Parh parh ilm te faazil hoya
Te kaday apnay aap nu parhya ee na
Bhaj bhaj warna ay mandir maseeti
Te kaday mann apnay wich warya ee na
Larna ay roz shaitaan de naal
Te kadi nafs apnay naal larya ee na
Bulleh Shah asmaani ud-deya pharonda ay
Te jera ghar betha unoon pharya ee na
~ Bulle Shah
You read to become all knowledgeable
But you never read yourself
You run to enter temples and mosques
But you never entered your own heart
Every day you fight Satan
But you never fight your own Ego
Bulleh Shah you try grabbing that which is in the sky
But you never get hold of What sits inside you
