Thanks for info

Pathay Khan’s version of this kafi (and incidently tusse vee uchay) is on this link

http://www.apnaorg.com/video/pkhan/

BULHE NU SAMJHAWAN AAINAN BHAINAN TE BHARJAIAN
To counsel Bulleh, his sisters in law have come

MAN NE BULHYA SADA KAHNA CHAD DE PALLA RAIAAN
Pay heed to us and give up mixing with the low caste Araeen

AAL-E NABI AULAD-E NABI NUN TOON KION LEEKAN LAINAN
You are a scion of Ali,the Prophet, why must you shame our fair clime.

JEHRA SANOON SYED SADDE DOZAKH MILAN SAZAIAAN
Those who call me Syed, are destined to hell made for them

JO KOI SANOON RAEEN AAKHE BHISHTEEN PEENGAN PAIAAN
Those who call me Araeen, have the swings in heaven laid for them

RAEEN SAEEN SABHI THAEEN RAB DIAN BE PARWAAIAN
The low caste and the high caste, are created by God who cares not for family

SOHNIAN PARE HATAIAN NE TE KOJHIAN LE GAL LAAIAN
He regards the beautiful and cherishes the not so comely.

JE TU LOREEN BAAGH BAHAARAN CHAKAR HO JA RAEEAN
If you wish to enjoy the glory of the Garden, go and serve the Araeen

BULHE SHAH DI ZAAT KI PUCHNA-EN SHAKAR HO RAZAAIAN
Why bother about Bulleh’s caste? Obey the command that comes from Saeen

(Translation by K S Duggel)

I do agree with your comments. This kafi was first sung by Pathanay Khan and then followed by Abida Perveen. If you recall that we intially thought that ” Umraan-langheean-pabhaan-phaar” is Khawaja Ghulam Fareed kafi, whereas it is written by a poet Mazhar Tirmizi.

“Tussan uchay tusandi zaat uchi,
Tussan Uch shahar day rahan walay,
Asaan kasoori, sadi zaat kasoori,
Asaan shaher Kasoor day rahan walay”

Taken from http://www.folkpunjab.com/abida-parveen/assan-ishq-namaz-jadoon-neeti-ae-2/

So it must be a lesser known poet albiet a popular one among kafi singers like Abida & Pathanay Khan

JEHRA SANOON SYED SADDE DOZAKH MILAN SAZAIAAN
JO KOI SANOON RAEEN AAKHE BHISHTEEN PEENGAN PAIAAN
RAEEN SAEEN SABHI THAEEN RAB DIAN BE PARWAAIAN

SOHNIAN PARE HATAIAN NE TE KOJHIAN LE GAL LAAIAN
JE TU LOREEN BAAGH BAHAARAN CHAKAR HO JA RAEEAN
BULHE SHAH DI ZAAT KI PUCHNA-EN SHAKAR HO RAZAAIAN

You say prayers upon prayers
You scream and yell loudly
Sitting on the pulpit, you deliver sermons
Greed has brought disgrace upon you ( Prof Saeed)

Another version of translation

Endless extra prayers you offer
Jarring prayer-calls are released from your coffer
Mounting pulpit, sermon you proffer
Wretched you became through greed ( Muzaffar Ghafar)

For Naveed Siraj, this “tussee wee uchhay, tohaadee zaat vee uchee, tusse vich uch day randay, assee kasooree, sadee zaat kasooree, asee vich kasoon day randay” has been added by Pathnay Khan himself we don’t find these refrains in any of the book written on Bulleh Shah. What I believe that there is not any word play, it has only been said to have a high regard/admire for the Murshid.

For Sidhusaahab. I have left a brief introduction on Baba Farid Life and Khawaja Farid Life at “Khawoja Fareed- The mystics voice of Soutern Punjab” you might find it informative.

A few couplets said by Bulleh shah regarding Mullas.

“Mulla tay mashaalchi dohaan ikko chit
Loukan karday chananan, aap anhairae vich “

Mullah and the torch-bearer, both from the same flock
Guiding others; themselves in the dark

“Parh parh masley roz sunaavey
Khaanaa shak shubey da khaweyn
Daseyn hor te hor kamaaweyn
Ander khot baahir suchyaar”

You deliever sermons everyday
You eat the food of suspicion and doubt
You preach something and act inversly
Inwardly you are corrupt but outwardly you are pious

“dharamsal vich dharvi rahinde, thakur dware thug
vich maseet kusatti rahinde, aashik rahin alag”

In temples reside the ruffians, in gurudwaras, the thugs
In mosques reside the liars, the true lovers (of the Divine), stay aloof from all these.

A thousand prayers for Pathanay Khan; May his soul rest in peace; the whole day i have been humming this kafi
