Parh parh ilm te faazil hoya
Te kaday apnay aap nu parhya ee na
You read so many books to know it all, yet fail to ever read your self
Bhaj bhaj warna ay mandir maseeti
Te kaday mann apnay wich warya ee na
You run to enter temples and mosques ,but never dared to enter your own heart
Larna ay roz shaitaan de naal
Te kadi nafs apnay naal larya ee na
Everyday you have to fight Satan, But you never fight your own Ego
Bulleh Shah asmaani ud-deya pharonda ay
Te jera ghar betha unoon pharya ee na
You try grabbing that which is in the sky, But you never get hold of what sits inside you
Ilm-oun bas kareen o yaar
Ik Alif teray darkaar
Stop seeking all this knowledge my friend, Only an Alif (God is One) is what you need
