"Your love is like a sip of poison
Come, my healer, I am sad
Love has made me dance like mad"
"I've turned away the wise priests,
and approve of the mentally unsound"
"Like the shadow of a house in ruins,
I revolve in my own mind"
"Deem everyone virtuous, there are no thieves
Within everybody, God resides
That trickster! How he puts on masks"
"Some retire to nature in vain
others reduce their food to the grain
Misled they waste away unfed
and end up half alive, half dead
Wasting life in postures feigned
when all in a dot is contained"
- Bullah Shah
