Ek Nukte Vich Gal Mukdi Ae - Bulleh Shah
Updated: Apr 1, 2020
Ek nukte vich gal mukdi ae Phadd nukta, chodd hisaabaan nu, kar door kufar diyaan baabaan nu. Laah dozakh gor azaabaan nu, kar saaf dile diyaan khavaabaan nu. Gal aise ghar vich dhukkdi eh, Ek nukte vich gal mukdi a
Aiven mattha zameen ghasaida, lamma pa mahiraab dikhaida. Padh kalma lok hasaida, dil andar samajh na liaaida. Kadi baat sacchi you lukdi eh, ik nukte vich gal mukdi eh
Kaee haaji ban ban aaye ji, gal neele jaame paaye ji, Haj baich takey le khaaye ji, bhala eh gal kinnu bhaaye ji. Kadi baat sacchi vi lukdi eh, ik nukte vich gal mukdi eh.
Ik jangal bahireen jaande ni, ik daana roz le khaande ni. Besamajh vajood thakkaande ni, ghar aavan ho ke maande ni. Aiven chilliyaan vich jind sukhdi eh, ik nukte vich gal mukdi eh.
Phadd murshad aabad khudai ho, vich masti beparvaahi ho, Be khaahash be navaai ho, vich dil de khoob safai ho. Bulla baat sacchi kadon rukdi eh, ik nukte vich gal mukdi eh.
It’s all in One contained.
Understand the One and forge the rest.
Shake off your ways of an apostate pest
Leading to the grave to hell and to torture
Rid your mind of dreams of disaster
This is how is the argument maintained
It’s all in One contained.
What use is it bowing one’s head?
To what avail has prostrating led?
Reading Kalma you make them laugh
Absorbing not a word while the Quran you quaff
The truth must be here and there sustained
It’s all in One contained.
Many return from Mecca as hajjis,
Blue shawls across their shoulders.
They profit from the merit earned by haj.
Who can admire such behavior?
The truth must be here and there sustained
It’s all in One contained.
Some retire to the jungles in vain
Others restrict their meals to a grain
Misled they waste away unfed
And come back home half-alive, half-dead
Emaciated in the ascetic postures feigned
It’s all in One contained
Hold fast to your murshid (guide) Become a devotee of all creation, Intoxicated, carefree, Without desire, indifferent to the world. Let your heart be fully clean. Bulla asks, can the truth then be stopped? It’s all in One contained.
