In vain, will we scour

through a thousand books

if we fail to unlock a window

into our inner beings.

No more than those we will be

who go to temples

and mosques every day

but never discover the secret

of higher living

treasured in their hearts.

In vain, will be our fight

with the devil without

if we fail to fight

the devil within.

An interpretation of a poem by great Sufi poet Baba Bulleh Shah who composed the verses in Punjabi.
