Lyrics
Original Version
بلھا کیہ جاناں میں کون
نہ میں مومن وچ مسیت آں
نہ میں وچ کفر دی ریت آں
نہ میں پاکاں وچ پلیت آں
نہ میں موسٰی، نہ فرعون
بلھا کیہ جاناں میں کون
نہ میں اندر وید کتاباں
نہ وچ بھنگاں، نہ شراباں
نہ وچ رِنداں مست خراباں
نہ وچ جاگن، نہ وِچ سون
بلھا کیہ جاناں میں کون
نہ وچ شادی نہ غمناکی
نہ میں وچ پلیتی پاکی
نہ میں آبی نہ میں خاکی
نہ میں آتش نہ میں پون
بلھا کیہ جاناں میں کون
نہ میں عربی نہ لاہوری
نہ میں ہندی شہر نگوری
نہ ہندو نہ ترک پشوری
نہ میں رہندا وچ ندون
بلھا کیہ جاناں میں کون
نہ میں بھیت مذہب دا پایا
نہ میں آدم حوّا جایا
نہ میں اپنا نام دھرایا
نہ وِچ بیٹھن، نہ وِچ بھَون
بلھا کیہ جاناں میں کون
اوّل آخر آپ نوں جاناں
نہ کوئی دوجا ہور پچھاناں
میتھوں ہور نہ کوئی سیانا
بلھا! اوہ کھڑا ہے کون
بلھا کیہ جاناں میں کون
Translated Version
I do not believe in mosques, I do not believe in blasphemy,
I am not the unclean among the righteous, I am neither Moses nor Pharaoh.
Who am I?
I don't have books inside, neither cannabis nor alcohol,
In no way do you fall asleep, in no way do you wake up in no way do you sleep.
Who am I?
Neither marriage nor sorrow, nor purity in me,
Not me Abi, not me Khaki, not me Atish, not me Paon.
Who am I?
Neither I am Arabic nor Lahori, nor am I the Hindi city of Nagauri.
Neither Hindu nor Turk Pashori, nor I live in Nadoun.
Who am I?
I did not find the secret religion, nor did I become Adam Hawa.
I didn't mention my name, I didn't sit in it, I didn't even look at it.
Who am I?
First and last, let me know myself, and not anyone else,
Who is standing wiser than me, Bullah Shah?
Who am I?
