The Hajis go to Mecca
My Beloved Ranjha is Mecca
O Friend I am crazy

I have become a fiancee of Ranjha
My father forces me to marry with someone else
O Friend I am crazy

The Hajis go to Mecca
My Beloved Ranjha is Mecca
O Friend I am crazy

In my heart live all the Hajis and ghajjies(Ghazi)
Also lives the thief (nafas) in the Heart

The Hajis go to Mecca
My Beloved Ranjha is Mecca
O Friend I am crazy

On which direction is the Beloved
Kaaba is also in the same direction
Even you explore all four books
O Friend I am crazy
