Jaan main sabq Ishq da parhya
Masjid kolon jeyorra darya
poch poch thakur dowrey warrya
Jithey wajdey naad hazaar
— Bulleh Shah
Meaning
In my heart, I learned the lesson of love; / From the mosque to the river, the path is vast. / From the temple to the court, the struggle is great; / Where a thousand sounds resonate.
Explanation
This profound couplet by Bulleh Shah speaks of the journey of the heart. The Shayar suggests that the ultimate lessons of love are not found in physical places, but in the flow of life itself—the river. The constant, humming vibration, the 'Naad hazaar,' represents the omnipresent divine presence. It is a reminder that true knowledge comes from recognizing the divine rhythm that permeates every corner of existence, guiding the soul back to its source.
