Sunday, January 02, 2005 Sufi Music - Rabbi Shergill and more (This music is exceptional so will deviate from the blog theme :) The new album by Rabbi Shergill, based on Sufi Music of 18th century is very soothing. Even though most of the people who have heard this album, dont understand the meaning, they find it uplifting. Here is a link to the song "Bulla ki jaana maen koun" And here is the one of the "good" translations of the song. However, as we all know, any translation can achieve only so much. I find the original text to be much more intense and full with feelings Not a believer inside the mosque, am I Nor a pagan disciple of false rites Not the pure amongst the impure Neither Moses, nor the Pharoh Bulleh! to me, I am not known Not in the holy Vedas, am I Nor in opium, neither in wine Not in the drunkard`s craze Niether awake, nor in a sleeping daze Bulleh! to me, I am not known In happiness nor in sorrow, am I Neither clean, nor a filthy mire Not from water, nor from earth Neither fire, nor from air, is my birth Bulleh! to me, I am not known Not an Arab, nor Lahori Neither Hindi, nor Nagauri Hindu, Turk (Muslim), nor Peshawari Nor do I live in Nadaun Bulleh! to me, I am not known Secrets of religion, I have not known From Adam and Eve, I am not born I am not the name I assume Not in stillness, nor on the move Bulleh! to me, I am not known I am the first, I am the last None other, have I ever known I am the wisest of them all Bulleh! do I stand alone?Bulleh! to me, I am not known posted by Ravi Trivedi | 1:47 PM | |
