Mein Tere Qurban Ve, Panwan Tu Jaan Na Jaan Ve - Kalam-e-Baba Bulleh Shah [Translated in English]

O, my friend, everything is entrusted to you.
My body and soul are yours.

I am ugly but you are my master
You save my honor.

It is up to you whether you recognize me or not.
At least come down to my place (my courtyard).

I will sacrifice myself for your welfare.
Come down to my place.


There is no other like you.
I looked into t he jungles, desert and everywhere in the whole world.

Come down to my place.
Ranjha is the buffalo grazer.

People call him Ranjha, but for me he is my religion and my faith.
I left my parents for your love.

All I need is a look of your love.
Bad or good, I am yours – your slave.

I cannot claim to be your slave, even.
I am the slave of your slaves.

Shah Inayat** is my Master.
O my Master, save my honor.

Come down to my place.

·  Ranjha is the hero of a Punjabi romance story.
**  Shah Inayat is the spiritual guide of  Baba Bullah Shah.


This Kafi has said to have been sung by Baba Bulleh Shah when his master, Shah Inayat became upset with him and didn’t speak with him hoping to teach him a lesson in humility - Dirt
