Urs of Bulleh Shah
The annual Urs of Bulleh Shah, the Punjabi mystic poet, concluded yesterday in Kasur yesterday. Bulleh’s poetry reflected his rejection of orthodox hold of mullahs over Islam, the nexus between the clergy and the rulers and all the trappings of formal religion that created a gulf between man and his Creator. A common theme of his poetry is the pursuit of self-knowledge that is essential for the mystical union with the Beloved.

Your translation was beautiful and most worthy
It captures the essence of the Sufi path and I liked it as much as the other wonderful poem. Thank you for an excellent and uplifting post 
Ya Haqq!
