جاں میں سبق عشق دا پڑھیا
مسجد کولوں جیؤڑا ڈریا
بھج بھج ٹھاکر دوارے وڑیا
جتھے وجدے ناد ہزار
In my heart, I learned the lesson of love, / From the mosque to the river, the path is vast. / From the temple to the court, the struggle is great, / Where a thousand sounds resonate.
In my heart, I learned the lesson of love; / From the mosque to the river, the path is vast. / From the temple to the court, the struggle is great; / Where a thousand sounds resonate.

وید، قرآن پڑھ پڑھ تھکے
Having recited the Vedas and the Quran until exhaustion,
Having recited the Vedas and the Quran until exhaustion, and rubbed prostrations onto the forehead. Neither is he the Lord of Tayrath, nor the Lord of Mecca, who possesses the radiance of light and the sky.

پھوک مصلّٰی، بھن سٹ لوٹا
نہ پھڑ تسبیح، عصا، سوٹا
عاشق کہندے دے دے ہوکا
ترک حلالوں، کھا مُردار
Oh, the recitation of prayers, the counting of beads,
Do not read the beads, oh seeker, while you sleep.
The lover says, 'Let the argument happen, let the flesh be consumed,'

ہیر رانجھے دے ہو گئے میلے
بھولی ہیر ڈھونڈدی بیلے
رانجھن یار بغل وچ کھیلے
سرت نہ رہیا، سرت سنبھال
When Heer Ranjha met each other,
When the innocent Heer searched for him,
Ranjha played in her lap,
She could neither stay nor manage her emotions.
When Heer and Ranjha met each other, when the innocent Heer searched for him, Ranjha played in her lap. She could neither stay nor manage her emotions.
