rum

تو ملا، رب ملا

(When I found you, I found God.)

Mere sabar da mainu sabab milya

میرے سبب کا مجھے سبب ملا

(I found the reason behind my existence.)

Aaj milya, bhave kal milya

آج ملا، بھاوی کل ملا

(Whether I found you today or tomorrow, it doesn’t matter.)

Siveyan tak teri rooh nal miln da haq milya

سیویاں تک تیری روح سے ملنے کا حق ملا

(Till the graveyard, I got the right to connect with your soul.)

Tu har haneri raat da chanan banke

تو ہر اندھیری رات کا چاند بن کے

(You became the light of every dark night.)

Meri rooh vich aa ke aiwe ral milya

میری روح میں آ کے یوں ہی گھل ملا

But I say unto you, they are inseparable.

Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”
