kalam baba Bulleh Shah rab Milda Purity of intentions translated Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmed Naqshbandi
If the Divine is found through ablutions, surely frogs and fish would find him first
If the Divine is hidden in jungles, the cattle would have discovered him by now
O Bulleh, the Divine is found by those with pure and true heart
Jeh Raab milda naatheya dhoteya ta milda dadua machiya
Jeh Raab milda jangal bele ta milda gaua bachiya
Jeh Raab milda vich masiti ta milda cham chidikiya
Bulleya Raab ohna nu milda nitta jena diya sachiya
Poem by Bulleh Shah (1680–1757)
