SUFIS AND SUFISM IN SIMPLE LYRICS-औखा यार नूं एह राज़ी करना




It was a WhatsApp video, widely circulated in July 2018, whose lines are reproduced below. I thought of its conversion into YouTube for wider and clear access. Below is the link of YouTube—that I posted.
The writer of these lyrics and the singer who is reciting them are unknown, but appears from Pakistan. I could be wrong as well.
The content of this Kalam is immensely mesmerizing from the mystic and Sufi perspective. In eight lines it details the process of Divinity through self-annihilation or self- negation pursued by Baba Bulle Shah, Mansur al-Hallaj, Sarmad Shaheed. Traditional tales of Sassi –Pannu and Heer- Ranjha alluding to Ishq-Haqeeqi are also captured in two verses.
 The concluding line is a description of eternal yearning of the Murid for the Murshid or perpetual seeking of a disciple for the Love of His Master.                
1         औखा यार नूं एह राज़ी करना, घर बार लुटाना पेंदा //
2         कदी पैरआं विच एह बन के घुंघरू, ते सोहना यार मनाना पेंदा //  refers to Bulle Shah
3         उल्टी खल लहावनी पेंदी, तन सूली चड़ाना पेंदा// refers to Mansur
4         फिर एक वारी सोहना मिलदा, पहले एह सीस कटाना पेंदा// refers to Sarmad
5         सौ ससीअं एह कुर्बान तेरे तूं ,सौ गान पुनल तेरे भरदे// refers to Sassi Punnu
6         सौ रांझे छड तख़्त हजारे, तेरे नाम दा पानी भरदे// refers to Heer Ranjha
7         जे माही कबर मेरी ते, एक वारी पांवे फेरा // refers to Hafiz.
8         हड्डियाँ कब्रों बहार आ के, एह मुजरा करसन तेरा //
