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 Shahs poetry and philosophy strongly criticizes Islamic religious orthodoxy of his day.
Baba Bulleh Shah tried to convince Banda Singh Bairagi to renounce his campaign of revenge. Bulleh Shah told him that the same sword which fell upon Guru Gobind Singh's sons and innocent Sikhs also fell upon innocent Muslims. Hence killing innocent Muslim was not the answer to Aurangzeb's reign of oppression.
(Contd.) Bulleh Shah also hailed Guru Tegh Bahadur as a ghazi (Islamic term for a religious warrior) and incurred the wrath of the fanatic muslims at the time.
Banda Singh Bairagi was a contemporary of Bulleh Shah. In retaliation for the murder of Guru Gobind Singh's two sons by Aurangzeb, he sought revenge by killing common Muslims.
Bulle Shah's time was marked with communal strife between Muslims and Sikhs. But in that age Baba Bulle 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 Bulle Shah denounced the murder of an innocent Sikh and was censured by the mullas and muftis of Pandoke. Bulle Shah maintained that violence was not the answer to violence
This sufi song is written by Syed Abdullah Shah also known as BABA BULEH SHAH in 16th century. It is because of him the spread of Islam in Punjab. May Allah Bless His Soul in Peace. Ameen

No doubt his poetry is very special, unique and deep, and of course need something more than just feeling to understand his message. Fortunately or unfortunately if you find yourslf more in this kind of poetry, thn also check Mian Mohammad Bakhah's poetry.
if all muslims followed sufi islam the world would be a better place, but it is not REAL ISLAM....real islam is quran and model for real islam according to quran is the life of mohammed.
sufis were persecuted by ur so called sahria law qazis? Sufi teachers have claimed that Sufism pre-dates Islam and simply adopted Islam as a suitable vehicle
wat sufi teachers are you talking about man?? Sufism is a sect of islam because the first thing a sufi has to do is believe in the Sharia law, look it up anywhere. a sikh is singing the song because bulleh shah is big in punjab, india and punjab, pakistan
who cares who sang it first or who is it for..what matters is the message in it. babba bulleh shah didnt care about religion when they wrote, he had a message for every single individual..
dont just love the song. research the author of this poetic genius turned into musical prose. Baba Bulleh Shah, His life, works, spiritual attainment. THEN, will you become close to understanding the true nature of ISLAM.
This guy is great, somehow he sounds like Ali Azamat of Junoon group, doesn't he?
