I Know Not Who I am

Bulla! I know not who I am
Bulla! I know not who I am

Nor am I the believer in the mosque
Nor am I in Idol worship
Nor am I in the pure or the impure

Nor am I in the Vedas
Nor am I in intoxicants
Nor am I the carefree deviant

Nor am I union nor grief
Nor am I in the pure or the impure
Nor am I of the water nor of the land

Nor am I fire nor air
Bulla! I know not who I am

Nor am I Arabic nor from Lahore (city in Punjab)
Nor am I the Indian city of Nagpur
Nor a Hindu nor a Peshawari Turk

Nor did I create the difference of faith
Nor did I create Adam or Eve
Nor did I name myself

Beginning or end, I know just the self
Do not recognize "the other one"
There is none wiser than I

Who is this Bulla Shah?
Bulla! I know not who I am

Written by Bulla Shah, an 18th Century Sufi Saint
