PUNJABI POETRY

Aa Mil Yaar, Saar Le Meri

Aa mil yaar saar le meri, meri jaan dukhaan ne gheri.
Andar khvaab vichoda hoya, khabar na paindi teri.
Sunni ban vich lutti saiyaan, chor shaang ne gheri.
Mullah qazi saahnu raah bataavan, dein dharam de pheri.
Eh taan thug ne jagg de jheevar, laavan jaal chuferi.
Karam sharaan de dharam bataavan, sangal paavan pairi,
Zaat mazhab eh ishk na puchhda, ishk shara da vairi.
Nadiyon paar mulak sajan da, lobh lehar ne gheri,
Satgur beddi phaddi khalote, taen kyun layi a deri.
Bulla shah shauh tennu milsi, dil nu deh dileri,
Preetam paas te tolna kisnu, bhulliyon sikhar dupehri.
Aa mil yaar saar le meri, meri jaan dukhaan ne gheri.

Bhaaven Jaan Na Jaan

Bhaaven jaan na jaan ve, vehdde aa vadd mere.
Maen tere kurbaan ve, vehdde aa vadd mere.

Tere jeha mennu hor na koi, dhoonddaan jangal, bela, rohi.
Dhoonddaan ta saara jahaan ve, vehdde aa vadd mere.

Lokaan de bhaane chaak majhin da, raanjha te lokaan vich kaheeda.
Saadda te deen imaan ve, vehdde aa vadd mere.

Maa pey chhodd laggi ladd tere, shah inaayat saaeen mere,
Laaiyaan di lajj paal ve, vehdde aa vadd mere.

Kalam Sultan Bahoo 

1.
Alif allah chambe di booti, murshad man vich laai hu.
Nafi asbaat da paani mileyo, har ragge har jaai hu.
Andar buti mushk machaiya, jaan phulaan te ayi hu.
Jeeve murshad kaamil bahu, jaen eh booti laayi hu.

2.
Allah paddheyoun haafiz hoiyoun, na geya hijaaboun parda hu,
Paddh paddh aalim faazil hoiyoun, taalib hoiyoun zar da hu.
Lakh hazaar kitaabaan paddhiyaan, zaalim nafas na marda hu,
Baajh fakeeraan koi na maare, eho chor andar da hu.

3.
Eh duniya zan hauz paleeti, keti mal mal dhounde hu.
Duniya kaaran aalim faazil, goushaen bahi bahi rounde hu.
Duniya kaaran lok vichaare, ik pal sukh na saunde hu.
Jinhaan chhaddi duniya baahu, kandhi chaddh khalounde hu.

4.
Andar hu te baahar vi hu, har dam naal chalenda hu.
Hu da daag muhabbat vaala, har dam peya saddenda hu.
Jithe hu kare rushnaai, chhodd andhera vendha hu.
Men kurbaan tinhaan ton baahu, jo hu sahi karenda hu.

5.
Imaan salaamat har koi mange, ishk salamat koi hu.
Mangan imaan, sharmaavan ishkon, dil nu gairat hoi hu.
Jis manzal nu ishk pahunchaave imaan khabar na koi hu,
Ishk salaamat rakhin bahu, diyaan imaan dharoi hu.

6.
Eh tan mera chashma hove, murshad dekh na rajjaan hu,
Luun luun de mudd lakh lakh chashma, ik kholaan ik kajjaan hu.
Itniyaan ditthiyaan sabar na aave, hor kitey val bhhajaan hu
Murshad da deedaar hai baahu, lakh karoddaan hajjaan hu.

7.
Eh tan rabb sachhe da hujara, vich pa fakira chhaati hu.
Na kar minnat khawaaj khizar di, taen andar aab hayaati hu.
Shauk da deeva baal anhere, mat labhi vasat khaddaati hu.
Maran theen agge mar rahe, jinhaan hakk di ramaz pachhaati hu.

Kalam Baba Farid 

Jitt dihaadde dhan vari, saahe laye likhaai, Malku ji kanni suneeda, muhu dikhaale aayi. Jindu nimaani kaddiye, hadda ku khaddakaayi, Saahe likhe na chalni, jindu ku samajhai. Jindu vahuti marnu var, le jaasi parnaai, Aapan hatthi jouli kae, kae gali laggae dhai. Vaalhu niki puraslaat, kani na suniaai, Farida kiddi pavandiyi, khadda na aapu muhaai. 1. Farida, dar darvesi gaakhaddi chalaan duniya bhati, Bannih uthaayi potali, kithae vanya ghati. 2. Kijju na bujhae, kijju na sujhae, duniya gujhi bhaai. Saaen merae changa keeta, naahi ta hambhi dajhaan aahi. 3. Farida, je jaana til thoddaiy, samali buku bhari. Je jaana sahu nanddhadda, taan thoda maan kari. 4. Je jaana laddu chhijna, peeddi paayin ganddhi. Tae jevaddu mae naahi ko sabhu jagu dittha handdhi. 5 Farida, je tu akali lateefu, kaale likhu na lekhu. Aapanadde giruvaan mahi, sir nivaan kari dekhu. 6 Farida, je tae maarani mukkiyaan, tinhaan na maare ghummi. 7. Aapanadde ghar jaiyae, paer tinhaan de chummi. Farida, ja tau khattan vel taan, tu rata duni siyu Marag savaai neehi jaan, bhariya taan ladiya. 8 Dekhu Farida jiu theeya, daaddi hoi bhoor. Agahu nedda aaiya, pichha raheya duur. 9 Dekh Farida jiu theeya, sakar hoi visu. Saaeen baajhhu aapane, vedan kahiye kissu. 10 Farida, akhi dekhi pateeniyaan, suni suni reeney kann. Saakh pakandi aaiya, hor karandi van. 11 Farida, kaali jinheen na raaviya, dhauli raavae koi. Kari saaeen siu peerhaddi, rangu navela hoi. 12 Farida, dhaauli saahibu sada hae, je ko chiti kare Aapna laiya piramu na lagai , je loche sabhu koi Eho piramu piyaala khasam ka, jae bhaavae tae dayi. 13 Farida, jinh loyin jagu mohiya, sae loyin men ddithoo, Kajal rekh na sehdiya, se pankhi sui bahithu. 14 Farida, kuukediyaan, chaangediyaan, mati dediya nit. Jo saitaani vanjhaaiya, se kit pheraiyi chit. 15 Farida, theeyu pavaahi dabhu. Je saaeen lodahi sabhu. Ikuuu chijahi biya litaaddi ahi. Taan saaeen dae dari vaaddi ahi. 16 Farida, khaaku na nindiye, khaaku jeddu na koi. Jivadiyaan paeraan taley, moyaan upari hoi. 17 Farida, ja labu taa nehu kiya, labu taa koodda nehu. Kichru jhati lavaaiye, chapari tutae mehu. 18 Farida, janglu janglu kiya bhavahi vani kanddha modehi, Vasi rabbu hiaaliye, janglu kiya ddhooddehi. 19 Farida, ini niki janghiye, thal doongar bhavi omi. Aju Faridae koojadda, sae kohaan thee omi. 20 Farida, raati vaddiyaan, dukhi dukhi utthani paas. Dhiggu tinha da jeeveya jinha viddaani aas. 21 Farida, je men houda vaareya mita aiddiyaan. Haedda jalae majeeth jiyu upari angaara. 22 Farida, loddae daakh bijooriyaan, kikari beeje jatt. Handdae unn kataaida, paidha loddae patt. 23 Farida galiye chikaddu duur gharu, naali piyaare nehu, Challaan te bhijjae kambali, rahaan te tuttae nehu. 24 Bhijju sijju kambali allah varasyu mehu Jaayi mila tinhaan sajana tutayu naahi nehu. 25 Farida, men bhelaava pag da, matu maili hoi jaai. Gahila roohu na jaani, siru bhi mitti khaai. 26 Farida, sakar, khanddu, nivaat, gudd, maakhyu, maanjha, dudh. Sabhe vastu mitthiyaan, rabb na pujni tudh. 27 Farida, roti meri kaath ki, laavan meri bhukh. Jinhaan khaadi choupaddi, ghaney sahenge dukh. 28 Rukhi sukhi khaayi ke, thanda paaani piyu. Farida, dekhi paraayi choupaddi, na tarsaaye jiyu. 29 Ajj na suti kant siyu, angu muddey muddi jaayi. Jaai puchhu dohaagani, tum kyu raen vihayi. 30
