Lyrics

Haaji lok makkay noon jaandey
Mera ranjha mahi makkah
Nein main kamli aan
Nein main kamli aan

Parh parh ilm hazaar kitaabaN
kadi apne aap nu parhya nahin
Jaa jaa wardey mandar maseeti
kadi mann apne wich warzya nahin
Anven larda shaitaan de naal bandeya
kadi nafs apne naal larya nahin
Aakhe peer Bulleh Shah aasmani pharna aeN
jehra man wich wasda unhoN pharya nahin

 

English translation

Pilgrims go to Mecca
My beloved Ranjha is my Mecca
O! I am crazy

Yes, you have read a thousand books
But you have never read your own self
You rush to go to temples and mosques
But you never tried to enter your own heart
All your battles with Satan are lost
For you have never tried to fight your own nafs (desires)
Bulleh Shah says you try to reach for the one in the sky
But you’ve never bothered to reach for the One who lives in your own heart (Allah)
