Makkeh Gaya

 Poems of Bulleh Shah The Great Sufi Poet

Makkeh Gaya

Makkay gayaan, gal mukdee naheen

Pawain sow sow jummay parrh aaeey

Going to Makkah is not the ultimate

Even if hundreds of prayers are offered

Ganga gayaan, gal mukdee naheen

Pawain sow sow gotay khaeeay

Going to River Ganges is not the ultimate

Even if hundreds of cleansing (Baptisms) are done

Gaya gayaan gal mukdee naheen

Pawain sow sow pand parrhaeeay

Going to Gaya is not the ultimate

Even if hundreds of worships are done

Bulleh Shah gal taeeyon mukdee

Jadon May nu dillon gawaeeay

Bulleh Shah the ultimate is

When the “I” is removed from the heart!
