Book Summary
About the Book: Sufi Lyrics
The poetry of Bullhe Shah (d. 1758) is considered one of the glories of
premodern Punjabi literature. Born in Uch, Punjab, in present-day Pakistan,
Bullhe Shah drew profoundly upon Sufi mysticism in his writings. His lyrics,
famous for their vivid style and outspoken denunciation of artificial religious
divisions, have long been held in affection by Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs and
they continue to win audiences today across national boundaries and in the
global Punjabi diaspora. Indeed, many young people in South Asia are already
acquainted-albeit unknowingly at times-with the iconic eighteenth-century
Punjabi poets words through popular musical genres of the twenty-first century.
