Bullah Ki Jaana Maen Kaun

Song: Bulla Ki Jana
Lyrics: Bullah Shah


Na maen momin vich maseet aan
Na maen vich kufar diyan reet aan
Na maen paakaan vich paleet aan
Na maen moosa na pharaun.

Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen andar ved kitaab aan,
Na vich bhangaan na sharaab aan
Na vich rindaan masat kharaab aan
Na vich jaagan na vich saun.

Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun.

Na vich shaadi na ghamnaaki
Na maen vich paleeti paaki
Na maen aabi na maen khaki
Na maen aatish na maen paun

Bulleh!, ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen arabi na lahori
Na maen hindi shehar nagauri
Na hindu na turak peshawri
Na maen rehnda vich nadaun

Bulla, ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen bheth mazhab da paaya
Ne maen aadam havva jaaya
Na maen apna naam dharaaya
Na vich baitthan na vich bhaun

Bulleh , ki jaana maen kaun

Avval aakhir aap nu jaana
Na koi dooja hor pehchaana
Maethon hor na koi siyaana
Bulla! ooh khadda hai kaun

Bulla, ki jaana maen kaun

English Translation: 

Bullah! I know not who I am.

Nor am I  the believer in mosque 

Nor am I in the rituals of the infidel

Nor am I the pure amongst the impure

Nor am I inherent in the vedas.

Nor am I present in the intoxicants

Nor am I lost amongst the corrupt.

Nor am I union, nor grief 

Nor am I intrinsic in the pure/impure 

Nor am I of the water, nor of the land 

Nor am I fire, nor air.

Bullah! I know not who I am... 

Not an Arab, nor Lahori
Neither Hindi, nor Nagauri
Hindu, Turk (Muslim), nor Peshawari
Nor do I live in Nadaun

Bullah! I know not who I am... 

Secrets of religion, I have not known
From Adam and Eve, I am not born
I am not the name I assume
Not in stillness, nor on the move

Bullah! I know not who I am... 

I am the first, I am the last
None other, have I ever known
I am the wisest of them all
Bullah! do I stand alone?

Bullah! I know not who I am...
