Chal way Bhllehya Chal
Chal Way Bullehya Chal O'thay Chaliyay
Jithay Saaray Annay
Na Koi Saadee Zaat PichHanay
Tay Na Koi Saanu Mannay
(O' Bulleh Shah let's go there
Where everyone is blind
Where no one recognizes our caste (or race, or family name)
And where no one believes in us)
----------------------------------- ------------
Masjid Dha Day, Mandir Dha Day
Dha Day Jo Kujh Disda
Par Kissay Da Dil Na Dhawee(n)
Rub Dilaa(n) Wich Wasda
Tear down the Mosque, tear down the temple
Tear down every thing in sight
But don't (tear down) break anyone's heart
Because God lives there

THE MORE YOU EVOLVE SPIRITUALLY, THE FURTHER YOU PASS FROM THE UNDERSTANDING OF EVERY MAN.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
Man is held within the change of limited experience or samsara. At best one contacts the manasic stream in his mental sphere and rarely, if ever, trusts to his intuitions. One coins his forms of logic and common sense, which mean nothing in eternity, often to justify his injustice and defend his iniquity. His laws, being based neither upon Nature nor God, are subject to change, decay and dissolution.
The wise man, seeking the eternal verities, is bound neither by such logic nor such law. He may stand alone in the midst of the ignorant, but he knows how to stand; he knows the limits of ignorance and he possesses that knowledge which all yearn for.

Where everyone is blind
Where no one recognizes us
And where no one believes in us

I'd say all of us have more or less done that..
But how does this happen, that a message across time is discovered to have permeated an entire cultural generation? What else - that Bulley said - are we already through?
