Parit tah buzit Brahman tshetan;
Agar ghatan tihindi Veda satiy;
Pattanach san nit thavan Mattan;
Mohit man gayshek ahankariy.
~ Lal Ded
Read and heard
only religion,
Brahman,
he was polluted;
Recited Vedas,
Rivers Shrank;
Stole stones from Pattan,
Placed at Mattan;
A beguiled heart,
it only goes khootspah.
Read and heard
only religion,
Muslim,
he was polluted;
Recited Koran,
Rivers Shrank;
Stole stones from Mattan,
built homes at Pattan;
A beguiled heart,
it only goes chutzpah.
