Dohe of Bulleh Shah
muñh dikhlāve aur chhape chhal-bal hai jagdīsh
paas rahe har na mile is ko bisve biis
The stories of human-animal love are not too rare. Here is an atypical story of love between a queen
and a peacock told by no less a master craftsman than Meer Taqi Meer (1723-1810).
This verse- narrative known as More Naama has survived through two centuries
and has been acknowledged as an exemplar of Meer’s skill of telling a tale in a poetical framework which is allegorical in nature and far reaching in appeal

उस दा मुख इक जोत है, घुंघट है संसार ।
घुंघट में ओह छुप्प गया, मुख पर आंचल डार ।।
बुल्लया मैं मिट्टी घुमयार दी, गल्ल आख न सकदी एक ।।
तत्तड़ मेरा क्यों घड़या, मत जाए अलेक-सलेक।।
बुल्लया औंदा साजन वेख के, जांदा मूल ना वेख ।
मारे दरद फ़राक दे, बण बैठे बाहमण शेख ।।
बुल्ला कसर नाम कसूर है, ओथे मूँहों ना सकण बोल ।
ओथे सच्चे गरदन-मारीए, ओथे झूठे करन कलोल ।।
उन को मुख दिखलाए हैं, जिन से उस की प्रीत ।
उनको ही मिलता है वोह, जो उस के हैं मीत ।।
इकना आस मुड़न दी आहे, इक सीख कबाब चढ़ाइयां ।।
बुल्लेशाह की वस्स ओनां, जो मार तकदीर फसाइयां ।।
होर ने सब गल्लड़ियां, अल्लाह अल्लाह दी गल्ल ।
कुझ रौला पाया आलमां, कुझ काग़जां पाया झल्ल।।
आई रुत्त शगूफ़यां वाली, चिड़ियां चुगण आइयां ।
इकना नूं जुर्रयां फड़ खाधा, इकना फाहीआं लाइयां ।।
बुल्लया कसूर बेदस्तूर, ओथे जाणा बणया ज़रूर ।
ना कोई पुंन दान है, ना कोई लाग दस्तूर ।।
