Bandya Ho Lyrics

Song : Bandya Ho
Movie : Khuda ke liye

Bundeya hoo Bundeya
Bundeya hoo..oo…ooo
Bundeya hoo Bundeya
Bundeya hoo..oo…ooo

{Banda means person…. Bandeya Means ‘Man/Mankind’….}

Bullay Noun Samjhawan Ayaan
Bheynaan Tay Bherjaiyaan
Man Lay Bulleya Sada Kena
Chad Day Pala Rayaan

{Bulleh’s sisters and bhabhiaan (sister in laws) came to convince him. Bulleh, Please do as we tell you and leave araain’s (a caste) company}

Aal Nabi Ullad Nabi Noun
Tu Kyoun Leekaan Layaan
“Jeyra Saanoun Syed Saday
Dozukh Milan Sazaiyaan”

{Why do you want to insult Prophet’s and Ali’s decendant (by having lower caste in your company)? The one who address us as syed will go to hell. But the one who addresses us as Araain will enjoy comforts of heaven}

Bundeya hoo Bundeya
Bundeya hoo..oo…ooo
Bundeya hoo Bundeya
Bundeya hoo..oo…ooo

Face the world with a smile
No one knows what hid inside
They see only happiness
they cant see the tears i have cried

Raain, Saain, Sabhan Thaain
Rab Deyaan Bay Parwaaiyaan
Sohniyaan Paray Hatayaan Tay
Khoojiyaan Lay Gall Laiyaan

{Arain and masters are born at every place, God doesn’t discriminate against anyone. Beautiful people (at heart) doesn’t care for such differences, only ugly ones do}

Jay To Loorain Baagh Baharaan
Chaakar Hoo Ja Raiyaan
Bulley Shah Dee Zaat Kee Puchni
Shakar Ho Razayaan

{If you need gardens of heaven, be servant to araains. Why do you ask caste of Bulleh Shah? Instead be grateful to God.}

Bundeya hoo Bundeya
Bundeya hoo..oo…ooo
Bundeya hoo Bundeya
Bundeya hoo..oo…ooo

(English verse missing)

Bundeya hoo Bundeya
Bundeya hoo..oo…ooo
Bundeya hoo Bundeya
Bundeya hoo..oo…ooo..!!!

(Edit 12/2011: Thank you all for liking it. Some people have showed concerns regarding Araain (caste) and that song isn’t portraying them correctly. Well, I don’t know much about the castes mentioned in the song, I have just posted the meaning. In case you want, you can write to the creators of the movie – http://www.inthenameofgod.com/feedback.asp.)

      Bulleh Shah (1680 – 1757) (Punjabi: بلہے شاہ, ਬੁੱਲ੍ਹੇ ਸ਼ਾਹ, Hindi: बुल्ले शाह), whose real name was Abdullah Shah,[1] was a Punjabi Sufi poet, a humanist and philosopher.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulle_Shah

      so bulle here refers to him…..

      No, the word is indeed “Bulleh” as in “Bulleh Shah.” This is infact a poem written by Bulleh Shah.

    • * hafsa ilyas says:

      nopez da first word is not bhulle,,,,,,,itz bullay,,,,,,actually da poet bulleh shah iz talkin about himself by dat her sisterz & sisterz in lawz came 2 cnvince him,,,,,,so da word “bullay” referz 2 him,,,,,,

      araain iz a cazt,,,,,,,,,& bulleh shah waz sayyad (another cazt) so hiz family iz convincin him dat he iz a sayyad & he shudnt work under da supervizion of a lower cazt (araain),,,,,,bt bulleh shah iz against diz racism,,,,,

    Bullay Shah was a Syed(from the family of the prophet s.a.w.) but his teacher Inayat Shah Qadiri was not (was from the Arain caste). Members of his family disapproved of him associating and learning Islam from this scholarly man.

    Bullay Shah thus admonished them for their unjust prejudice.

    Thats my understanding, anyways.

    Allah s.w.t knows best.

    I like this song very much, but didn’t know the meaning of this song. No day passes without me having sung this song. Thanks for sharing it’ meaning. Now I can sing this song with more life & confidence. I am a sindhibut have a natural liking for sufi songs. God is one. He & his messengers took birth on earth in different times at different places. I hope he today when the whole world is divided on Whose God is God?, the God should take another avtaar or send someone to tell that he is only One no matter by what name u call him or how u worship him. Sai Baba took avtaar to spread the message: “Sabka Malik ek” was to unite Hindus & Muslims., but his influence was confined primarily to Shirdi. But the message is spreading throughtout the country yet there are very few who understand his message & keep that in their mind at all times.
    God is as much in an idol as he is everywhere. Ali dum dum de andar. He is everywhere. Even Guru Nanak ji had one hindu & one Muslim disciple. He turned the Masjid to prove Allah is everywhere. He could make out what qazi was thinking while offering Namaaz. Later sikh gurus were also like him, in the sense that they didn’t differntiate between muslims & hindus. But the cruel extemist kings like aurangzeb & behadur shah zafar-I, who blindly went on converting numerous hindus into sikhs, forced God to send someone to protect muzloomz (Hindus) from the tortures of mughal emperors & conversion. It was Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji who gave the sikh army a name Khalsa & made certain usools. They had to keep kirpans only to protect muzlooms & not to convert muslims to sikh or hindus. Please understand none of the 10 Sikh gurus was against Islam. They all respected both Islam & Gita. But they were against forceful religious conversions & tortures that hindus & sikhs were given. I believe many of muslims around me & even in Pak may be having hindu ancestors then why r don’t they understand that before being a hindu or muslim, ham sab insaan hain. an orphan child doesn’t know what his caste or religion is. If he is grown up by a terrorist, his mindset may also be the same as that of this adopter, but if grown up by a saint he may grow up into a saint/philosopher or a person who is very good at heart.
