Shalok · Baba Farid

Farida, Jo Tain Maran Mukkian

فریدا جو تیں مارن مُکیاں

Two of Baba Farid’s best-loved shaloks on answering harm with humility and evil with goodness.

  1. 1

    فریدا جو تیں مارن مُکیاں، تنہاں نہ ماریں گھُم

    Farida jo tain maran mukkian, tinhan na maarin ghumm

    Farid, those who strike you with their fists — do not turn and strike them back.

  2. 2

    آپنڑے گھر جائیے، پیر تنہاں دے چُم

    Aapnrai ghar jaaiye, pair tinhan de chumm

    Go to your own home, and kiss their feet.

  3. 3

    فریدا بُرے دا بھلا کر، غصہ من نہ ہنڈھا

    Farida bure da bhala kar, ghussa man na handha

    Farid, do good to the one who does you harm; do not let anger fill your heart.

  4. 4

    دیہی روگ نہ لگئی، پلّے سبھ کِچھ پا

    Dehi rog na lagai, palle sabh kichh paa

    Your body will suffer no sickness, and everything will be yours.
