Ghoongat Chuk O Sajna - Lift your veil, My Beloved; Kalam-e-Baba Bulleh Shah [Translated in English]

Ghungat chuk 0 sajjanan

Lift your veil, my Beloved! Why do you feel bashful now?

Your curly locks' entwine my heart,
They bite me like the serpents.
You do not pity my sad plight,
You look at me with blood-shot eyes.
Lift your veil, my Beloved!

You flung your arrow of two eyes,
Aimed at the breast of poor me!
Inflicting a wound, you hid your face:
Who taught you such tricks, my love?
Lift your veil, my Beloved!


The dirk of separation
You aimed with such perfection,
I got disheartened, disillusioned.
You never cared to call on me,
Your promises proved so brittle!
Lift your veil, my Beloved!

With your love, 0 dear,
You captured my heart.
Never later you showed your face.
This cup of poison I drank myself,
I was indeed an unripe innocent.
Lift your veil, my Beloved!

0, king Inayat, these are not empty words,
I sorely look for you on every side.
Steady all through, how can I waver?
Even today I am true to my word.

Lift your veil, my Beloved!
Why do you feel bashful now?
