Oh hermano, ojala pudiera atraparlo con cadenas en sus patas. ¿Has visto una casa de ocho habitaciones con nueve puertas cerradas y abiertas, con ventanas enmedio, reflejadas? Oh mente, ¡eres un pájaro enjaulado! y de verdes barrotes está tu jaula fabricada, pero se romperá algún día Lalon dice: ¡Abre la jaula, observa como el pajaro vuela lejos! really beautiful...

Mira, ¡El extraño pájaro centellea dentro y fuera de la jaula!
Oh hermano, ojala pudiera atraparlo con cadenas en sus patas.
¿Has visto una casa de ocho habitaciones con nueve puertas
cerradas y abiertas, con ventanas enmedio, reflejadas?
Oh mente, ¡eres un pájaro enjaulado! y de verdes barrotes
está tu jaula fabricada, pero se romperá algún día
Lalon dice: ¡Abre la jaula, observa como el pajaro vuela lejos!

really beautiful…

and then i think he was even greater than Rumi and Hafiz in some sense because he wasn’t a theologian or professor as was Rumi or a well educated one like Hafiz. he came from a very modest background, yet his lyrics, poems and ability to unite both hindu and muslims were extremely gifted.
