Bulleh Shah asmaani ud-deya

Parh parh ilm te faazil hoya
Te kaday apne aap nu parhya ee na


You study to become knowledgeable
But you never studied yourself


Bhaj bhaj warna ay mandir maseeti
Te kaday mann apne wich warya ee na


You run to enter your mosques and temples
But you never entered your own heart


Larna ay roz shaitaan de naal
Te kadi nafs apne naal larya ee na


Everyday you fight Satan
But you never fight your own conscience


Bulleh Shah asmaani ud-deya pharonda ay
Te jera ghar betha unoon pharya ee na


Bulleh Shah, you try grabbing that which is in the sky
But you never get ahold of what sits inside your own house
