Study ing Baba Bulleh Shah's books over
and over you want to be a learned man
but you never study your innerself

you run to enter mosques and temples
but you never enter into your innerself

you fight Satan in vain daily
but fighting your ego you care not

Baba Bulleh Shah says this -
you run after what you've lost
but push aside what you've got

Bulleh Shah is believed to have been born in 1680, in the small village of Uch, Bahawalpur, Punjab, now in Pakistan [3]. His ancestors had migrated from Bukhara in modern Uzbekistan.
At the age of six months, his parents relocated to Malakwal. There his father, Shah Muhammad Darwaish, was a preacher in the village mosque and a teacher. His father later got a job in Pandoke, about 50 miles southeast of Kasur. Bulleh Shah received his early schooling in Pandoke, and moved to Kasur for higher education, to become a student of the prominent professor, Ghulam Murtaza. He also received education from Maulana Mohiyuddin. His spiritual teacher was the eminent Sufi saint, Shah Inayat Qadiri.
Little is known about Bulleh Shah's direct ancestors, except that they were migrants from Uzbekistan.[4] However, Bulleh Shah's family was directly descended from the Prophet Muhammad.[1]
Career



Tomb of Baba Bulleh Shah, Kasuri
A large amount of what is known about Bulleh Shah comes through legends, and is subjective; to the point that there isn’t even agreement among historians concerning his precise date and place of birth. Some "facts" about his life have been pieced together from his own writings. Other "facts" seem to have been passed down through oral traditions.
Bulleh Shah practiced the Sufi tradition of Punjabi poetry established by poets like Shah Hussain (1538 – 1599), Sultan Bahu (1629 – 1691), and Shah Sharaf (1640 – 1724).
Bulleh Shah lived in the same period as the famous Sindhi Sufi poet , Shah Abdul Latif Bhatai (1689 – 1752). His lifespan also overlapped with the legendary Punjabi poet Waris Shah (1722 – 1798), of Heer Ranjha fame, and the famous Sindhi Sufi poet Abdul Wahad (1739 – 1829), better known by his pen-name, Sachal Sarmast (“truth seeking leader of the intoxicated ones”). Amongst Urdu poets, Bulleh Shah lived 400 miles away from Mir Taqi Mir (1723 – 1810) of Agra. Poetry Style
The verse form Bulleh Shah primarily employed is called the Kafi, a style of Punjabi, Sindhi and Siraiki poetry used not only by the Sufis of Sindh and Punjab, but also by Sikh gurus.
Bulleh Shah’s poetry and philosophy strongly criticizes Islamic religious orthodoxy of his day.
[edit]A Beacon of Peace
Bulleh Shah's time was marked with communal strife between Muslims and Sikhs. But in that age Baba Bulleh Shah was a beacon of hope and peace for the citizens of Punjab. While Bulleh Shah was in Pandoke, Muslims killed a young Sikh man who was riding through their village in retaliation for murder of some Muslims by Sikhs. Baba Bulleh Shah denounced the murder of an innocent Sikh and was censured by the mullas and muftis of Pandoke. Bulleh Shah maintained that violence was not the answer to violence.
Bulleh Shah also hailed the Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur as a ghazi (Islamic term for a religious warrior).
[edit]Humanist
Bulleh Shah’s writings represent him as a humanist, someone providing solutions to the sociological problems of the world around him as he lives through it, describing the turbulence his motherland of Punjab is passing through, while concurrently searching for God. His poetry highlights his mystical spiritual voyage through the four stages of Sufism: Shariat (Path), Tariqat (Observance), Haqiqat (Truth) and Marfat (Union). The simplicity with which Bulleh Shah has been able to address the complex fundamental issues of life and humanity is a large part of his appeal. Thus, many people have put his kafis to music, from humble street-singers to renowned Sufi singers like the Waddali Brothers and Abida Parveen, from the synthesized techno qawwali remixes of UK-based Asian artists to the rock band Junoon.
Bulleh Shah’s popularity stretches uniformly across Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims, to the point that much of the written material about this philosopher is from Hindu and Sikh authors.
[edit]Modern Renditions
In the 1990s Junoon, Asia's biggest rock band from Pakistan, rendered such poems as Aleph (Ilmon Bas Kareen O Yaar) and Bullah Ki Jaana. In 2004, Rabbi Shergill successfully performed the unlikely feat of turning the abstruse metaphysical poem Bullah Ki Jaana into a Rock/Fusion song, which became hugely popular in India and Pakistan. The Wadali Bandhu, a Punjabi Sufi group from India, also released a version of Bullah Ki Jaana on their album Aa Mil Yaar...Call of the Beloved. Another version was performed by Lakhwinder Wadali titled simply Bullah. Bulleh Shah's verses have also been adapted and used in Bollywood film songs. Examples include the songs "Chaiyya Chaiyya" and Thayya Thayya in the 1998 film Dil Se. The 2007 Pakistani movie Khuda Kay Liye includes Bulleh Shah's poetry in the song Bandeya Ho. A 2008 film, 'A wednesday', had a song, "Bulle Shah, O yaar mere" in its soundtrack. In 2009, Episode One of Pakistan's Coke Studio Season 2 featured a collaboration between Sain Zahoor and Noori, "Aik Alif".

Bulla Ki Jaana Maen Kaun

Says Bulla, who knows who I am!

I am not in the mosque of the believer,
Nor in false rites.
I am not in the pure or the impure.
Neither Moses nor Pharaoh.
Says Bulla, who knows who I am!

I am not in the vedas or holy books,
Not in drug or wine.
Not in the drunkards wasted intoxication,
Not in wakefulness or sleep.
Says Bulla, who knows who I am!

I am not in sorrow nor in joy,
Neither in clean nor unclean.
I am not water, I am not earth,
I am not fire, I am not air.
Says Bulla, who knows who I am!

I am not from Arabia or Lahore,
Nor from India or Nagaur.
Neither a hindu or muslim from Peshawar,
Nor do I live in Nadaun.
Says Bulla, who knows who I am!

I cannot be unearthed in the mysteries of religion.
I was not born of Adam and Eve.
I am not the name I assume.
I am not in stillness, not in movement.

Finally, I only know myself.
I cannot know any other.
Who could be wiser than I?
Bulla asks, who then, stands here?
Says Bulla, who knows who I am!

Saint Kabir Das Ji

Kabir Das

Amongst the several saints that have blessed our country, Kabir Das, the well known mystic poet, deserves a major credit for bringing about a revolution. he lives in between 1440 - 1518. He was known to be a weaver and later became famed for scorning religious affiliation, seen as a threat to both Muslim and Hindu elite.

His monist philosophies and ideas of loving devotion to God are expressed in metaphor and language from both the Hindu Vedanta and Bhakti streams and Muslim Sufi ideals. Kabir is also considered to be the father of the Sant Mat tradition. His Guru was Ramananda.

His greatest work is the Bijak, or Seedling, an idea of the fundamental one. This collection of poems demonstrates Kabir's own universal view of spirituality. His vocabulary is constantly full of ideas regarding Brahman and Hindu ideas of karma and reincarnation, and yet he also espouses ideas that are clearly Sufi as well as Hindu Bhakti understandings of God. His Hindi was a very vernacular, straightforward kind, much like his philosophies. He often advocated leaving aside the Qur'an and Vedas and to simply follow the Simple/Natural Way to oneness in God.

He believed in the Vedantic concepts of atman and yet spurned the orthodox Hindu societal caste system and worship of statues, thus showing clear belief in both bhakti and sufi ideas. The major part of Kabir's work as a Sikh Bhagat was collected by the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak, and is published in the holy Sikh book "Guru Granth Sahib".

While many ideas reign as to who his living influences were, the only Guru of whom he ever spoke was Ramananda, a Vaishnav saint whom Kabir claimed to have taken initiation from in the form of the "Rama" mantra.

His poems resonate with praise for the true guru who reveals the divine through direct experience, and denounced more usual ways of attempting god-union such as chanting, austerities etc. His verses, which being illiterate he never expressed in writing, often began with some strongly worded insult to get the attention of passers-by. Kabir has enjoyed a revival of popularity over the past half century as arguably the most acceptable and understandable of the medieval Indian 'sants', with an especial influence over modern spiritual traditions such as that of Rhadasoami. Prem Rawat ('Maharaji') also refers frequently to Kabir's songs and poems as the embodiment of deep wisdom.

It is a fruitless endeavor, indeed one that Kabir himself disliked, to classify him as Hindu or Muslim, Sufi or Bhakta. The legends surrounding his lifetime attest to his strong aversion to communalism.

In fact, Kabir always insisted on the concept of Koi bole Ram Ram Koi Khudai..., which means that someone may chant the Hindu name of God and someone may chant the Muslim name of God, but God is the one who made the whole world.

His birth and death are surrounded by legends. He grew up in a Muslim weaver family, but some say he was really son of a Brahmin widow who was adopted by a childless couple. When he died, his Hindu and Muslim followers started fighting about the last rites. The legend is that when they lifted the cloth covering his body, they found flowers instead. The Muslim followers buried their half and the Hindu cremated their half. In Maghar, his tomb and samadhi still stand side by side. Another legend surrounding Kabir is that shortly before death he bathed in both Ganga and Karmnasha to wash away both his good deeds and his sins.

Mir Bulleh Shah Qadiri Shatari, often referred to simply as Bulleh Shah (a shortened form of Abdullah Shah) lived in what is today Pakistan. His family was very religious and had a long tradition of association with Sufis. Bulleh Shah's father was especially known for his learning and devotion to God, raising both Bulleh Shah and his sister in a life of prayer and meditation. Bulleh Shah himself became a respected scholar, but he longed for true inner realization. Against the objections of his peers, he became a disciple of Inayat Shah, a famous master of the Qadiri Sufi lineage, who ultimately guided his student to deep mystical awakening. The nature of Bulleh Shah's realization led to such a profound egolessness and non-concern for social convention that it has been the source of many popular comical stories -- calling to mind stories of St. Francis or Ramakrishna. For example, one day Bulleh Shah saw a young woman eagerly waiting for her husband to return home. Seeing how, in her anticipation, she braided her hair, Bulleh Shah deeply identified with the devoted way she prepared herself for her beloved. So Bulleh Shah dressed himself as a woman and braided his own hair, before rushing to see his teacher, Inayat Shah. Bulleh Shah is considered to be one of the greatest mystic poets of the Punjab region. His tomb in the Qasur region of Pakistan is greatly revered today.

Farida Khaak Na Nindiye…

                

Farida Khaak Na Nindiye Khaakoo Jed Na Koye
Jeevandyan PAiraan Thale Moyaan Upar Hoye

Fareed, do not slander the dust; noting is as great as dust. When we are alive, it is under our feet, and when we are dead, it is above us.

Farida Kaali Jinhi Na…

Farida Kaali Jinhi Na Raavya Dhauli Ravey Koye
Kar Saai Sio Pirhari Rang Navela Hoye

Fareed, those who did not enjoy their Spouse when their hair was black – hardly any of them enjoy Him when their hair turns grey. So be in love with the Lord, so that your color may ever be new.

Dekh Farida Je Thia Sakkar…

Dekh Farida Je Thia Sakkar Hoi Vis

See, Fareed, what has happened: sugar has become poison. Without my Lord, who can I tell of my sorrow?

Farida Akkhi Dekh Patiniyan Sun Sun Reene Kann

Fareed, my eyes have become weak, and my ears have become hard of hearing. The body’s crop has become ripe and turned color.

Farida Ja Tau Khatan Vel Ta Tu Rata Duni Sio
Marag Sawaai Nahin Jaa Bharya Taa Laddya

Fareed, when there was time for you to earn good karma, you were in love with the world instead. Now, death has a strong foothold; when the load is full, it is taken away.

Fareed, do not turn around and strike those who strike you with their fists. Kiss their feet, and return to your own home.

Farida kiddi pavandiyi..

Jitt dihaadde dhan vari, saahe laye likhaai,
Malku ji kanni suneeda, muhu dikhaale aayi.
Jindu nimaani kaddiye, hadda ku khaddakaayi,
Saahe likhe na chalni, jindu ku samajhai.
Jindu vahuti marnu var, le jaasi parnaai,
Aapan hatthi jouli kae, kae gali laggae dhai.
Vaalhu niki puraslaat, kani na suniaai,
Farida kiddi pavandiyi, khadda na aapu muhaai.

The day of the bride’s wedding is pre-ordained. On that day, the Messenger of Death, of whom she had only heard, comes and shows its face. It breaks the bones of the body and pulls the helpless soul out. That pre-ordained time of marriage cannot be avoided. Explain this to your soul. The soul is the bride, and death is the groom. He will marry her and take her away. After the body sends her away with its own hands, whose neck will it embrace? The bridge to hell is narrower than a hair; haven’t you heard of it with your ears? Fareed, the call has come; be careful now – don’t let yourself be robbed.

Farida dar darvesi gaakhaddi…

Farida, dar darvesi gaakhaddi chalaan duniya bhati,
Bannih uthaayi potali, kithae vanya ghati.

Farid ji says that it is so difficult for one to be a humble selfless saint at the door of Lord. The ways of the world have tied me up and I have created a bundle of this filth. Where should I throw this bundle?

Farida je tu akal lateefu…

Farida, je tu akal lateefu, kaale likhu na lekhu.
Aapanadde giruvaan mahi, sir nivaan kari dekhu.

Farid ji tells us to stop saying bad of others. Rather, look into your own collar and correct your own vices.

Not every heart is capable

The following couplet was a favorite of Farid’s:-

Not every heart is capable of finding the secret of God’s love.
There are not pearls in every sea; there is not gold in every mine.

I wish ever to live

A Student asked Baba Farid if singing was lawful and proper. He replied that, according to Islam, it was certainly unlawful, but its propriety was still a matter of discussion. Nizam-ul-dauliya told Nasir-ud-din a disciple of his, that one day when he went to visit Baba Farid he stood at his door, and saw him dancing as he sang the following :-

I wish ever to live in Thy love, O God
If I become the dust under Thy feet, I shall live
I thy slave desire none but Thee in both worlds;
For Thee I will live and for Thee I will die.

Last night sad thoughts

The following sentences are taken from Baba Farid’s sermons:-

Last night sad thoughts possessed me,
But afterwards I reflected on my beautiful Lover.
I said I would do everything to go to His door.
My tears ran, and my Lover then caught my sleeve

Kabir A Great Indian Saint

संत कबीर के दोहे- Hindi Dohas of Sant Kabir in Roman English with English explanations.

काला नाला हीन जल, सो फिर पानी होय जो पानी मोती भया, सो फिर नीर न होय || 41 || .
Kala Nala Heen Jal So Phir Paani Hoye Jo Paani Moti Bhaya So Phir Neer Na Hoye	An ice becomes water in the course of time. The water that has become a pearl will never again become water.
___________________________________ कामी तारे क्रोधी तारे, लोभी की गति होय सलिल भक्त संसार में, तरत न देखा कोय || 42 || .
Kaami Tare Krodhi Tare Lobhi Ki Gati Hoye Salil Bhakta Sansar Me Tarat Na Dekha Koye	A man of lust or a man of anger can get salvation. A man of greed can come to the right path. But a person who drinks wine is never seen as being saved in this world.
___________________________________ तन मन लज्जा ना करे, काम बाण उर शाल एक काम सब बस किये, सुर नर मुनि बेहाल || 43 || .
Tan Man Lajja Na Kare Kaam Baan Ur Shaal Ek Kaam Sab Bas Kiye Sur Nar Muni Behaal	He who has arrows of lust pricked in his chest does not know how to tame his body or mind. The one lust has occupied the mind of all. The divine creatures, human beings and the people undertaking penance have been made to lose the peace by the lust.
___________________________________ घर जाये घर ऊभरे, घर राखे घर जाय एक अचम्भा देखिया, मुआ काल तो खाय || 44 || .
Ghar Jaaye Ghar Ubhare Ghar Raakhe Ghar Jaaye Ek Achambha Dekhiya Mua Kaal To Khaye	The utmost wonder is that the time devours everything.
___________________________________ कबीरा यह गति अटपटी चटपटी लखी ना जाय जो मन की खटपट मिटे अधर भया ठहराय || 45 ||
Kabira Yah Gati Atpati Chatpati Lakhi Naa Jaaye Jo Mana Ki Khatpat Mite Adhar Bhaya Thaharaye	A restless mind is not a mind in good state. Only the mind that becomes stable can get rest.

Sevak Seva Me Rahe Sevak Kahiye Soye Kahe Kabira Bavla Sevak Kabhi Na Hoye	A good disciple remains in the service of preceptor. A person who is senseless can never be a good disciple.
___________________________________ सतगुरु मिला जो जानिये, ज्ञान उजाला होय भरम का भंडा तोडकर रहे निराला होय || 47 || .
Satguru Mila Jo Janiye Gyan Ujala Hoye Bharam Ka Bhanda Todkar Rahe Nirala Hoye	If you will be at the feet of the preceptor then you will experience the glow of knowledge. You should break the sphere of delusion and maintain your independence.
___________________________________ बंधे को बंधे मिले, छूटे कौन उपाय जो मिले निरबन्ध को, पल में ले छुडाय || 48 || .
Bandhe Ko Bandhe Mile Chhoote Koun Upaaye Jo Mile Nirbandh Ko Pal Me Le Chhudaye	A person who has his arms tied meets others whose arms are also tied. Now how should they set themselves free. If they meet the one whose arms are not tied then he will set them free immediately.
___________________________________ कबीर लहरे समुद्र की मोती बिखरे आय बगुला परख न जान ही, हंसा चुन चुन खाय || 49 || .
Kabir Lahare Samudra Ki Moti Bikhare Aaye Bagula Parakh Na Jaan Hi Hansa Chun Chun Khaye	The waves of sea spread the pearls on the sea-shore. A heron cannot understand how to identify a pearl. A swan carefully identifies the pearls and gets satisfied.
___________________________________ कबीरा दर्शन साधु के, करण न कीजे हानि जो उद्यम से लक्ष्मी की, आलस मान स हानि || 50 || .
Kabira Darshan Sadhu Ke Karan Na Kije Kaani Jo Udham Se Lakshami Ki Alas Mana Se Haani	Dont shirk to meet a good person. An intoxicated or lethargic mind causes loss of wealth.
