Abyat-e-Bahoo


جیں دل عشق خرید نہ کیتا سو دل درد نہ پھُٹی ھُو
اس دل تھیں سنگ پتھر چنگے جو دل غفلت اٹی ھُو
جیں دل عشق حضور نہ منگیا سو درگاہوں سُٹّی ھُو
ملیا دوست نہ انہاں باھُوؒ جنہاں چوڑ نہ کیتی ترٹی ھُو

Translation

Such heart that has not purchased ardent love does not have longing pain Hoo

Stones are better than those hearts, in ignorant filth they remain Hoo

Those hearts, which never desires ardent love and presence, from court is sent Hoo

Divine friend not achieved by those ‘Bahoo’ their livelihood who have not spent Hoo

Commentary by M. A. Khan

Such heart that does not acquire ardent love does not have longing pain and it is without emotions. People with such kind of ardent love in their heart will be evicted from the Majestic court of Allah Almighty. Those hearts, which are not aware of such form of love stones are, better than them. Those hearts, which never desires ardent love in the presence of Almighty Allah shell, be thrown out of the Divine court of Allah. Those who have not spent their livelihood in search of pleasure of Allah Almighty will not be able to access Divine friend.
