After reading these lines I think what matters more than language is the spirit of the verse and here you have made your mark on the readers' mind (even those who don't know Punjabi) by rendering it's spirit. The lines bear undeniable truth: 'Those who valued not friends; o’bhulley! Seen them wring empty hands to stay'........kudos! Baba'a spirit would rejoice it.

The exact translation of these mystic gem-words of Bullhay Shah...you have lent a touch of your own skills to these original verses...like in this simile.... Dud coins seen work as sterling batch which i read for the first time here, and i think the lines you have missed adding here for which you have written this: Only with HIS blessings unlock On water seen some people walk...Kindly add them if you can...a fine read, indeed!

Beautiful rendering of the original poem. Through your poem I seem to follow Punjabi which I don't know. Thank you.
