Bulle Shah II


On popular demand I am posting the meaning of lyrics by Bulle Shah. Refer original lyrics in my previous post.

Bulle! I dont know who I am
I am not a believer in mosque
I am not in the ritual of infidel
I am not pure among impures
I am not Moses or Pharaoh

Bulle! I dont know who I am

I am not inherent in vedas
I am not present in intoxicants
I am not lost or corrupt
I am not awake or asleep

Bulle! I dont know who I am

I am not in union or grief
I am not intrinsik in pure or impure
I am not of water or land
I am not fire or air

Bulle! I dont know who I am

I am not an Arab nor from Lahore
I am not from Indian city of Nagaur
I am not a Hindu or Peshavri Turk
I dont stay in Nadaun

Bulle! I dont know who I am

I didn't create differences of faith
I didn't create Adam-Eve
I didn't name myself
I am not in inertia or travel

Bulle! I dont know who I am

Either beginning or end I know self
never acknowledged duality
there's no one wiser than me
Who is this Bulle Shah standing.

Bulle! I dont know who I am
