Bulla ki jaanna mai kaun


Pi sharaab tey kha kabab,
heth baal haddaan di ag,

Bulleha bhan ghar rab da,
ais thuggan de thug noo thug."

Drench yourself in wine and feast on roasted flesh,
roasting in the fires flaming out of the bones.

O Bulleha, break into the house of God
and swindle the cheat of cheats.

- Bulleh Shah [1680-1758]
