Punjabi Poem - ਜਲੰਦਰ (Jalandar - he, who is in the ocean of truth)

Punjabi Poem Jalandar by Deepak Loomba 

Using Roman Script

Eh jo mast jehi duniya bahri,

Khirdi pichon we rahoo saari,
Kalli masti hai ehdi andar,
Parchchaiyan han tuh phadiyan jalandar,
Ban mast qalandar, mast qalandar, mast qalandar, mast.

Sach tera we, sach mera we,
Sach bahar hai, jhooth andar hee,
Toon sach vich khirdiya hain jiven jalandar,
Ban mast qalandar, mast qalandar, mast qalandar, mast.

Oye tun lolla hain,
manon bhola hain,
Tun na kalla see,
Na awalla see,
Tun ghuliyan hain poora jalandar
Ban mast qalandar, mast qalandar, mast qalandar, mast.

Tera utala we tere andar hai
Je bahar hai taan rab nahin
tun allah allah karda phiren
Ehe labhan da koi chaj nahin
Tun Paar na laag, bas dobeya reh jalandar
Ban mast qalandar, mast qalandar, mast qalandar, mast.

Loomba sochda hai, haath tangiya haan
Teri marzi nu samaj ke langeya haan,
Kujh reham tan kar, menoo suljhan de,
Ehna vaangan, khulla uljhan de,
Main patandar haan, par andar haan,
Baas bhora hor, pher qalandar haan.
Hun kherda chchad, hun palon leh.
Menoo dooban de, main jalandar haan
Hoon mast qalandar mast qalandar mast qalandar mast.


Meaning in English

This outer world exists in true, because it survives me. Although you are in this reality, like in water, the way you feel about it (masti), perceive it, is only through its shadow in yourself.

Summarily, the world is real but you can perceive it only, from inside you and hence you control the perception of it.

Your perception is truth so is mine. Everything around us is true, you are in an ocean of truth, lies exist only inside you.

You are in a fallacy if you think you are alone, you are fully dissolved in this truth around you, a part of which you are.

Your heaven/mind/perception (utala) is inside you, if itnis outside you then there can be no God, because anything outside has a location and dimension, while a sarvvayapi (he who is everywhere) can only be inside because inside the imagination there are jo dimensions or locations. So by calling out ajd looking for God around you you are wasting time. The truth is not the destination but in the journey.

I am like a thread tied to the wrist, who has spend his life thinking of absence of his will.
Let me think further, let me jostle with life (like the thread on the wrist jostles with bangles on a woman's arm).
Yes I am a maverick and I do not agree to worldly wisdom, but I atleast know I am inside the ocean of truth and just a little away from being enlightened.
