“Sun Faryad Peeran deya Peera” is a deeply soul-stirring plea by Hazrat Sultan Bahoo. Addressing the “Master of Masters” (Ghaus-e-Azam), Bahoo uses powerful metaphors of a boat stuck in treacherous whirlpools to symbolize the soul’s struggle in the material world, ultimately seeking the spiritual intervention and guidance of the great saint.
سن فریاد پیراں دیا پیرا
میری عرض سنیں کن دھر کے ہُو
بیڑا اڑیا میرا وچ کپراں دے
جتھے مچھ نہ بہندے ڈر کے ہُو
Sun Faryaad Piraan Daya Pira
Meri Araz Suni Kan Dhar Ke Hoo
BaiRa ArYaa Mera Wich KapRaan Dai
Jithey Mach Na BahanDey Dar Ke Hoo
Listen to my plea, O Master of Masters
Hear my humble petition with your kind attention
My boat is stuck in the middle of terrifying whirlpools
Where even the strongest sea creatures dare not stay out of fear
شاہ جیلانی محبوب سبحانی
میری خبر لیو جھٹ کر کے ہُو
پیر جنہاندے میراں باہو
اوہ کدھی لگدے تر کے ہُو
Shah Jeelani Mahboob e Subhani
Meri Khabar Laiyo Jhat Kar Ke Hoo
Pir JinahanDay Meeran Bahoo
Ooh Kadhi LagDai Tar Ke Hoo
O Shah Jeelani, the beloved of the Divine
Come to my rescue and take heed of my state immediately
Those whose Master is Miran (Ghaus-e-Azam), O Bahoo
They reach the shores safely by swimming through the waves
