Shrine of Sultan Bahoo

11. Impure World

اِیہہ دُنیا زَن حیض پلیتی، ہرگز پاک نہ تِھیوے ھُو

جیں فقر گھر دُنیا ہووے، لعنت اُس دے جیوے ھُو

حُبّ دنیا دی ربّ تھیں موڑے، ویلے فکر کچیوے ھُو

سہ طلاق دُنیا نوں دئیے بَاھُوؒ، جیکر سچ پچھیوے ھُو

ਅਲਿਫ਼

ਇਹ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਜ਼ਨ ਹੈਜ਼ ਪਲੀਤੀ, ਹਰਗਿਜ਼ ਪਾਕ ਨਾ ਥੀਵੇ ਹੂ

ਜੇਂ ਫ਼ਕਰ ਘਰ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਹੋਵੇ, ਲਾਹਨਤ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਜੀਵੇ ਹੂ

ਹੁੱਬ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਦੀ ਰੱਬ ਥੀਂ ਮੋੜੇ, ਵੇਲ਼ੇ ਫ਼ਿਕਰ ਕਚੀਵੇ ਹੂ

ਸੇਹ ਤਲਾਕ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਨੂੰ ਦਈਏ ਬਾਹੂ(ਰਹ), ਜੇਕਰ ਸੱਚ ਪੁਛੀਵੇ ਹੂ

Alif

Eh dunya zann haize paleetee, hargiz paak na theeve Hoo

Jain Faqr ghar dunya hove, laanat os de jeeve Hoo

Hubb dunya dee Rabb theen morre, wele fikr kacheeve Hoo

Seh talaaq dunya noon daeeye Bahoo, jekar sach pocheve Hoo

World as impure as menses; pure it will never be

Claiming Faqr but hoarding wealth-curse on such men

Understand that world’s desire will lead you apart, ponder now!

O Bahoo, truth be told! Let go of world like a woman divorced thrice

Sultan ul Ashiqeen spreads Ism e Allah Zaat

Explanation by Sultan ul Ashiqeen​

The world is like the woman who is passing through her menstruation and cannot be sanctified even after many baths. Similarly, this impure and filthy world cannot be purified. The one who claims to follow Faqr but has collected the riches of world and fosters love for them is cursed because the worldly attractions divert him from the path of Faqr and entrap in their love. The seeker must avoid it. When a woman is divorced thrice, she becomes illegitimate for ex-husband according to sharia therefore no relation is possible with her. Similarly, you must divorce the world and liberate yourself from it.
