My Eyes Pour Out Tears
He left me, and himself he departed;
What fault was there in me ?
Neither at night nor in the day do I sleep in peace;
My eyes pour out tears !
Sharper than swords and spears are the arrows of love !
There is no one as cruel as love ;
This malady no physician can cure.
There is no peace, not for a moment,
So intense is the pain of separation !
O Bullah, if the Lord were to shower
His grace, My days would radically change !
He left me, and himself he departed.
What fault was there in me ?

No Other Thought Exists
Repeating the name of Ranjha
I have become Ranjha myself.
O call me ye all “Dhido-Ranjha,”
let no one call me Heer .
Ranjha is in me, I am in Ranjha,
no other thought exists in my mind.
I am not, He alone is.
He alone is amusing himself.

You Alone exist
You alone exist; I do not, O Beloved!
You alone exist, I do not!
Like the shadow of a house in ruins,
I revolve in my own mind.
If I speak, you speak with me:
If I am silent, you are in my mind.
If I sleep, you sleep with me:
If I walk, you are along my path.
Oh Bulleh, the spouse has come to my house:
My life is a sacrifice unto Him.
You alone exist; I do not, O Beloved
Souls Reunited
Staring intensely
Eyes focused
Gaze unaltered
Complete strangers
Or are we?
We talk, we stare
We gaze some more
We don’t speak a word
We embrace
Souls reunited

I’m commenting to make you be aware of of the outstanding discovery my cousin’s girl encountered visiting the blog. She even learned a lot of pieces, not to mention what it is like to have a great helping character to let the mediocre ones very easily know just exactly specific very confusing subject areas. You truly surpassed readers’ desires. Thank you for producing the priceless, dependable, explanatory and also unique tips about the topic to Gloria.
