has added a new journalIt is difficult to find an historical figure from the Sub-Continent whose popularity stretches equally across Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims ? each trying to claim him as their own. To the point that much of the written material about this great Muslim thinker is from Hindu and Sikh authors. This, perhaps, is the ultimate benchmark of the humanity of Bulleh Shah - a relatively unknown Punjabi Sufi, son of a village preacher, who wrote in the simple language and dialect of the illiterate common folk, who perhaps himself lived a life of relative peasantry having never ventured outside his neighboring localities of Punjab, who devoted his life to his lower-caste murshid, who never married, and who was even denied a funeral by the religious orthodoxy of his time.

This is the great mystery of love, the way in which our heart is awakened to its divine nature. Love burns away the impurities that cover our heart and soul.This love that is awakened in the heart also belongs to the core of creation, and is our greatest gift to life. The heart contains the deepest secret of creation and the mystery of our love. When we sing the song of the heart we bring together the inner and outer worlds, and infuse our love for God into every moment of the day, into every atom and every thought. We help the world come alive with love...

has added a new journalUlte hor zamane aaye,
Hun asaan bhed sajjan de paaye.
kaa(n) laggad nun maaran lagge,
chiriyan jurre khaaye
iraqiyan nun chabuk paunde,
gade khood khavaye
aapneyan vich ulfat naahee,
ke-he chaachche taaye
piyo putran ittfaak naa kaahee,
dheeyan naal naa maaye
sachcheyan nun hun milde dhakke,
jhoothe kol bahaaye
agle jaaye bankaale baithe,
pichliyan farash vichaye
Bullah jina hukam hazooron andaa,
tina nun kaun hataaye.
English translation:
"Perverse times have come,
I know the mystery of the beloved
crows have begun to hunt hawks,
and sparrows feed on falcons
horses bear the whipping,
while donkeys graze on lush green
no love is lost between relatives,
be they younger or elder uncles
There is no accord between fathers and sons,
Nor any between mothers and daughters
The truthful ones are being pushed about,
the tricksters are seated close by
The front liners have become wretched,
the back benchers sit on carpets
Those in tatters have turned into kings,
the kings have taken to begging
O Bulleh, that which is His command
who can alter His decree."
