31) Bulleh Shah Rub kook sunay
32) Tay may chaak dee chaak ho jawan
— Bulleh Shah
Meaning
Bulleh Shah, listen to the story; the cup of wine is sweet, but the cup of death is even sweeter.
Explanation
In this profound couplet, Bulleh Shah speaks of the transformative power of divine love. He suggests that if the Beloved (or the divine truth) simply listens to your heart's song, it will dissolve all the superficial layers of your existence. The 'chaak' here represents the remnants of ego, worldly attachments, and pretense. To be dissolved means to be purified and reborn into a state of pure devotion, guided only by the sweet melody of the soul.
