In this challenging Abyat, Hazrat Sultan Bahoo addresses the ego and pride that can often accompany formal religious education. He emphasizes that knowledge should lead to humility and Divine love, rather than being used as a tool for social status or financial profit.
حافظ پڑھ پڑھ کرن تکبر
ملاں کرن وڈیائی ہُو
ساون مانھ دے بدلاں وانگوں
پھرن کتاباں چائی ہُو
Hafiz Parh Parh Karan Takabar
Mulaan Karan Wadyaali Hoo
Sawan Manh Badlaan Wangoon
Phiran Katabaan Chaii Hoo
The Hafiz recites with pride and arrogance
While the Mullah boasts of his greatness
Like the heavy clouds of the monsoon month
They wander around carrying their books
جتھے ویکھن چنگا چوکھا
پڑھن کلام سوائی ہُو
دوہیں جہانیں مٹھے باہو
جنہاں کھادی ویچ کمائی ہُو
Jithey Waikhan Changa Chokha
Parhan Kalam Sawaei Hoo
Doheen Jahaney Mithay Bahoo
Jinhaan Khaadi Waich Kamai Hoo
Wherever they see a lucrative opportunity
They recite the Word with even greater fervor
They are losers in both worlds, O Bahoo
Those who have made a living by selling their faith
