♫ Mera Ranjhan Hun Koi Hor — Pathanay Khan

Mera Ranjhan Hun Koi Hor is a Punjabi song/kalam written by Bulleh Shah and sung by Pathanay Khan. Using the player below, you can download or listen to the mp3 online.

Let me state at the outset that this is one of Bulleh Shah’s difficult poems. Let us, nevertheless, try to understand. The literal translation of the title would be: “My lover is now someone else.” But what does Bulleh Shah mean by that? It could be about the transition from mundane to the divine love (which, in my opinion, revolves around the totality of being, others human beings included). If you have an explanation, please do tell us in the comments.

Lyrics

Mera Ranjhan hun koi hor
Mera Ranjhan hun koi hor…

Arsh munawwar bangaN miliyaN
SunniyaN takhat lahore

Mera Ranjhan hun koi hor
Mera Ranjhan hun koi hor…

Ishq de maray aiveñ phirde
Jiveñ jangal dhoor

Mera Ranjhan hun koi hor
Mera Ranjhan hun koi hor…

Ranjhan takhat hazare da sayin
Ithe banya chor

Mera Ranjhan hun koi hor
Mera Ranjhan hun koi hor…

Bulleh Shah assaN marna naahi
Gor paya koi hor

Shahmukhi Lyrics

میرا رانجھن ہُن کوئی ہور
میرا رانجھن ہُن کوئی ہور

عرش منور بانگاں ملیاں
سُنیاں تخت لہور

میرا رانجھن ہُن کوئی ہور
میرا رانجھن ہُن کوئی ہور

عشق دے مارے ایویں پھردے
جیویں جنگل ڈھور

میرا رانجھن ہُن کوئی ہور
میرا رانجھن ہُن کوئی ہور

رانجھن تخت ہزارے دا سائیں
ایتھے بنیا چور

میرا رانجھن ہُن کوئی ہور
میرا رانجھن ہُن کوئی ہور

بلٓھے شاہ اساں مرنا ناہی
گور پیا کوئی ہور

  28. Waqar Hashmi says:

    Baba Bulleh Shah’s passionate, moving and expressive ‘Menda Ranjhan Hun Koi Hor (Now Someone Else is My Beloved)’ was perfected by Pathanay Khan and his rendition of this Kafi is enriching and enthralling as usual. The main theme of the Kafi is transition or departure of soul from ‘worldly love (Ishq-e-Majazi)’ towards and into ‘true love (Ishq-e-Haqiqi).’ Baba Bulleh says:

    Arsh Munawar Bangaun Millian,

    Sunian Takht Lahore…

    (From the gleaming heavens the call for prayer was made and it was heard at the throne of Lahore – Seat of Baba Bulleh Shah’s spiritual teacher/master Inayat Shah.)

    Pathanay portrays the high spiritual alleviation when he says ‘Arsh (heaven)’ with authority and grace and the beauty and magnificence when he says ‘Munawar (brightly lit)’; and he stresses on ‘Bangaun Millian (prayers were called)’ as the prayers are traditionally called in Punjabi style in order to invite people to come to prayers with devotion and commitment. Such attention to details is a clear evidence of Pathanay’s class. It is not possible to tell whether in this verse Baba Bulleh Shah is pointing out at his connection to mysticism through his teacher Inayat Shah or was it some sort of experience he came across earlier during some mystic endeavors.

    if we study sufi poetry. baba bullah shah keeps his unique mode of thinking.hi was very logical in his vision.here is not only discussion between ishq-e-majazi aur haqiqi ishq.it is the deep and vast description of khudi ego (self).isan aur allah k dermiyan muhabot (love).piyar aur insan k dermiyan hai ego. when a person defeat his ego actually he discover the path which leads him to arsh-e-barin.

  35. B.L.Thakur says:
