45) May naheen woh aap hay
46) Apney aap karay dil joi
— Bulleh Shah
Meaning
If it is not that thing, it is you. To fix the heart, do it by yourself.
Explanation
This profound couplet speaks to the ultimate source of transformation. Bulleh Shah gently guides us away from seeking solace in external things—be it worldly pleasures or temporary intoxication. He suggests that the power to heal the weary heart does not come from outside. Instead, the journey of mending the spirit is an internal act. The true intoxication, the deep peace, and the cure for the soul reside within our own conscious effort and realization.
