Rabbi Shergill
Wanted to put this on blog long long time back.
I like this song a lot sung by Rabbi SherGill and its been sung very well with a lot of meaning in the song. He talks about a Sufu Saint from Punjab called Baba Bulleh Shah. Bulleh Shah (1680-1758) lived during the time just before the proliferation of the printing press, state-sponsored educational institutions and standardized textbooks. Most of what we know about Bulleh Shah's life has come to us through unreliable anecdotes and folklore. The limited authentic historical record, based on sporadic references to events of his life in his poetry and in the writings of his contemporaries, is barely enough for a brief sketch of his life.
Enjoy..
Lyrics:
Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun.
Na main moman vich maseetan, Na main vich kufar dian reetan, Na main pakan vich paleetan.
Na main andar bed kitaban, Na main rehnda phaang sharaban, Na main rehnda mast kharaban.
Na main shadi na ghamnaki, Na main vich paleetan pakeen, Na main aaabi na main khaki.
Na main aatish na main paun, Bulla ki jana main kaun, Bulla ki jana main kaun, Bulla ki jana main kaun, Bulla ki jana main kaun.
Na main arabi na lahori, Na main hindi shehar Nagaori, Na hindu na turk pashauri.
Na main bhet mazhab de paya, Na main aadam hawwa jaya, Na koi apna naam dharaya.
Avval aakhar aap nu jana, Na koi dooja hor pacchana, Mai ton na koi hor syana.
Bulle shah kharha hai kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun
Na main moosa na pharoah, Na main jagan na vich saun, Na main aatish na main paun, Na main rahnda vich Nadaun, Na main baitthan na vich bhaun, Bulle shah kharha hai kaun
Bulla ki jaana main kaun...... Oooooo..... Bulla ki jaana main kaun
Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun.
Na main moman vich maseetan, Na main vich kufar dian reetan, Na main pakan vich paleetan.
Na main andar bed kitaban, Na main rehnda phaang sharaban, Na main rehnda mast kharaban.
Na main shadi na ghamnaki, Na main vich paleetan pakeen, Na main aaabi na main khaki.
Na main aatish na main paun, Bulla ki jana main kaun, Bulla ki jana main kaun, Bulla ki jana main kaun, Bulla ki jana main kaun.
Na main arabi na lahori, Na main hindi shehar Nagaori, Na hindu na turk pashauri.
Na main bhet mazhab de paya, Na main aadam hawwa jaya, Na koi apna naam dharaya.
Avval aakhar aap nu jana, Na koi dooja hor pacchana, Mai ton na koi hor syana.
Bulle shah kharha hai kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun
Na main moosa na pharoah, Na main jagan na vich saun, Na main aatish na main paun, Na main rahnda vich Nadaun, Na main baitthan na vich bhaun, Bulle shah kharha hai kaun
Bulla ki jaana main kaun...... Oooooo..... Bulla ki jaana main kaun

Hey Virdi,
I love the song!
Would really really appreciate an English translation!
Sayesha
Wait, let me try to translate:
Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun.
Tell me who I am(4),
Na main moman vich maseetan, Na main vich kufar dian reetan, Na main pakan vich paleetan.
I am not my mother's son, I am not digging my own grave, I am not boring you,
Na main andar bed kitaban, Na main rehnda phaang sharaban, Na main rehnda mast kharaban.
I don't get anyone into my bed, I don't drink sharaab, I don't know how to party,
Na main shadi na ghamnaki, Na main vich paleetan pakeen, Na main aaabi na main khaki.
No one wants to do shaadi with me, No one will cook for me, and no one likes my khakhi underpants,
Na main aatish na main paun, Bulla ki jana main kaun, Bulla ki jana main kaun, Bulla ki jana main kaun, Bulla ki jana main kaun.
I have no 'drive'. Tell me who I am(3),
Na main arabi na lahori, Na main hindi shehar Nagaori, Na hindu na turk pashauri.
I am not from Arabia or Lahore, nor am I from a hindi town, not even hindu or a bloody turk.
Na main bhet mazhab de paya, Na main aadam hawwa jaya, Na koi apna naam dharaya.
I gave religion but received none, all I got was hot air, and no can can still tell me my name.
Avval aakhar aap nu jana, Na koi dooja hor pacchana, Mai ton na koi hor syana.
You think you are great, that no one else is as good, but I am also a 'shaana'. (smartass)
Bulle shah kharha hai kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Bulla ki jaana main kaun
What does the Shah of Bulle eat? Tell me who am I(3),
Na main moosa na pharoah, Na main jagan na vich saun, Na main aatish na main paun, Na main rahnda vich Nadaun, Na main baitthan na vich bhaun, Bulle shah kharha hai kaun
I am not a moose or a pharoah, I cannot wake or sleep, I have no 'drive', I cannot stay or leave, I cannot sit or stand because I want to know who I am! Tell me who I am (3) Oooooo.. Tell me who I am.
Hahahahahaha! Anil, that was the funniest thing you've ever posted! :)

lmao. eXcellent interpreation of the song. what more your blog comes up as the 1st link for meanings of this song
Hi, Guys good joke but one who have seen god can only understand this song. Bulle shah is discribing God. He took this devine knowledge from his Sadguru Inyat shah.
Don't insult the legends if you don't know anything about them Mr.Virdi. Here is the actual translation for "Bulla Ki Jaana"
BULLA KI JAANA -A Kafi written by Sufi Saint Bulla Shah, sometime in the 18th century
(Bulla! I know not who I am)
(Bulla! I know not who I am)
(Nor am I the believer in mosque)
(Nor am I in the rituals of the infidel)
(Nor am I the pure in the impure)
(Nor am I inherent in the Vedas)
(Nor am I present in intoxicants)
(Nor am I lost nor the corrupt)
(Nor am I union nor grief)
(Nor am I intrinsic in the pure/impure)
(Nor am I of the water nor of the land)
(Nor am I fire nor air)
(Bulla! I know not what I am)
(Nor am I Arabic nor from Lahore)
(Nor am I the Indian City of Nagaur)
(Nor a Hindu nor a Peshawri turk)
(Nor did I create the difference of faith)
(Nor did I create adam-eve)
(Nor did I name myself)
(Beginning or end I know just the self)
(Do not acknowledge duality)
(There’s none wiser than I)
(Who is this Bulla Shah)
(Bulla! I know not who I am)
