Daily Gyaan

by Bulla Shah, 18th Century Sufi Saint

Bulla! I know not who I am
Bulla! I know not who I am

Nor am I the believer in mosques
Nor am I a believer in Idol worship
Nor am I in the pure or the impure

Nor am I in the vedas
Nor am I in intoxicants or liqour
Nor am I the carefree deviant

Nor am I in union or parting
Nor am I in the pure or impure
Nor am I of the water or the land
Nor am I fire nor air
Bulla! I know not what I am

Who is this Bulla Shah?
Bulla! I know not what I am



The Urdu/Punjabi Original:

Bulla ki jana main kaun
Bulla ki jana main kaun

Na main moman vich maseetan
Na main vich kufar dian reetan
Na main pakan vich paleetan

Na main andar bed-kitaban
Na main rehnda bhang-sharaban
Na main rehnda mast-kharaban

Na main shadi na gamnaki
Na main vich paleetan pakeen
Na main aabi na main khaki

Na main aatish na main paun
Bulla ki jana main kaun

Bulla Shah Kharha hai kaun
Bulla ki jana main kaun
