One of my favorite songs. By 17th Century mystic and poet Baba Bulleh Shah. The version that's remixed is sung by Bibi Swaran Nooran, Master Dilbahar Sohan Lal. Nooran might be the grandma of the Nooran Sisters. [Source](https://deewanis.blogspot.com/2012/02/samples.html). [This guy](https://www.instagram.com/sounds_of_solace/) made a mix that's [popular with belly dancers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMzLR0kBN20) and anime fans 🤷‍♂️ There's also [this sampling CD](https://archive.org/details/zero-g-deepest-india) (?) which has other cool stuff as well.

_O Bolo Poora Tolo Poora Sat Sirre Tere Lage_
Practice what you preach, weigh the truth, beware that it does not come back to haunt you

_O Na Kar Maan Rupaiye Waala Ban Ban Ke Na Bage_
Don't be proud of your wealth, you'll never tire of accumulating it

_Khara Khota Tu Parakheya Jaave Pave Sharif De Aage_
You keep inspecting to see what is real and what is fake

_Diva Bal Ke Mita Le Hanera Ni_
Light a candle and extinguish the darkness

_Kulli Vichon Ni Yaar Lab Le_
Find your beloved in his dwelling

_Bulleh Shah Tu Kaudi Ho Ja Vatta Mul Na Lage_
Bulleh Shah become so worthless you cannot be appraised

_Kulli  Vichon Ni Yaar Lab Le_
Find your beloved in his dwelling

The penultimate line reminded me of this:
