Ishq Di Naween Naween Bahar BY Bulleh Shah LYRICS
Ishq di naween naween bahar
Love is ever new and fresh
Jad main sabq Ishq da parhya
Masjid kolon jeyorra darya
puch puch thakur dowarey warrya
Jithey wajdey naad hazaar
The day I learn the lesson of Love
I was scared of the mosque and dreaded fasts
I looked around and entered a temple
Where sounded many a drum-blast
–
Ishq dee naween naween bahar
Love is ever new and fresh
Vaid, Quran parh parh thakey
Sajdey kardiyaan ghis gaye mathey
Na Rab Tirath, na Rab Makkeh
Jis paya tisa noor anwaar
Tired of reading the Vedas and Quran
Kneeling and prostrating my forehead shorn
At Mathura or Makka He does not dwell
He who has found Him, only he can tell
–
Ishq dee naween naween bahar
Love is ever new and fresh
Phook musalah, bhann sit lota
Na parh tasbi, kaasa, sota
Ashiq kehndey dey dey hoka
“Tark hlaalon, kha murdar”
Burn the prayer mat, break the water pot
Quit the rosary, threw away the staff
Lovers say at the top of their voice
Leave the kosher and eat the shot
–
Ishq dee naween naween bahar
Love is ever new and fresh
Heer Ranjhey dey ho gaye meley
Bhuli Heer dhondi beley
Ranjhan yaar baghal wich kheley
Surt rhi na, surt sambhal
Heer and Ranjha have already met
In vain she looks for him in the orchard
Ranjha lies in the folds of her arms
Having her love, she has gained him hard
