Macce gaya gala mukadi nai says Bulleh Shah

मक्के गयाँ , गल मुकदी नाईं।
पावें सौ सौ जुम्मे पढ आइये।।
गंगा गया, गल मुकदी नाईं।
पावें सौ सौ, गोते खाइये।।
गया गयाँ, गल मुकदी नाईं।
पावें सौ सौ, पंड पढाइये।।
बुल्ले शाह गल ताइयों मुकदी।

जदों मैं नु दिलों गँवाइये।।

going to mecca, your tale did not end
even after offering prayers a hundred-fold!
going to the ganges, your tale did not end
even after ablutions a hundred-fold!
going to gaya, your take did not end
even after offering prayers through a hundred priests!
bulleh shah, your tale is fulfilled
when the 'i' is abandoned by the self!
