People said: “O Bullah! Go and sit in the mosque.” What avails it going to the mosque, says Bullha, if the heart had not said the prayer?

I know not who am I. I am neither Muslim, bird of mosque, nor infidelity is my task. Neither am I righteous, nor sinful, nor am I Moses, nor Pharaon. Nor am I filthy, pious, saint. I live neither in pleasure nor in anguish. I am neither aquatic nor of earth, nor of fire, nor airy creature.

Your love made me dance recklessly. Your love dwells in the temple of my heart. I drank cup of poison full to the brime. Rush to my rescue O my Saviour, test I should die. O mother!

You attained exoteric knowledge and became Shaikh and Mashaikh. You filled your belly with food full to the brim and slept long sleep. When time of departure arrived, you wept bitterly. You drowned in the sea, being not on the either shore i,e., total helpless.

In whose heart He got abode, he proclaimed: “I am the Truth, I am the Truth.” Such person does not want ‘sing and song’; he, rather dances in ecstasy. O Bullah! I found the Real One, the falsehood vanished. I declared truth to the seekers of Truth, since the time, I witnessed the Divine Light.

You eat up the simple folk by fraud and making false promises to them. By gaining bookish knowledge, you have become mullah, jurist. God is happy without such knowledge. Your greed is intensified each day and it had made you wretched.

By iterating Ranjha, Ranjha, I have become Ranjha myself. Call me now as Dhido Ranjha, not by the name of Heer. Ranjha dwells in my inmost being and I in Him and none else reside there.

Now you put aside your white mantle, put on beggar’s blanket. White mantle is stained easily, but blackened seldom accepts stain.
