Mera Piya Ghar Aaya (My Beloved Has Come Home) English Translation
ReplyDeleteKalam: Baba Bulleh Shah
Come, dear friends and, felicitate me on my good fortune!
I have found my consort in my beloved!
Turn away the watchman!
My beloved has come home!
God has made this union possible.
O what a beautiful miracle!
Again and again lie strikes the gong,
And cuts he short the night of union.
If he were to find my heart’s desire,
He would throw away the gong, O friends!
Turn away the watchman, O friends!
Wondrous is the sight of His face!
The pain of my heart has all vanished,
How to extend the length of this night?
Place a wall against the day, O friends!
Turn away the watchman, O friends!
I have no knowledge even of myself;
What do I know where I’ve reached!
How can this fact remain a secret?
Now has descended the perfect grace!
Turn away the watchman, O friends!
resorted to many a love-charm;
Magicians of great renown did I call.
Now the Beloved has come to my house.
May I live with Him for eternity!
Turn away the watchman, O friends!
Bulleh Shah’s nuptial bed of the Spouse is dear.
O friends, the Savior has redeemed me!
With what an anguish my turn has come!
Now it is hard ever to leave Him.
Turn away the watchman, O friends!
Today my precious, my Beloved has come home.
