Be te parh ke faazil hoye, Alif na Parheya kisse hoo
Jain parhhiaa tis shauh na labbha, Jaan parhhiaa kujh tisse hoo
Chaudaan tabaq karan rushnaii, Annhian kujh na disse hoo
Baajh wisaal Allaah de Baahoo, Sabh kahaani qisse hoo

They learned ‘everything’ and became great scholars, But few learned the lesson of Alif*

Those who learned ‘everything’ never found the One. Those who learned the lesson of Oneness Found the essence of ‘everything’

All fourteen realms are lit up with God’s radiance, But the blind perceive nothing.

If union is not attained with the Lord, O Bahu, All learning is mere theory – A mere fable that disappears into smoke.

* Alif is the first letter of the Arabic, Persian and Urdu alphabets. It is written as a vertical straight line like the numeral ‘one’. Hazrat Bahu uses this similarity to identify alif with the ‘oneness’ of God. He also uses alif as an abbreviation of Ahad, the One.
