I will inflame the fiery Sun…..Bulleh Shah

In Punjabi followed by a not-so-great translation….

Tooney kaaman kar ke ni maeN peyaara yaar manaavaaN gee

Es tooney nu parh phookaaN gee, suraj aggan jalaavaaN gee.
Tooney kaaman kar ke ni maeN peyaara yaar manaavaaN gee.

AkhiyaaN kaajaal kaalay baadal, bhawaaN say aag laagaavaaN gee.
Tooney kaaman kar ke ni maen peyaara yaar manaavaaN gee.

Aur basaat naheeN kujh meri, joban dharee gundaavaaN gee
Tooney kaaman kar ke ni maen peyaara yaar manaavaaN gee.

Sat samundar dil de andar dil se lehr uthaavaaN gee.
Tooney kaaman kar ke ni maen peyaara yaar manaavaaN gee.

Bijlee ho kar chamak draavaaN, maen baadal ghir ghir jaavaaN gee.
Tooney kaaman kar ke ni maen peyaara yaar manaavaaN gee.

Ishak angeethee harmal taarey, suraj aggan charhaavaaN gee.
Tooney kaaman kar ke ni maen peyaara yaar manaavaaN gee

Na maen beyaahee na maen kawaaree, beyta goed khidaavaaN gee,
Toone kaaman kar ke ni maen pyaara yaar manaavaangi

laa makaaN dee patree baih ke, bulleh naad wajaawaaN gee.
Toone kaaman kar ke ni maen pyaara yaar manaavaangi
