I can’t defy saying what comes to my lips

I can’t defy saying what comes to my lips

But, if I speak truth, chaos is created

It saves temporarily, if I lie, but its deceit

My heart dislikes both truth and deceit

I’m afraid of both, here and hereafter

I can’t defy saying what comes to my lips

Go slowly; darkness moves away bit by bit

Search thy light within yourself bit by bit

Why people search for it outside their spirit

I can’t defy saying what comes to my lips

Whoever is attained with truth from Deity?

He gains knowledge of his soul and his Deity

He is thus the blessed soul of shrine of peace

Once elevated is never broken down to pieces

I can’t defy saying what comes to my lips

To be courteous is the very essential

A norm to which all follow is essential

Deity is in every human being we know

If He is in me; then why not in thou

Sometimes Deity is seen, at times hidden

I can’t defy saying what comes to my lips

When Bullah Shah’s blessing is with me

Without him, there could none else be

His ignoring of me is anguish and pain

My vision’s unable to foresee that pain

I can’t defy saying what comes to my lips

……………….
