पढ़ पढ़ इल्म हज़ार किताबां

पढ़ पढ़ इल्म हज़ार किताबां, कदे अपने आप नूं पढ़या नईं
जा जा वढ़दैँ मंदिर मसीती, कदे मन अपने आप विच वढ़या नईं
ऐवेँ लड़दा ऐं शैतान दे नाल बन्देया, कदी नफ़्स अपनी नाल लड़या नईं
आखे पीर बुल्ले शाह आसमानी फढ़ना ऐं, जेड़ा मन विच वसदा ए ओनूं फढ़या नईं

You have read thousands of books but have never studied your self
You go into temples and mosques but you have never entered your own Self
Futilely you fight with the so-called Devil, but never confront your own being
Bullay Shah (the poet) says you are out chasing the celestial, but have failed to hold (capture) the one who lives right here inside you
