I know not who I am
I am neither a believer going to the mosque.
Nor given to non-believing ways.
Neither clean nor unclean.
Neither Moses nor Pharaoh.
I know not who I am.
I am neither among sinners nor among saints;
Neither happy nor unhappy.
I belong neither to water nor to earth.
I am neither fire nor air.
I know not who I am.
Neither do I know the secret of religion,
Nor am I born of Adam end Eve.
I have given myself no name.
I belong neither to those who squat and Pray,
Nor to those who have gone astray.
I know not who I am
I was in the beginning, I'd be there in the end.
I know not any one other that the one.
Who could be wiser than Bulleh Shah
Whose master is ever there to tend?
I know not who I am.
I am neither a believer going to the mosque.
Nor given to non-believing ways.
Neither clean nor unclean.
Neither Moses nor Pharaoh.
I know not who I am.
I am neither among sinners nor among saints;
Neither happy nor unhappy.
I belong neither to water nor to earth.
I am neither fire nor air.
I know not who I am.
Neither do I know the secret of religion,
Nor am I born of Adam end Eve.
I have given myself no name.
I belong neither to those who squat and Pray,
Nor to those who have gone astray.
I know not who I am
I was in the beginning, I'd be there in the end.
I know not any one other that the one.
Who could be wiser than Bulleh Shah
Whose master is ever there to tend?
I know not who I am.
(Baba Bulleh Shah
