FOREWORD in accessing advante garde outpourings of the great Bhai Nand Lal.

Bhai Nand Lal ‘Goya’ (1633-1713), the great exegete of Sikhism, Gurdev Singh
occupies a unique place of honour and reverence among the Sikhs. His President
works form a part of approved Sikh canon and are recited in Gurdwaras. Date : June 3, 2003 Institute of Sikh Studies
Most of his writings are in Persian except a few like Jot Vigas which is Place : 6506 Horseman Trail
in Punjabi. Summerfield - NC. 27358
When Sardar Pritpal Singh of Canada proposed that his rendering USA
of Bhai Nand Lal’s works in English may be published by the Institute
of Sikh Studies, the idea was welcome as it would provide an easy
access to valuable Sikh lore to the younger generation who do not
know Persian. The Institute, therefore, accepted the proposal and Sardar
Pritpal Singh was asked to send his translation. It is an English rendering
of the Punjabi translation of Bhai Nand Lal’s verses done by renowned
scholar Dr Ganda Singh that had been published by the Punjabi
University, Patiala under the title Granthavali of Bhai Nand Lal.
It was considered apt that before publication, the script should be
seen through by an expert well versed in Persian and English. Prof.
Gurdial Singh ‘Aarif’ who is well known Persian scholar (Munshi Fazil)
and had been teaching English at Government College, Chandigarh was
requested to check its language. He has accomplished the job deftly
and has also gone through the printed proofs.
I appreciate Sardar Pritpal Singh for taking this praiseworthy
initiative and producing his scholarly lucubration. He also collected
funds to help the Institute defray its publication expenses. Prof. (Dr)
Kirpal Singh, the eminent historian and scholar of Persian, who was
Editor of the Abstracts of Sikh Studies - the journal of the Institute -
handled this project eruditely on behalf of the Institute and he was ably
assisted by Maj Gen (Dr.) Jaswant Singh who, working tirelessly,
contributed his laudable acumen to the publication of Bhai Nand Lal’s
works in Persian.
I express my sincerest thanks to all of them and my honourable i

Finance member of the Institute of Sikh Studies. He writes, “When in
school I was asked by my father to learn Persian so that I could recite
verses of Bhai Nand Lal to him in his old age. I learnt Persian though
my father died young. Therefore, I was emotionally involved in the
publication of this monumental work.”
We express our deep sense of gratitude to Sardar Pritpal Singh
Bindra the author of the book who with zeal and devotion translated
the complete works of Bhai Nand Lal from Punjabi to English. He
laboured for long time for this pioneering work. English and Punjabi
translations side by side of the complete works of Bhai Nand Lal are
being published for the first time. The author also collected money for
its publication which is commendable.
We are grateful to Prof Gurdial Singh Aarif M.A. (English), Munshi
Fazal (highest degree in Persian) and author of a couple of books in
Urdu poetry. He acceded to my request to go through the entire script
from the language point of view. He diligently worked for line to line
editing and made several corrections. My thanks are due to Sardar
Gurdev Singh, IAS (retd.) who took keen interest in this project and
wrote its foreword, to Dr Kharak Singh for his occasional advice and
guidance and Maj Gen Dr Jaswant Singh for arranging its production,
publication, and diligently going through the typedscript.

COMMENTS
Translating poetry from one language to another is extremely
difficult, if not impossible. This is truer when it comes to translating
oriental poetry into a European Language. Subtle meaning of some of
the words has no adequate equivalent as certain expressions defy
description. One example will suffice to make the point: Mother
considered to be a dense shade of the Banyan tree would have to be
spoken of as the sunshine in European context.
English language has its limitations, but in the hands of some one
with love at heart for subtle and fascinating couplets i.e. the Kalaam
rendered by the likes of Bhai Nand Lal Goya, it becomes the language of
poetry. Pritpal Singh Bindra, famous for his book Thus Sayeth Gurbani,
which was received by all with great enthusiasm and won him the coveted
Akali Phoola Singh Award, undertook the challenge and rendered some
of the most fascinating couplets (Kalaam) of one of the court-poets of
Guru Gobind Singh
It proves without doubt that a spark and love for the person
of Bhai Nand Lal and his writings coupled with tremendous reverence
for Guru Gobind Singh and, by his Grace, Sardar Bindra has achieved
the unachievable and rendered the beautiful Ghazals and Couplets of
Bhai Sahib into English. The book will be treasured in the homes of
the Sikhs of the Guru as well as the admirers of the poetry written by
Bhai Sahib.
Sardar Pritpal Singh Bindra has done justice to whatever he
selected for inclusion in this volume. My wish is that he should render
other writings of Bhai Nand Lal into English, which will, perhaps, form
a part of the next edition of Kalaam-e-Goya.

COMMENTS
Kalaam-e-Goya, the poetry of Bhai Nand Lal Goya translated
by S. Pritpal Singh Bindra, winner of Akali Phoola Singh Book Award
‘98 is an attempt to help the Sikh Jagat to enjoy the outpourings of the
mystic mind of Bhai Nand Lal who chose to spend the Autumn of his
life in Anandpur Sahib living in close proximity of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
Sixty-one Ghazals Nineteen Rubayaats and a few Baits bring
the readers to perceive the transcendental mind of Bhai Sahib, which
has no boundaries. The metaphoric universe of Ghazals through de-
automatised psyche produces wise passiveness, mental silence and
choiceless attention in readers who get wonderstruck at the beatitude
of Goya’s expression.
Bhai Nand Lal takes us to the oceanic stage of relating,
responding and becoming through his Rubaiyaat and urges us to cultivate
our own gardens of love. The language of Bhai Nand Lal’s poetry is
fathomlessly strange, enigmatic and takes us to “the other kind of seeing”.
It helps us to dissolve our ego through I’m.

BHAI NAND LAL GOYA
(1633 – 1713)
Outside Guru Granth Sahib, the holy Sikh scripture (consecrated
1604AD), and next to the Epics and Quatrains of Bhai Gurdas (1551-
1637AD), the Kalaam-e-Goya, the poetry of Bhai Nand Lal Goya (1633-
1713AD) is considered to be the most ardent by the celebrated literary
enthusiasts and the lay-zealots. He was a contemporary and the poet laureate
of Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708AD).
His father, Diwan Chhaju Ram, was in the employ of the court of
Prince Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of Emperor Shah Jahan, at the regional
capital of Multan. When Dara Shikoh moved to Ghazni in Afghanistan,
Diwan Chhaju Ram accompanied him and was appointed the chief secretary
of the royal court. Bhai Nand Lal was born there in 1633AD when his
father was just above the age of fifty.
The boy Nand Lal was very brilliant and, apart from good
knowledge of Persian and Arabic languages, he gained an insight into
the temporal and the spiritual values of life. It is said that, when a religious
priest wanted to put a wooden necklace around his neck to initiate him
into the Vaishnav denomination, he refused to acquiesce. He wanted to
gain full religious knowledge before he would consent to the ritual. His
age at the time was seventeen (Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha specifies it as
12).
He was still under twenty when his father died. According to
the custom prevalent, he was offered a job in the royal court, which
was much lower in rank. He wanted to take over his father’s position.
He was dismayed and, after selling all his property there, and collecting
all the money, he moved back to Multan (now in Pakistan), at his parental
abode.
Wasif Khan, the Mughal Chief at Multan had been a friend of
his father. He offered him the job of a secretary. Through his hard work
and intellectual capability, he soon took over the administration as the
principal secretary. Some accounts contend that he rose to the position
of Deputy Governor of the Province.
There, he was married to a girl belonging to Sikh religion. he
was very much impressed by the thoughts and the spiritual values depicted
in the verses in Guru Granth Sahib rendered by his wife.
In 1682AD he came on a pilgrimage to Amritsar and from there
he decided to proceed to Anandpur Sahib to seek celestial enlightenment
at the portal of Guru Gobind Singh, the Tenth Master. Aurangzeb had
issued strict orders banning all activities pertaining to art and music. It is
assumed that Bhai Nand Lal moved to Anandpur to escape the
Emperor’s wrath against the literary endeavour in general.
Although Bhai Jee did create exquisite poetry, yet he did not
gain much prominence. A diamond remains obscured, covered in the
dust till it is captured by the vision of a shrewd assayer. When he
presented himself at the Celestial and Temporal Court of Guru Gobind
Singh, he tendered and recited his epic poem Bandgi Nama, An Ode to
Worship. It overwhelmed Guru Jee aesthetically and he wrote a couplet
at the back of the book,
‘Whose cup is filled with nectarous aqua,
‘He gets the epistle of life revealed to him.’
And the name Zindgi Nama, The Epistle of Life, was assigned to
the book.
He did not stay at Anandpur Sahib for a long time. It is said that on
the recommendation of Guru Jee, in about 1678AD, he joined the cerebral
faculty of Prince Muazzam (later Emperor Bahadur Shah) and accompanied
him to the South as his principal secretary.
Emperor Aurangzeb once asked the exposition of a certain Ayat
(Couplet) from the Holy Quran. Various Mohammedan priests
expounded it but the Emperor was not convinced. The interpretation
presented by the Prince seemed very authentic and, on enquiry, the
Emperor learnt that Bhai Nand Lal, a Hindu, had explicated it. he
commented why such a learned and intelligent person had not come in
the folds of Islam as yet. Suspecting Aurangzeb’s motive, he escaped
and came back to Anandpur after about one year. (This could be one
of the points of Aurangzeb’s vengeance on Guru Jee).
Although Guru Jee wanted Bhai Nand Lal to stay there just
contemplating on his literary works, his humility led him to spend most of his
time serving in the Langar, the community kitchen.
He was at Anandpur up to 1705AD when, under the deceitful
promises of the Mughal forces, Guru Jee had to abandon the place. In
the melee that followed, the whole family was scattered. Nothing much
is known about his whereabouts till the death of Emperor Aurangzeb. It
appears that he rejoined his previous master, Prince Muazzam, who
had crowned himself as the Emperor under the name of Bahadur Shah.
It is said that Bhai Nand Lal was instrumental in persuading Mata Sundri
and Mata Sahib Deva to move to Delhi after the upheaval of Anandpur
Sahib. They stayed there till the last days of their lives.
Hari Ram Gupta (History of the Sikhs) maintains that Bhai Nand
Lal was present at the Emperor’s Lohgarh campaign against Banda
Bahadur in 1710. When Bahadur Shah died in 1712 he accompanied
his son Jahandar Shah and came to Delhi. Farukh Siyar assassinated
Jahandar Shah in 1713AD. Bhai Nand Lal, somehow, escaped the
rage of Farukh Siyar and went to Multan. ‘There he opened a school to
impart higher education in Persian and Arabic. he died in 1718AD*. In
1849, on Punjab’s annexation, the British found this school functioning
under the patronage of Nand Lal’s descendants.’
*According to Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha - 1705AD and Dr. Ganda
Singh - 1713AD

Ghazal One
A yearning for celestial adoration engendered my existence,
Otherwise, I fancied not the tangibility.(1)
How creative is the life passed in his retention,
Diversely, what gain do I have under this blue dome?(2)
With the lack of your remembrance I wane,
And without your recollection what use is my living?(3)
My heart and soul I sacrifice at the altar of that pious being,
Who revealed to me this kindly light.(4)
Neither there was the earth, nor the sky,
When the obsession for a glimpse of yours brought me down to pay my
obeisance.(5)
Oh Goya, I can endure not, without pondering upon you,
And soon I will be liberated to converge onto my benefactor.(6)(1)

Ghazal Two
Both, the temporal and the heavenly worlds are in the halter of the
fairy-faced benefactor.
And both the domains are not worth the price of my friend’s one hair.(1)
We can face not even one sidelong blink of the friend’s looks,
Enough is for us, his one glance, which grants us a long life.(2)
He epitomises a Sufi, sometimes he becomes a venerator and sometimes
he is self-absorbed.
Clever though he is, he is multifarious.(3)
Who else can appreciate his pinkiness except a fancier?
The value of the garnet is assessed only through the vision of a gems’
assayer.(4)
Through all the moments and all the winks, Goya remains alert,
To relish the vanity of the benefactor’s vision.(5)(2)

Travellers on celestial paths must have reverence,
Along with the remembrance in their hearts and the rendition on their
lips.(1)
At all the places, the resplendence of the God, Almighty,
We have found absorbed in the congregation of the elderly.(2)
Without his vision, the temporal eyes attain not the light,
Because we perceive the Lord among all his people.(3)
Our eyes are opened not, without his splendour,
And then, in all the creation, we find the Almighty.(4)
The dust of the pious feet enlightens the heart,
Subject to your affinity with the people advancing on his path.(5)
Who is there, Goya, whose aspirations are fulfilled not,
Provided he has fully subdued his mind (ego).(6)(5)

Ghazal Six
If the heart is full of compassion, my friend, you are already in his lap.
And with the omnipotent vision, his glimpse all around can be intuited.(1)
Every where is his glimpse, and without his glimpse what good is the
existence?
As every where exists (the pious mountain of) Toor and the fire of his
splendour.(2)
If you have a mindful head, then, go and place it at his feet.
If you have a life to retain, advance and sacrifice it for his cause.(3)
If you have hands, proceed and use them to hold his apparel.
And if the power is still there in your feet, then progress along and
approach him.(4)
If ears have the faculty of listening, why would they heed anything but
his name?
And if the tongue is capable of oration, it will recite in each word his
hidden message,(5)
Whereas the Brahmin is engrossed in idol-worship, the Momin (Muslim
priest) is revering the graves.
I feel intoxicated at all the places where I come across the cups of your
veneration.(6)
Stride not on the path of the love like Mansoor, This path leads the
traveller’s first step towards the sacrificial noose.(7)
Like Goya, if your potentiality is to dole out pearls,
Whatever you possess, you disburse in the name of your
benefactor.(8)(6)

Ghazal Seven
The beggar along your street has no aspiration for the kingdom.
Neither he wishes to rule, nor has be a yearning for the royal crown.(1)
One, who prevails over the domain of his heart, epitomises a king.
And the one who achieves him, is matched by no other veteran.(2)
The beggar in your avenue is the sovereign of both the worlds.
The juvenile slave of your tresses needs no emancipation.(3)
There exists no eye, which is exalted not with your radiance,
And there survives no bosom, which is not endowed with celestial
treasures ?(4)
Sacrifice yourself for him and make no hesitation, Goya,
Because there is no place for vacillations in our dealings.(5)(7)

Passed through my vision, has the unkind lover,
And I went by expending my life through my own eyes.(1)
The mist of my sighs surpassed such limits in the skies,
That it spread blue all around and scorched its heart.(2)
He made me a martyr with just one signal through his eye brows.
There exists no remedy now when the arrow is already out of the bow.(3)
I could not achieve the knowledge of my tangibility.
Alas, all the efforts of my existence turned futile.(4)
Goya, the one who passes, just once, through the fancier’s street,
He desires never to proceed to the heavenly garden.(5)(8)

We have flaunted neither our devotion nor apathy,

Goya has uttered no other word, except the Almighty,
Because the Almighty is the exonerator.(5)(9)

In the assembly of ours, none is conversed about except the sweetheart,
Without hesitation come in as no one is a stranger there.(1)
Shed the eccentricity and know your own self,
As a knower of self remains not an alien to the Almighty.(2)
The one who strives for him, is the master of his heart,
And this needs neither a clever person nor an adherent.(3)
Oh, you the counsellor, how long are you going to narrate the parables?
This is the congregation of self-absorbed ones and there is no place for
fiction.(4)
Celestial treasures are bestowed only on the heartthrobs,
Why are you roaming around in the jungles, as they are never found in
the corners of the wilderness?(5)
Go and beg this treasure of fondness of the godly lovers,
Because, even, in their temporal life, there is nothing but Celestial
Name.(6)
How long are you going to tattle like that, Oh, Goya, better it is to keep
quiet,
Emancipation is not obtainable, either at Kabah or at the place of the
idols.(7)(10)

If the heart of mine passes through the halter of her tresses,
It would deem to have gone through the countries of Khutan, China-
Machine and Khatai*.(1)
One glance of your semblance, for me, is the sovereignty of both the
worlds.
Being under the shadow of your tress, far excels the spectrum of the
wings of Huma**.(2)
Optimistically, steer the capital of your life span,
As I know not, which way the early morning breeze may come and
go.(3)
The sovereignty of both the worlds, is nothing but tumult,
And the holyman does not take that as the Godly benevolence.(4)
About passing through this destitute land, what you have asked ?
There, they all will go through, the kings as well as the indigent ones.(5)
The couplets of Goya, are endower of life like the immortal water.
Moreover, in piety, they, even, surpass the life rejuvenators.(6)(11)
* China and adjoining countries.
** Huma is a mythological bird which stays in the skies and any body
passing under its shadow attains kingship

Tonight he may proceed to have the glimpse of the sweetheart,
And he may advance towards that shrewd idol-breaking lover.(1)
Although, arriving at the lover’s lane is exacting,
Yet, like Mansoor, passing through noose, he can achieve the goal.(2)
Oh, my mind, you may not have faculty for the school,
(3) But, at least, you can go to the house of intoxication.(3)
When my heart, in your affection, has become the envy of the garden,
How can it go to the garden which has become ineffectual.(4)
Oh my mind, when you have become an acquaintance of Godly doings,
You, the treasure of mysteries, can retire into my bosom.(5)

When there are hundreds of gardens open in your own home,
O Goya, why would one go to all those temporal portals.(6)(12)

Behold, at last the explorer of Divine Name took the way to the Godly
domain,
And has earned the profit out of this precious long life.(1)
No human is outside the span of your sable tresses,
And even my devout mind is affected and is going crazy.(2)
Now, when her elevated stature has created place in our vision,
Nothing, except that strolling cypress tree, flatters our discernment.(3)
The (tolling of the bell in the neck of the) she-camel of Laila has excited
my mind,
Which has got self-absorbed like Majnu and is proceeding to the

Nothing suits me since the time her love story captured my heart,
And nothing appeases me except the true tale of her love.(5)
If you come for a moment I will present the pious gift,
Which our pearly eyes has preserved like the lively flowers of the
poppies.(6)
Today, my life is springing out of both my eyes, as the chances Of her
glimpse have vanished till the day of judgement.(7)
Except the remembrance of God, nothing comes on tongue.
At last, Goya’s heart has earned the profit out of his living.(8)(13)

Ghazal Twenty-one
The eastern breeze combing through her tresses,
Seems like an exotic chain coiling around, encasing my agitated heart.(1)
Since the primordial times, we presume, the human frame,
He, himself, has created for his own abode.(2)
The heart of a lover soon turns into that of the beloved,
And, from head to feet, he becomes the embodiment of the darling.(3)
Just for one piece of bread, why are you roaming around, mean one ?
You know, how the urge for grabbing an iota made Adam the slave of
greediness.(4)
Do not relate Laila’s anecdote to the distraught Goya,
As the Majnu’s narrative is fathomed only by a crazy like me.(5)(21)

Ghazal Twenty-two
People pay their obeisance eighteen thousand times towards your portal,
And all the time they perform circumambulations around the Holy Kabah
of your avenue.(1)
Wherever they may see, your splendour is visible,
And those with rent heart are sufficed to have a perception of your
countenance.(2)
They have renounced their lives for your magnanimous attributes,
And they apply your fragrance to enliven the inert ones.(3)
Your semblance is the epitome of godly phenomenon,
And they behold the image of Almighty through your visage.(4)
Those, with raven hearts and devoid of vision, are not constrained,
They bring round the sun to relate it to your delineation.(5)
In your fondness, the crazy enthusiasts fill the world with clamour,
And they even relinquish hundreds of lives for the sake of just one
strand of your hair.(6)
When the resplendence from under your veil, spreads your brilliance,
In every direction your splendour is deliberated on.(7)
Allured by your fondness, Goya is reflecting upon you,
Because he takes melodic sweetness from the fragrance of your
diction.(8)(22)

Oh, you, that your astral eyes, are not bound by the temporal domains,
And even the sun in the sky becomes insignificant when it faces you.(1)
To catch the lover’s heart, the hunting sweetheart,
Needs nothing but the halter of your tresses.(2)
At least, consider this life as benevolence,
As we have not come across any morning which culminates not in an
evening.(3)
How long may I console my mind?
Because, without your glimpse, I feel not any alleviation.(4)
Goya, the eye, which sprinkled pearls, has turned into a river,
Because there is no solace without the vision of your comforting
semblance.(5)(23)

Ghazal Twenty-four
Till the time your life endowing red lips speak,
There can descend no remedy for our aches.(1)
The thirsty lips are yearning for your nectarous lips,
As they can be quenched not through Khizr (aquatic-god) or, even,
Maseeha the Saviour.(2)
The heartache, we have gained, has no remedy,
And no contentment is there till the life is consumed.(3)
I declared to offer my being, to gain just one of her twinkles,
But she said, no bargaining can come between you and me.(4)
With an obsession to be in the interlaced tresses of the sweetheart,
I go, but the cluster of my heart untangles not without you.(5)
We cannot perceive the extent of the shore of desire,
Till the time our eyes emerge not as a sea.(6)
Goya, in your recollection, even my eyes have become bloodless,
What can I do ? There is no consolation without you.(7)(24)

What, if you show your semblance, which is quintessence of the full
moon?
Then, Oh, My Moon, what will you lose meeting me this evening?(1)
The whole world is the prisoner of your tresses,
And if you untie it, would it harm you?(2)
The whole world is plunged in the darkness without you,
And if you appear like the sun, would it harm you?(3)
Come, may be momentarily, and posture in my vision,
O, you, the filcher of my heart, if you engross my perceptions, would it

This black mole, which is relishing your face,
If you trade it for humanity, would it harm you?(5)
You are subsisting in my vision, then, whom am I searching for?
If you advent from behind this curtain of invisibility, would it harm you?(6)
Goya is searching for you in all the directions,
If you make him visualise the way, would it harm you?(7)(25)

Ghazal Twenty-six
The walk, which leads to the godly avenues, is gracious,
And the tongue, in meditation of Celestial Name, is auspicious.(1)
Whatever the way around me I see, it is beyond my perception,
As, always, his own countenance is projecting over my vision.(2)
Through the perfect preceptor, at last, I attained this enlightenment,
That the humankind is always drenched in the anxieties.(3)
Fortunate is that heart-owner, whose conscience is illuminated and is
brimming with the knowledge,
And who, by bowing at the celestial portal, pays his obeisance.(4)
Sacrifice your head (ego), Oh Goya, go and roam around his boulevard
sans a boast,
As he has enlightened me for this, through just one of his winks.(5)(26)

Thousands of adorned thrones are lying on the way to you,
But, no crowns and the diamonds are coveted by your lovers.(1)
Everything in this world is amenable to destruction,
But the lovers decay not, as they discern the attributes of adoration.(2)
The eyes of the entirety are yearning for his glimpse,
And the thousands of hearts are becoming frail, being alienated.(3)
In just one twinkling of the eye, he endows the kingdom of the world,
As, you must bear in mind, his mendicants are graced with the
regency.(4)
Oh, Goya, you seek the audience of the devotees of the Righteous
One,
Because the adherents of the Almighty are always clung with him.(5)(27)

My hands may always be absorbed in the travails,
But, what can I do, my heart stalks towards the beloved.(1)
Though the sound of ‘You can’t see me’ echoes into all the bearings of
his heart,
Musa went ahead to espy the Almighty.(2)
This is not an eye which rolls down tears,
The cup of affection is always full to the brim.(3)
Heart-filcher and the heart are in unison in the body,
And, that is why, the heart always dashes towards the sweetheart.(4)
In both the domains his head remains high with pride,
who, like Mansoor, treads towards the noose?(5)
Goya has attained the real life in the rememberance of the sweet-heart
Why should he now visit the tavern?(6)(28)

Who is there, who is intoxicated in the love of his sweetheart?
The one, who has a benefactor, is the sovereign of the world.(1)
Oh, you, the Mirthful One, I perceive that they will smite both the worlds,
Because, today, your exhilarated eyes are inebriated.(2)
The stole of my eye is imbued red through my heart’s gore,
Which itself has endowed a strange spring-time flavour to my mind.(3)
The one who attains the shadow of the gallows like Mansoor,
He neither desires for the shadow of Tooba the heavenly tree; nor aspires
for the heaven itself.(4)
Oh, you the Candlewick, sparkle your pink-flowery pretence, a while,
Because the sacrificing-moths and the nightingales are coming with some
errand to you.(5)
There may be chains around for all the demented ones,
But Goya just stays still in the halter of your tresses.(6)(29)

Ghazal Thirty-four
Very soothing it is to recite his adoration through the tongue,
As the recitation of his name endows sweetness to the lips.(1)
How charming is your chin, the epitome of an apple,
In the garden, there can be found no fruit so savoury.(2)
Even a glimmer of yours has brightened my eyes,
And how charming is that splendour, I can sacrifice myself for it.(3)
The coils of your tresses have filched my heart;
As a consequence, your pink lips, somehow, are very delectable.(4)
Oh, Goya, the savour endowed by your couplets,
Is surpassed not by any other taste.(5)(34)

Ghazal Thirty-five
The enlightened ones are inclined to go to her abode,
As the lover’s avenue gratifies the adherent.(1)
Her tresses have enchanted the whole world,
And for her enthusiasts, her hair is captivating.(2)
I can sacrifice even the heavenly garden for her,
Because I feel enthralled in her avenue.(3)
I attain life through the auspicious dust of her feet,
As her walking-in is the harbinger of soothing fragrance.(4)
The remembrance of the Almighty is tranquillising,
And it is mellower than all the sweet fruits.(5)
You may become the acqua of benevolence for the whole world,
If such an aspiration fascinates your mind.(6)
Goya’s couplets are so fruitful in India,
That they deem even sweeter than the milk and sugar.(7)(35)

Ghazal Thirty-six
O, you the eye-brows of the spring, with your advent,
The garden of this temporal world has fully blossomed.(1)
Your graceful smile endows exhilarated life,
And it pacifies and appeases the saintly-visions.(2)
Except for the love for the Almighty, no affinity is resolute,
As no adoration is more lasting than the celestial veneration.(3)
To which ever side you turn your vision, you endow existence,
As it is your vision which showers existence all around.(4)
The Almighty, in every condition, is omnipresent,
But where is the eye which can have his glimpse?(5)
Without the Almighty’s perception, the emancipation comes not,
As the world is already in the jaws of Death.(6)
Remember Goya, only a man beseeching God becomes immortal,
Because without adoration, there remains no other emblem.(7)(36)

Ghazal Thirty-seven
In the lap of time, my youth has gained the agedness.
And, in your association, how graciously my life has passed!(1)
Deem the remaining breaths as auspicious,
As it is autumn which ushered in the spring into life.(2)
Propitious are the instances which advance in the remembrance of the
Almighty,
Because, while we are still enumerating, they vanish like the air.(3)
The caravan of the waves is flowing like the rolling stream,
You must suckle some breath-bequeathing water out of this life
expanding river.(4)
You have revelled in many a deed transpiring into no fulfilment,
Goya, now, you render such services as well benefit you hereafter.(5)(37)

Oh, you the perceiver of secrets one, I have reached the limits of your
avenue,
And now I have turned my attention away from all other directions.(1)
Since the time our roaming around your approaches has enhanced,
I have abandoned the aspiration, even, for the most charming
paradise.(2)
With a tress imbued with fragrance, she has captured my heart and the
faith,
And that is what I have earned by dint of this long life.(3)
The Quran of your semblance remains intrinsically inscribed in every
mind,
And for the performers of the prayers, your eye-brows are the prayer-
alcoves.(4)
How can I say, without you, in what condition my heart is?
It is like a candle whose destiny is burning and melting.(5)(38)

And his tongue remains suffused with meditation.(2)
Her black mole, strewing fragrance, has captured the heart of the world,
And the indifdelity in her black tresses is a bait for the faith.(3)
Come show me your countenance, which is scintillating like the sun,
Because, this is the only elixir for the eyes pouring down tears.(4)
I always sacrifice my heart for her exquisite stature,
As my life is just there to be relinquished for the beloved.(5)
Alas, you had asked for the welfare of Goya, just for an instant may be,
As that is the only medicament for his rent heart.(6)(39)

Ghazal Forty
You may become an inebriated, a mystic or a chaste one,
But turn into, an embodiment of worship and an ascetic.(1)
Do not gaze at the strangers, as you are epitome of blindness,
And maintain all your vision to keep it open for your friend.(2)
Go and circumambulate around the majestic and magnanimous captor
of the hearts,
And be captivated in the halter of her aromatic tresses.(3)
I do not lead you to the temple or the mosque,
But I maintain, wherever you go, you must face the Almighty.(4)
Why are you proceeding towards the aliens like the strangers?
You, rather, become a source of consolation for the broken hearts.(5)
Remain contented and be pacified like the heart of Goya,
And remain aloof from temporal needs and gains.(6)(40)

Hearts are kindling and the minds are ablaze,
In predicament, both the domains are yearning for your glimpse.(1)
The dust of your portal, which is a celestial antimony for the pious ones,
Is not comparable by any cure for the tormented visions.(2)
Both, the moon and the sun, revolve around her path,
And it is her beneficence that she equips them to oblige the universe
with brilliance.(3)
Wherever I observe, there prevails the charm of her grace,
And the temporal world remains lured by her curled tresses.(4)

Ghazal Fifty
Listen to the description of the manner of love,
So that you can relish the parleys of attachment.(1)
The one, whom the Almighty has subjugated in love,
In the affairs of devotion, considers himself lucky.(2)
That moment is auspicious which is spent in his meditation,
And only that head is lucky which rolls for the sake of his admiration.(3)
Thousands, ready to sacrifice their lives, are standing in his avenue,
Supporting themselves against the wall of love.(4)
Whosoever disobeys on his way to the Almighty,
Only the noose like Mansoor’s, suits him.(5)
Fortunate is heart, which is endowed with the celestial penchant,
And the overwhelming regard has hunched the back of sky.(6)
If you heed the devoted melody emanating through the sitar*,
You, the kind one, will become immortal.(7)
The sovereigns abandoned the kingdoms,
Just to gain insight into the secrets of love.(8)
Like Goya, whosoever suffered from the malady of love,
Except the meditation of the Almighty, he toiled for no other
ointment.(9)(50)

The Almighty has endowed life to me for the purpose,
That out of this mortal body, comes nothing but his name.(1)
In separation from you, the lovers’ condition is like that of
The flowers of poppy the hearts of which are stained and the chests are
torn apart.(2)
Inert is the time, which is spent without meditation on you,
But, so long as your protection is there, there is no apprehension.(3)
For your sake, the emperors have relinquished their thrones,
Please, unveil yourself, as the whole universe is getting deadbeaten.(4)
Listen, the dust of your portal rejuvenates the world,
And, please, be compassionate to the seeking travellers who come in
distress.(5)
Temporal entity is the one, which is tarnishing both the worlds,
Dara was reduced to the dust, and Karoon was annihilated too.(6)
Without you my eyes always keep on pouring the pearly tears,
O, Goya as the grapes pour out of the bunches.(7)(51)

When the Almighty exists in all the postures,
Why are you indulging in other undertakings?(1)
Oh my life, do nothing but praise the Lord,
And becoming his worshipper, procure his benefaction.(2)
All the time passed without reflecting upon him,
According to the impeccable ones, is just calamitous.(3)
Wherever you see, there is nothing but himself,
Just at the time of union, why do you become oblivious.(4)
Goya, don’t articulate a word except the name of the Almighty,

In the pupils of my eyes I have seen the filcher of my heart
And, now, towards any side I look, I come across my benefactor only.(1)
I have circumambulated both, the Kabah and the Temple,
But I have encountered none other than yourself.(2)
In your search, I turned my vision to all the perimeters,
But in the abode of my heart I found nothing but the dwelling of the
Almighty.(3)
Begging at your portal is more auspicious than the sovereignty,
Because, the supremacy of both the domains, I have seen in the desertion
of personal interest.(4)
Goya, it resounded in my ears since the primal times,
I have envisaged the epilogue of the world right in its prologue.(5)(55)

From our benefactor we desire nothing but himself,
And we ask not for any relief from the ailments of our senses.(1)
We are lovesick of that Nargasi (flowery) companion, whose slave
Nargis, the flower herself is,
And we crave not for Masiha (the Christ) and Khizar (the Prophet).(2)
All around, wherever we looked, we got fascinated by your glamour,
And except the elegance of our patron, we need no other spectacle.(3)
When our companion is with us, we behold none else,
And in the presence of others we never even open our eyes.(4)
We sacrifice our life like a moth on the candle;
But do not wail in vain like a nightingale. (5)
Goya! Remain silent, because the passion for the lover,
We keep in our minds as long as the mind remains alive.(6)(56)

We remain alive eternally by recollecting the Almighty,

In this effigy of dust, his own accomplishment lies,
And through this we realise the provider of all.(3)
I have laid my head at the feet of that Great King,
And have sought redemption from both, the temporal and the celestial

In all the visions, there is nothing but his light,
And that is why I have sought the company of the sublime beings.(5)
Since the time I have attached myself to him,
I have earned the graceful touch of his feet.(6)

And (on his account) we have glittered like the sun.(7)(57)

Whenever we lift our eyelids to have the glimpse of our affectionate

The pearl-dropping eyes pour like a flowing river.(1)
Wherever we glance, we come across our benefactor’s semblance,
As we never care to look at the strangers.(2)
O you, the recounting devotee, hinder me not from beholding the pretty

As I have focused my sight on the visage of my beloved.(3)
Except heeding the narration through your countenance, I have relished
nothing as the food for thought,
And on the way to your abode, I have repeated it again and again.(4)

Why should we, then, long for mysterious wine.(5)(59)
Ghazal Sixty
In my vision, there is none but my self-righteous sovereign,
Because his auspicious stature soothes my eyes.(1)
When he showers nectar through his petal like lips,
It seems he is rejuvenating the deceased ones through his smile.(2)
For a glimpse of yours, my eyes have become a heavenly spring,
Please turn around and come, my afflicted life is ready for sacrifice for
you.(3)
If you peep into my inner most, self, You will find nothing there but
yourself.
As every particle of my body recounts you alone. (4)
Goya, I am just a handful of dust, but my innermost self is brimming
with his edification,
And that is why my conscious mind is always meandering around
him.(5)(60)

If you become faithful, none can there be disloyal,

And, by relinquishing your heart, become a benefactor yourself.(2)
The avenues of the love are unending, and beyond the tread,
Turn your head into your feet and take them to the sanctuary of the
lover.(3)
The people’s utterance is the prerogative of their individual reflections,
You just keep your deliberations secured to know your confidant.(4)
Goya trades his frantic heart in the hope,
That, perhaps you may become a procurer.(5)(61)

And discriminate not between high and low.(8)

If you have an iota of love for the Almighty,
It is better than a thousand sovereignties.
Goya, in reality, is the slave of his true preceptor,
And this annotation needs no testimony.(9)

Every being in the world yearns for enrichment,
And covets horses, camels, elephants and gold.
Whereas all others crave for one thing or the other,
Goya begs of Almighty just his own divine remembrance.(10)

O, My Mind, who is there which is not imbued with godly light
throughout?(62)
As you are a ray of that great splendour, you must become its glitter,
And relinquishing the anxieties, ever remain in exhilaration.(63)
How long will you continue in this ever-lasting confinement?
Renounce the worries, recollect the Almighty and subsist for ever.(64)
What is an affliction? It is the ignorance of the divinity.
And what is happiness? It is the recollection of the Infinite One.(65)
Do you know what is the purport of the Infinite One?
The Infinite One is the one who is immune from transmigration.(66)

Every man and woman is imbued with his adoration,
And, in both the domains, all rumpus is for him.(67)
His domain is either in the eloquence of the valis (the saints)
Or in the hearts of the ones who think of him day and night.(68)
His (devotee’s) vision does not capture the strangers,
His drop does not flow in any direction except towards the godly sea.(69)
The celestial human is the possessor of both the domains,
Because, except the truthful Omnipresence, he does not see any
body.(70)
Both, the heaven and the earth, are destructible,
And except his realization, rest is all ignorance.(71)
Remember him, as far as possible, recall him,
And treasure your abode by retaining his recognition.(72)

Your heart is the domicile of the Almighty.
What can I say, God himself has expounded like this.(73)
Your companion and your yes-man is a sovereign,
But you are following all the virtuous and the lowly-ones for
benevolence.(74)
Sorry for you, your life and your stipulations,
And regretable is your obliviousness and gait.(75)
Whosoever longed for his vision,
In his perception, all depicted his embodiment.(76)
In every painting, the painter radiates,
But a heretic cannot unravel the mystery.(77)
If you covet for the guidance in the love of the Almighty,
Then remember him and just recollect him.(78)

O Brother, do you know what the remembrance of the Almighty is;
And who dwells in all these hearts?(79)
When he abides in all the hearts,
Then every heart is his abode and shelter.(80)
When you have perceived that he resides in all the hearts,
To revere all the hearts should become your ideal.(81)
Remembrance of the Almighty is the only remembrance,
And the one, who bears not this in mind, feels not gratified.(82)
The aim of the celestially knowledgeable is the godly awareness,
And the one imbued with ego, remains detached from the Almighty.(83)
O, Goya, What is your entity? Just a handful of dust,
And that too is beyond your control.(84)

The Almighty has created seventy-two clans,
And among those he gave prominence to the Naji*.(85)
And the clan of Najis, you may regard,
As the shelter for all the seventy-two clans.(86)
Each and every one of them is a pious person,
And he is handsome, kind-hearted and of amiable-natured.(87)
They don’t relish any thing but the remembrance of the Almighty,
And they have no other criteria except the celestial recollection and
prayers.(88)
Their eloquence is laced with sugar and candies,
And through every one of their hair, the nectar flows.(89)
They are devoid of jealousy and enmity, and are above malice,
And they never indulge in bad deeds.(90)

As, except to utter the truth, nothing more to say is their trait.(151)
In the Hindvi language they are called Sadh-sangat, (the holy
congregation).
O, Maulvi, (the Muslim Priest), in fact it is all their description.(152)
Their company is accessible only through the benevolence of the
Almighty,
And due to his compassion, man’s destiny becomes apparent.(153)
Any one who is blessed with such an eternal wealth,
Deem that his life expectation has secured optimism.(154)
All these are destructible except those ones, who are imperishable,
And consider them to be the comrades who provide you with the cups
full of pious love.(155)
Whatever is apparent is due to their company,
And owing to their benevolence, the advancement and the bliss prevails
there.(156)

Their fraternity is the alchemy for you,
So that whatever you desire, becomes proper.(160)
All those you find hale and hearty,

Their lives are due to the benevolence of the congregation,
And their association is the proof of godly generosity.(162)

The key of the divine name is held by the pious ones,
And it acts as the salve for the afflicted hearts and the lives.(168)

Through their generosity I have had the vision of the Almighty,
And through their beneficence, I have picked up the flowers from the

To have a godly glimpse is a holy thought;
I am just a nonentity and every where his mysterious entity prevails.(178)

The divine revelation is an enchanting entity,
And godly entity is the embodiment of the godly beings.(180)

If the eyes get focussed on the godly vision,
Whatever becomes visible, it is celestial glimpse.(241)
Whosoever saw them (the holy-men), deem, he had godly glimpse,
And he had perceived the way to worship.(242)
This affection for the Almighty affects in strange ways,
As, through each element of such fondness, godly splendour is
showered.(243)
He is the master of this illusion as it is his own image,
And through the supplication and obeisance only his worship becomes
meritorious.(244)
He himself is the embodiment of the Almighty,
And his meditation flows through the entire human body.(245)
The masters attain honour through the Master,
Consequently the human being should persist in worship.(246)

The master’s trait should be the admiration of the Master,
As only through the godly achievements, the Spring is savoured.(247)
The Master’s praises are eternal,
And the man’s meditation remains dynamic for ever.(248)
You have turned your back on the Master,
Because under illusion you have renounced him.(249)
The temporal wealth is transient,
And, therefore, may be momentarily, divert your attention to the

O, the benighted one, what alliance prevails between you and him?(252)

They are emancipated from the bondage of life and death.(267)
They cannot survive without the worship; not for a moment even,
And they wave their divine flag all over the nine regions.(268)
They aspire for the welfare of the whole universe,

To get the emancipation from one’s own self, is the real deliverance,
And to submit the mind in the godly love is the real deliverance.(276)

The Almighty is Omnipresent
Guru Nanak, the perfect mentor, is the sustainer of the earth and inhabitant
of all hearts.
He is kind and potent, and redeemer of sinners
My mind and being, at down and dusk,
My head and forehead, in all reverence,(1)
Serve as offering to their perfect preceptor,
Thousands of times in humility;(2)
Because he has produced the gods out of the humans,
And bestowed honours upon these mortals of dust.(3)
All the acclaimed ones are just the dust of his feet,
And all the gods and the goddesses pay tribute to him.(4)
May there be thousands of Suns and Moons glittering,
But without that preceptor, the whole universe remains in darkness.(5)
The pious and ideal preceptor is the embodiment of godly resplendence,
And, consequently, he keeps on predominating my heart.(6)

The being that does not meditate upon him,
May be deemed to have wasted the fruit of his life.(7)
Upon these fields swarming with shoddy fruits,
When he accords satiated vision from a distance,(8)
He feels contented just by looking at them,
And races towards them to pluck the fruits.(9)
But, he gets no fruits from that garden,
And returns all hungry, thirsty and tired.(10)
And, without the preceptor, deem all the play,
As if all the fields were strewn with the thorny bushes.(11)

Sovereign Nanak is his name and he is pervaded with righteousness,
No other holy-man, as distinctive as he, has ever been in the world.(13)
His detachment enhances the pride of the saintliness,
And it becomes every body’s mission to sacrifice life for him.(14)
The seekers of the Almighty and common on-lookers,
All are toiling for the (divine) dust sprinkled by him.(15)

And how can I expound his worthiness?(16)

And so are the millions from the temporal world.(17)

And all the angels from the spiritual universe bow at his feet.(18)

Him through his benevolence,(22)

He repeatedly responded with similar reply,(24)

And he ever prevails both internally and externally.(58)

Outcry prevails for the Almighty and the slander fosters no one.
The hills and forests in all the three domains (of creation) will remember
him.(55)

Listen, Nand Lal, this is the veracity,
Through which (I) reveal my sovereignty.(56)
All the four castes, (I) blend into one caste,
And popularise the worship of Waheguru.(57)
They will mount the horse and fly the falcon,
Seeing them as such, Turks (enemies) will flee.(58)
(I will) make the one combat a hundred and twenty-five thousand.
The Sikh proceeding thus, (I will) get emancipated.(59)
The spears wave and the elephants are decorated,
At every door the victory drums beat.(60)

The Khalsa will rule and the rebels will be eliminated,
All will be obliged to join and only those who surrender will survive.(62)
This is the directive of Guru, that if the son of a Sikh shaves the head,
His posterity will be ruined, and if a shaven one becomes Sikh, his
descendants will flourish.
