naad

parh parh aalim faazil hoyon tay naam rakhaya Qazi
seh wari Hujj Makkay da keeta naam rakhaya Haji
phharh talwaar dilawar ban-yon tay naaam rakhaya Ghazi
je ve Bhulliya kuch na khhatti-ya jay peer na keeta razi

they read all the sacred texts and call themselves Qazis

they make a hundred pilgrimages to Mecca and add the suffix Haji to their name

they wield their swords bravely, and call themselves Ghazi's

but Bulleh Shah says, you've done nothing, if you haven't pleased your Pir/Guru/Sensei/Master
