Yes I do agree. Feel free to ask anything about kalam of Sufis.
Can contact on “shahidain@hotmail.com”

Thanks for the nice read, keep up the interesting posts…..

The words are so clearly common and commly used in Sindhi that it was a feeling of so close to understanding this myself and yet so far that i need your kind help. I am amazed at the similarity especially of pabha and saneha.

Accept my apology for a delay because I was trying to find out the actual author of “Umara lageya pabha bhar”. This poem / kalam is written by a poet called “Mazhar Tirmazi.

I shall endavour to give you the gist of the three lines as desired by you. The translation can be improved. I shall also try to get you the english translation whole of this poem very shortly.

‘umara lageya pabha bhar,
haali na waas way kaaleya,
kaadi na sookh saneha galeya”

Standing on tiptoe for a quite long time
Black clouds donot come in the shape of rain
Never have sent a message of well being and happiness.

I can understand Seraiki/Punjabi to a large extent but only after repeatedly listening to people like Abida, Pathany Khan etc but could you help to advise on

umara lageya pabha bhar,
haali na waas way kaaleya,
kaadi na sookh saneha galeya,

Would appreciate a translation (just these three lines, others I can grasp) and a link where I can read the original in shah-mukhi/arabic script.

Let me also give the english translation done by Muzzaffar Ghaffar of

“aik nuktay-ch gal mukdee ayay”

On one point the matters ends

Catch the point, drop the academe
Push away divisions which blaspeme
Cast off hell, the grave, chatisement extreme
Cleanse out the heart’s every dream
Into this house everything descends

On one point the matter end

For nothing we rub foreheads on the ground
Then show off the prayer-mark profound
Reading the karygama people we confound
Into hearts understanding don’t expound
A truthful matter never pretends

On one point the matter ends

Fashioned as returned-pilgrims many came
Then blue robe-wearers they became
Selling their pilgrimage, bread they claim
This matter who can acclaim?
Such a matter into concealment never vends

On the point the matter ends

Some to jungles, to the seas go
Some daily a single grain swallow
Without perception tiredness they stow
They return home emaciated, in imbroglio
Just in prayer-rigours life expands

On one point the matter ends

Take a guide, become the servant of the lord
With wanton ecstasy stay in accord
Devoid of desire become destitution’s ward
In the heart through cleansing record
Bullha the true transcends

On one point the matter ends
