68) Khayrray karday koorriyan gallan
69) Jogi dey mayrrhay may cir tay jhallan
— Bulleh Shah
Meaning
For those who do good, their talks are wonderful, and for the ascetic, the fire of the heart is a blazing torch.
Explanation
In this profound couplet, Bulleh Shah advises us to distinguish between mere chatter and genuine wisdom. He suggests that while people may fill the air with flattering or superficial words, the true, transformative message will come from the sincere voice of the spiritual guide—the Jogi. The Shayar reminds us that true knowledge isn't found in empty conversations, but in the deep, resonant song of truth.
