Neither is God above the highest heaven
nor is God in the Ka’ba - He!
neither was God found in bookish knowledge
nor is God in the mosque’s niche - He!

the source was not found
(despite) going measureless distances - He!

over were all the torments - He!

ना ढूंढ मुझे ज़मीं-ओ-आसमां की गर्दिशों में
मैं अगर तेरे दिल में नहीं तो कहीं भी नहीं ..

dovein marne tak main-main karno nahi hatde..

Koi aakhda rabb da roop ehnu,
koi rab da ehnu vajeer aakhe,
rabb v ohnu nai mod sakda,
gal mauj vich jehdi fakeer aakhe..

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.
