Bullah, ki jaana main kaun!

Bullah! I don't know who I am.

I am not a believer in the mosque.
Nor a pagan disciple of false rites.
Nor am I the pure amongst the impure.

I am not in the Vedic Texts.
Neither in Opium, nor in wine.
Nor in the drunkard's intoxicated daze.
I am neither in happiness nor in sorrow.

Neither filthy, nor pure.
Not form water, nor from earth.
I am not born of the fire, nor from air.

I am neither Arab, nor Lahori.
Not Indian, nor Nagauri.
I am not Hindu, Turk, nor Peshawari.

I have not found the secret of religion.
Nor am I from Adam and eve.
I am not in this name, which I am known by.

I know myself as the first and the last.
I have never known someone otherwise.
None is wiser than me

Bullah Shah! Do I stand alone?

I am neither Moses, nor Pharoah.
Neither awake, nor in a sleeping daze.
I am not born of the fire, nor from air.
Nor do I live in Nadaun.
I am not still, nor moving.

Bullah Shah! Do I stand alone?

Bullah, ki jaana main kaun!
