Additional quotes by Bulleh Shah
If I tell a lie, something is left out;
If I speak out the truth, there is a blaze.
My mind fears both the alternatives,
But haltingly my tongue speaks out.
Words that come to my tongue cannot be held back.
If I were to unravel the mysteries,
All would forget to discuss and debate.
They would then kill our friend Bullah,
For only the hidden truth befits here.

By going to Mecca the mystery is not obtained,
so long as the ego is not annihilated.
By going to the Ganga the mystery is not solved,
though you may take a hundred dips in it.
By going to Gaya the mystery is not solved,
though you may offer many rice-cakes at funerals.
O Bullah, salvation will be obtained
only when the 'I' is completely eliminated.
