Cease, O cease,
Cease, O cease.
They who know not Truth's embrace,
Find no strength from God's sweet grace.
They who know not Truth's embrace,
Find no strength from God's sweet grace.
Drowned within the heart's own sea,
Drowned, alas, eternally.
What vessel now? What raging tide?
Cease, O friend, the learned pride.
Cease, O cease,
Cease, O cease.
Cease, O friend, the learned pride.
Cease, O friend.
Cease, O cease,
Allah, my Lord, Allah, my Lord.

Reading, they become scholars wise,
Reading, yet their self-knoweldge dies.
Going forth to temples, mosques they roam,
Going forth, yet never find their home.
Cease, O friend, the learned pride.
Cease, O friend.
Cease, O cease,
Cease, O friend, the learned pride.
Cease, O friend.
Cease, O cease,
Allah, my Lord, Allah, my Lord.

Let us go, Bulleh, let us go,
Where all are blind and cannot know.
Where none can see our caste's design,
Where none can see this soul of mine.
Cease, O friend, the learned pride.
Cease, O friend.
Cease, O cease,
Cease, O friend, the learned pride.
Cease, O friend.
Cease, O cease,
Allah, my Lord, Allah, my Lord.
