Aa Mil Yaar Saar Lai Meri Shabad by Saaeen Bulleh Shah Ji with Translation in E/H/P

Shabads are hymns or spiritual poems written by saints and mystics from different spiritual traditions of the Indian subcontinent. The shabads convey a deep message of truth and are sung with heartfelt devotion. They express the intense longing of the soul for union with the Lord. These songs of devotion are prayers that inspire the true seeker to turn inwards to contact the ultimate Truth – the inner divine music that reverberates within every being. English Translation: Come, Friend, come to my help – my life is steeped in troubles! In a dream, I became separated from you; on waking, I could not find you. Alone in a jungle, I have been robbed, O Lord, and thieves and dacoits surround me. Come, Friend, come to my help – my life is steeped in troubles! Mullahs and qazis lead me astray through a maze of religious rituals. They are like bird hunters and thugs who have laid their nets everywhere. Come, Friend, come to my help – my life is steeped in troubles! They preach the so-called ways of piety – which are chains around my feet. Love cares not for caste or creed; it is the opposite of orthodox religion. Come, Friend, come to my help – my life is steeped in troubles! The land of the Beloved lies across the river, yet waves of avarice have engulfed me. The Master is holding the boat – why do you tarry, why this delay? Come, Friend, come to my help – my life is steeped in troubles! O Bullah, you will surely realize the Lord; give your heart encouragement. The Beloved is right within you – whom do you search for outside? Why are you deluded in broad daylight? O Bullah, you will surely realize the Lord; give your heart encouragement. The Beloved is right within you – whom do you search for outside? Why are you deluded in broad daylight? Come, Friend, come to my help – my life is steeped in troubles.
