Nafal namaazaan kamm zanaanaa,
Roze sarfaa rotee hoo.
Makke de val soee jaande,
Gharon jinhaan tarotee hoo.
Uchcheeaan baangaan soee devan,
Neeat jinhaan dee khotee hoo.
Keeh parvaah tinhaan noon,
jinhaan Ghar wich laddhee bauhtee hoo.

Formal prayer and prostration are feeble pursuits.
Fasting has little merit, other than to save food.
Only they go on pilgrimage to Mecca
Who are not wanted at home.
Only they pray loudly, professing their devotion,
Who are deceptive of intent.
But those who have found God’s Name in their hearts
Care not to fast nor prostrate themselves in formal prayer.
