخر آپ نوں جاݨاں
نہ کوئی دوجا ہور پچھاݨاں
میتھوں ہور نہ کوئی سِیاݨاں
بُلّھا! اوہ کھڑا ہے کَون
First, know yourself completely,
No other person can recognize you.
From others, no one is truly wise,
Bulla! Tell me, who stands there?
It means that you must first know yourself, because no other person can recognize you. And no one among others is truly wise; Bulla! tell me, who stands there.
