Bulleh Shah is a folk mystic poet and intellectual whose teachings are admired and followed all over Punjab and around. He was born in a poor and respected Syed family in Kasur in 1680 AD. He had his preliminary
education from a mosque after which he went to his mentor Shah Anayat of Lahore for spiritual training. He opted for poetry and music as a mode of his message for the people. Through music and dance he spread his
message to the masses and his words became monumental for the generations to follow. Bulleh Shah departed in 1757 AD. But his poetry and ideas are still alive in the hearts of the people.
Bulleh Shah comes from the creed of folk mystic poets that starts from Baba Fareed Ganj Shakar and includes Lal Hussain. He stands prominent among them for his forceful expression. He challenges the establishment,
which exploits the masses and divides them in caste, faction and religious bifurcation. Beyond the classes, factions and religions, he preaches humanity and speaks for human relationship. He considers the
relationship as sacred love - love that unites God and the human being, man and woman, love that unites Heer and Ranjha to uproot all class differences. Bulleh Shah through his poetry advocated and spread peace
and love.
Bulleh Shah voices the right of weaker and the poor. Bulleh Shah, feeling the agony faced by the womenfolk, the weakest of all sections in his days, adopted various characters of women in his poetry.
As the times changed people seemed to have forgotten Bulleh Shah. His message of love and peace, brotherhood and fraternity is lost in material pursuits. The establishment has succeeded in creating divisions
on the basis of castes, factions and groups. People got divided and they fell. Women, minorities and weaker sections of society are facing enormous oppression. It's one against one rather than a union sought by the mystic poet. Today we need Bulleh Shah to kindle in us the light of love, to teach us the essence of peace and love, and to provide the weak majority of the world with the strength to strive and make it a better place to live in.
