The poetry of Bullhe Shah (d. 1758) is considered one of the
glories of premodern Panjabi literature. Born in Uch, Panjab, 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 Panjabi diaspora. Indeed, many young people in South
Asia are already acquainted albeit unknowingly at times with the
iconic eighteenth-century Panjabi poet s words through popular
musical genres of the twenty-first century.
The striking new translation in English is presented alongside
the Panjabi text, in the Gurmukhi script, re-edited on the basis of
the best modern Pakistani and Indian editions. Bullhe Shah s Sufi
Lyrics" thus offers at once the most complete and most approachable
version of this great poet s works yet available.
The Murty Classical Library of India makes available original
texts and modern English translations of the masterpieces of
literature and thought from across the whole spectrum of Indic
languages over the past two millennia in the most authoritative and
accessible formats on offer anywhere."
