My heart yearns, O Beloved, for your face,
Come home, let me gaze upon your grace.
I know naught else, my heart knows but this plea,
My heart yearns, O Beloved, only for thee.
You are the flame, a burning, raging fire,
I am the moth, consumed by my desire.
If just once, you would deign to meet my eyes,
Then, in that moment, I would gladly die.
My heart yearns, O Beloved, for your face,
Come home, let me gaze upon your grace.
I know naught else, my heart knows but this plea,
My heart yearns, O Beloved, only for thee.
You are fire, a consuming, burning blaze,
And I shall be the ash in your sunlit days.
For you, your love, your every single word,
Against the world, my battles will be stirred.
Falsely I'll feign anger, with each tear I weep,
I'll drift away, leave this world to sleep.
I'll drift away, erase my very self from sight,
I'll drift away, and vanish in the night.
Listen, listen, come, oh come to me,
Yield, yield to me, come and set me free.
My heart yearns, O Beloved, for your face,
Come home, let me gaze upon your grace.
I know naught else, my heart knows but this plea,
My heart yearns, O Beloved, only for thee.
All shame and social bounds, I cast aside,
No limit's left, no boundary to confide.
No longer do I care for whispered frowns,
I have crossed all the limits that life surrounds.
Falsely I'll feign anger, with each tear I weep,
I'll drift away, leave this world to sleep.
I'll drift away, erase my very self from sight,
I'll drift away, and vanish in the night.
Listen, listen, come, oh come to me,
Yield, yield to me, come and set me free.
Bulleh Shah, your sisters and cousins came to scold,
"Listen to us, Bulleh, your story must be told,
Leave this path of love, your madness to cease,
Forget the lineage of Ali’s release."
For every word, alms I seek,
Each night I burn, never weak.
With every breath, a hope I weave,
Again and again, my love I cleave.
Love is a river of fire, my Dear, I must cross,
Erase all else, and only you be my loss.
Unthinking, unseeing, I gave my all,
Where are you? Where am I if we fall?
You are my beginning, my end, my all,
Never will I see you fall.
You are the doctor, I am the disease,
Without you, I'll surely cease.
Falsely I'll feign anger, with each tear I weep,
I'll drift away, leave this world to sleep.
I'll drift away, erase my very self from sight,
I'll drift away, and vanish in the night.
Listen, listen, come, oh come to me,
Yield, yield to me, come and set me free.
My heart yearns, O Beloved, for your face,
Come home, let me gaze upon your grace.
I know naught else, my heart knows but this plea,
My heart yearns, O Beloved, only for thee.
Behold, in this quest for you, my treasure is lost,
My Master, my Guide, to you I am tossed.
Falsely I'll feign anger, with each tear I weep,
I'll drift away, leave this world to sleep.
I'll drift away, erase my very self from sight,
I'll drift away, and vanish in the night.
I'll drift away, erase my very self from sight,
I'll drift away, and vanish in the night.
I'll drift away, erase my very self from sight,
I'll drift away, and vanish in the night.
Listen, listen, come, oh come to me,
Yield, yield to me, come and set me free.
