“Bullay Noun Samjhawan Ayaan
Bheynaan Tay Bherjaiyaan
Man Lay Bulleya Sada Kena
Chad Day Pala Rayaan ”

No One Knows What Is Hiden Inside
They See Only Happiness

who was of the Arayan cast which is considered below the cast

Aal Nabi Ullad Ali Noun
To Kyoun Leekaan Layaan
“Jeyra Saanoun Syed Saday

ab Sayed bole ga, usko saza mein dozakh miley (because
he denounced himself as being of higher cast as he believed
everyone was equal)

Agar tumne bahaar ka mausam dekhna hai,

Why must I go to Kaaba
When I long for Takht Hazara?
People pay their homage to Kaaba
I bow before my Ranjha.
Remembering Ranjha day and night,
I’ve become Ranjha myself.
Call me Dhido Ranjha,
No more I be addressed as Heer.
I abuse Ranjha but adore him in my heart.
Ranjha and Heer are a single soul,
No one could ever set them apart.
In my passion of union with him,
I’ve lost all count of form;
I laid my bed in the public park
And went to sleep in my lover’s arms.
I am broken, I am bent,
Tell him how I am pining for him;
My disheveled hair, with the tying band in my hand,
Feel not embarrassed, do go and tell him oh messenger!
