مکے گیاں گل مکدی نہیں
بھانویں سو سو جمعے پڑھ آئیے
Going to Makkah is not the ultimate
Even if hundreds of prayers are offered

گنگا گیاں گل مکدی نہیں
بھانویں سو سو غوطے کھائیے
The knowledge of the Ganga is not something that can be easily discarded; it is something that is constantly being nurtured.

گیا گیاں گل مکدی نہیں
بھانویں سو سو پنڈ پڑھائیے
The wandering style, the sweet voice, is not present,
The fragrance of the wind, the lovely dust, is scattered.
The wandering style and sweet voice are absent; the fragrance of the wind and the lovely dust are scattered.

بلھے شاہ گل تائیوں مکدی
جدوں میں نوں دلوں گوائیے
Bulleh Shah, when you showed your true nature, / When you gave the secret to May (Divine Love).
Bulleh Shah, when you revealed your true nature, / When you gave the secret to May (Divine Love).
