My Beloved Ranjha is Mecca

3 February 2008

For Bulleh Shah every symbol of living – spiritual and temporal -is Ranjha, the beloved!

The text and translation have been contributed by Shahidain

Haajee lok makkey nooN jaaNday
Meyraa raaNjhaa maahee makkaa
nee meyN kamlee haaN

meyN te maNg raaNjhey dee hoiyaaN
meyra baabal kardaa dhakkaa
nee meyN kamlee haaN

haajee lok makkey nooN jaaNdey
meyra raaNjaa maahee makkaa
nee meyN kamlee haaN

wichey haajee wichey gaajee
wichey chor uchakka
nee meyN kamlee HaaN

haajee lok makkey nooN jaaNdey
meyra raaNjaa maahee makkaa
nee meyN kamlee haaN

Jit wal yaar otey wal kaabaa
bhalNweyN phol kitaabaaN chaaray
nee meyN kamlee haaN

The Hajis go to Mecca
My Beloved Ranjha is Mecca
O Friend I am crazy

I have become a fiancee of Ranjha
My father forces me to marry with someone else
O Friend I am crazy

The Hajis go to Mecca
My Beloved Ranjha is Mecca
O Friend I am crazy

In my heart live all the Hajis and ghajjies(Ghazi)
Also lives the thief (nafas) in the Heart

The Hajis go to Mecca
My Beloved Ranjha is Mecca
O Friend I am crazy

On which direction is the Beloved
Kaaba is also in the same direction
Even you explore all four books
O Friend I am crazy
