In this song Baba Bulleh Shah is saying as if he was God and then the songs goes
"Bullah does not know who am I" i.e. me the egoistic one and the only creator bullah does not know about me.
"na main momeen vich maseetia na main vich kufrar diyan rita" God says that "I am neither with muslims in their mosques and neither am I with infidels and their rites"
so !!! if you know baba Bulleh Shah than realize that this poem/kalam was written by baba bulleh shah as what God Thinks of us!!!!!
This is my favorite song for a long time..i am going to have this song played at my funeral..i am sannyasin of Osho since childhood..it says All that Ever Need be Said...
I love when it says "I am the First and the Last " Truly God is This and No One Else but The Lord Jesus Christ said "I Am The First and The Last" .He is The Living one for ever even to this Day! Glory to him.
It says Awal Akhir Aap Nu Jana, Na Koi Duja Hor Pehchana, Mein tu Na Koi Hor Siyaana Bulla Shah Kehra Hai Kaun". In last sentence its Bullah Shah KEHRA hai kaun meaning Bulle Shah who is who? It is not KHARA hai kaun, "Bulle Shah Who is Standing" is Not Correct. Plz make correction of that. Its Kehra (who), NOT Khara (Standing)
Baba Bulleh Shah is one of the greatest poet in history. I think Bulleh Shah was far ahead of Ghalib. Bulleh Shah is a poet who can be compared to Rumi and Shams Tabrez
Bulleh Shah is poet who can be compared to Rumi or Shams Tabrez but not to Ghalib. I believe Bulleh Shah was at a higher level as compared to Ghalib.
Great singing by rabbi shergill. I consider Bulleh Shah the greatest poet and philosopher of the last 1300 years, equal to Ghalib. Bullah had more courage than any other poet in writing the TRUTH. Both Ghalib and Bullah should be made compulsory reading in all the schools of Pakistan, India and the rest of the world(after proper translation). They taught peace and love for all. Nobody is superior to another on the basis of cast, color, religion, ethnicity, ancestry, gender, etc. May be their wr
Deep wisdom of a beautiful mind. Great son of Punjab that touches your heart and soul BABA BULLAH SHAH. ..........words cannot express the depth of this poetry.
bulleh nanak kabir farid adi shankaracharya all from indian side(undivided india) knew something totally different. very few of us realise this.i think i'm getting closer to their truth.but like them i dont want to share it, because fools will never understand.hahaha.sufis,hindus, sikhs understand wat i'm saying.the rest r political not intellectual.
When you travel towards the One..the Light and see his existence with your enlightened-self..then you have to travel back to the World and thats the stage where Bulleh shah wrote this poem...all worldly things don't matter to the person who just had traveled the greatest heights a human being could go...Most of the buzurg's would contain it in their heart, but Bulleh shah has expressed it all in his poetry as he was so excited or Mast that he loved to proclaim his love and enlightenment....
Also, he mentions another place named Nadaun which was in Punjab hills in the Kangra valley now a part of Himachal since 1966.
Na main rehnda vich Nadaun
I am not a resident of Nadaun either
He visited Nadaun and greatly admired the Himalayan scenery and the simple people. In his writings, Bulleh Shah mentions Nadaun as "City of Innocent". He is said to have written the famous saying about Nadaun "Aaye Nadaun Jaaye Kaun" (Who comes to Nadaun would never want to go back)
Older generation punjabis, kashmiris, bengalis of all religions who grew up be4 partiton, used to refer ethnic hind/urdu speakers as hindostanis. In those days when a man from rural Punjab who couldnt afford to get married locally got a wife from UP etc. people used to say Hindostanan viah liaya(he married a hindostani). So, the correct translation would be
Na main Arabi na Lahori, Na main Hindi Shehar Nagauri
I am neither an Arab or from Lahore, Nor a hindi from the city of Nagaur.
@Nakshinoor, Good effort but there is tiny mistake in translation. In the lines Na Hindi, na shaher Nagauri Bulleh Shah is not talking about India as a whole he mentions being neither Lahori or Peshaouri(both Indian cities at the time) but he is talking about not being of Hindi/Urdu speaking heartland or Hindustan(the area between Punjab and Bengal), as the rest of Indian subcontinent used to call that region until the 20th century. Nagaur is a city in this region now in Rajasthan.
Wow! Beautiful! True words of a great saint! Resounds the great words of Lord Shri Krishna in Bhagwad Gita 'Na main aabi, na main khaki, na main aatish na main paun' - reclaiming 'I am the soul immortal, the manifestation of the divine'. And that is why I am in search of my true self ('jana main kaun hun?'). Beautiful lyrics. And a moving melody!! Inshah Allah!!
I so enjoy this song and have been listening it over youtube for the last 2 months...I have been trying to find to buy a CD. Amazon doesn't carry it. Does anyone know where I would find it. Sorry, I still don't use an MP3 player..yes. No time
@wordmaker00 ..nope, the words are 100 per cent accurate..he saying, bullah i dont knoqw myself..whereas bullah did, thats why sufis follow his footsteps..he is not saying bulla dont know me, he is saying the above!
Mir Bulleh Shah Qadiri Shatari, often referred to simply as Bulleh Shah (a shortened form of Abdullah Shah) lived in what is today Pakistan.
His family was very religious and had a long tradition of association with Sufis. Bulleh Shah's father was especially known for his learning and devotion to God, raising both Bulleh Shah and his sister in a life of prayer and meditation.
@MrNikomit well said dude....well said....it is in the world of today that we people are far away from the Almighty Allah and getting closer to the materialistic things.....baba bulleh shah had this vision about future(today) that this thing is soon going to happen when people will forget who they really are and who they really belong to.....alas, for the people of today, for we will return to Him one day.
the whole point of the kalam is that we are nothing besides nothing and you guys are arguing whether his ancestors are x or y. Seriously, time to pay attention to the message of his words.
SOMEBODY TOLD ME THE TRANSLATION IS GRAVELY WRONG.. THE CORRECT MEANING IS THAT bulla does no know who i am. It is GOD speaking. I am not here or there.
Hi brother naqshinoor.. If Baba Bulleh Shah rehmatullahi alays ancestors are of Uch sharif, or bukhara, then there is no way he is a descendant of Shaykh Sayyidina Abdul Qadir Jilani, cause if it is bukhara then he will be a bukhari sayyid.
And if it is from shaykh abdul qadir jilani then he will be a gilani sayyid.
Baba Bulleh Shah (R.U.A) after so many years of prays and worshiping Allah discovered that Allah (A.J.) is not only in seventh sky but he is in every single thing in the world. All the living & non-living on earth shows us the presence of Allah (A.J.). When he saw his heart and body he saw that Allah is in him also. Then he suddenly said these words which is now known as Kalam e Bulley Shah (R.U.A)
Thank you. I am an outsider, and I know Islam has different interpretations of the Koran, as all religions do of their sacred texts. I have to agree with what you are saying(but I am not a Moslem, though I love Sufism, and its poets have been a inspiration to me for years). That is the message I received from this wonderful poem and song. Regards from Australia.
Thank you for this song. I was born in the West, a Christian, but to me, an outsider, I love the Sufism. Here is the Treasure of Treasures, the Rose, pure light. A westerner, born a Christian, yet just a believer in the One, i bow to the wisdom in this song. It is pure gold, pure inspiration. Thank you. john
Hi there, the poerty of Baba Bulle Shah sends out one and only one clear message of Tawheed ( faith in one CREATOR). He explain's over and over that there clear difference between CREATOR and CREATION. Creator has power over all CREATION including all the massengers He sent over the period of time. His massengers included David PBUH, Moses PBUH, Jesus PBUH and the last and final massenger Muhammad PBUH.
Thank you. His poetry and writing is amazing. Here in the west, we only hear of the negative things from that part of the world, and , of course, the media presents a one sided view. It is good to know something about the culture of this wonderful country so close to the stars
I did write it; I am poet and this music and words inspired my words - even though I can not understand the language, my heart was moved deeply by the truth of them, their truth and light.
In the heart is a blazing light, starlight. This bone-bag is but dust, the dust of long dead stars yet inside it is hidden the Treasure of Treasures, the Rose, we look outside seeking the light searching what we know what we have forgotten, lost misplaced. If we look upon another with a loving gaze, we find a blazing, baring starlight. Look and find your heart, the sun
Inside us all is starlight. Hidden inside us is a blazing sun; we search for it in objects,outside in the world; we search for what we know yet do not know: It is right before us - united we are strong. This light shines in us, look into the eyes of another with empathy, there it is, a sun brighter than full moon light stars. In the eyes of another is a great treasure, look and find yourself, look and find your heart, the sun.
Starlight, made from the dust of stars, We linger, deliver, in this moment of fragmentary light; We hang between darkness and darkness; We search for the light in our hearts, in the world, the treasure of treasures, the Rose; sometimes that light is blazing white, a midday, full moon light. Such times are rare, for most times the world is shattered by this mirror, such are the differences between us. Except a dew frosted rose, one beautiful song bring us home.
The great saint bulleh shah says " Bulla ki jana mai kaun" , means god must be laughing at me (bulla) , and he says bullah you dont know who I am ....
What a beautyful cosmopolitan poetry .Ecstasy of Islam has always produced sainst and poets like these who use to spend time in the love of God and humanity because of whome Islam has spread to east.
It is time that we all unite and help the world tackle all its problems. Whether we are muslims, christians, hindus, sikhs, buddhists, parsis, or any other religion, we must ignore this and have one aim: To win for our world without any violence.
I am truely impressed by the song. I am also not able to connect any one and any thing. Have the same feeling of Do I stand alone before. I guess no more I stand alone as there are many like me.
I find it amusing that a non muslim is telling ME what muslims think. I am a muslim from pakistan, and I am telling you the beliefs of MYSELF and those around me. We DONOT believe that just being a descendant of Muhammad gives you a special status. We DO BELIEVE in tolerance to minorities. You can choose to be blind to that, and make generalizations based on the actions of a few. That is your call, and I dont care. But dont tell ME what I or MUSLIMS around me believe. You are IGNORANT of that.
yt2vinay..let me correct you here there is no "Mohammedan Islam". This term is alien to Islam, its a forced Western Term induced to further alienate the true teachings. Muhammad or Ahmed was the last of the many; 124000 prophets sent on Earth. For the lack of better words or translation and amidst so many languages..even "Ram" and Buddha, Krishna and scores of them in the past could and should have been Prophets. Thay were all send to guide humanity from going stray. Get the picture..I hope so.
WOW.. what a great wording + great melody. really sweet ! And YES ! Sufis are true Muslims. But we also be clear that todays socalled jugglers arent true sufi. Sufism belongs to inner world (heart+soul). But this inner noor & light enlightens sufi's outer world too.
Sufis are the real muslims, the ones who take the core concept of the Quran which is PEACE. They dont take everything literally, but in a spiritual matter, unlike the majority of muslims today, but its not fair for you to say Sufism is Islam, because every sufi has islamic beliefs and they are Muslims at another level!! At a spiritual, and peaceful level that all muslims should be following their footsteps!
little typo, i mean its not fair for you to say sufism isnt islam, because how do u know what islam is? Maybe the real islam is sufism! No doubt about that in my heart!
There are too many things in the Quran, that do NOT have a core concept, they are just simple directions, so you can't say u have to take a meaning as a whole. Sufism is wonderful but i dont think any of us can be sure what we practice is true Islam. only the all mighty knows, best we can do is to follow the quran and sunnah
@nashenas786 youv heard his words but it seems to have only entrenched your stereotypical views and held beliefs..listen again and you will find none of the divisive language that you have just used..who are to say what is real or not...
i presume this is what the poet wanted....he wanted us to question ourselves and know who we really are and what makes us the person we are..whether that is religion or not...i guess the poet would be happy to see us debating his words...
Well if all PeterKuriakose could find in the song is whether Bulleh Shah's poetical denial of existence from Adam and Eve, I feel sorry for him and the poor soul needs to go some distance b4 he can admire sufism or Bulleh Shah's poetry or for that matter this jazzed up version of Bulleh Shah's famous kafi...Now dont ask what is kafi?
Saudi Arabia is not "most Muslim countries". Sufism has ONLY been part of the Islamic world.
Adam and Eve: I already answered that point. See the point about the different meaning to the entire poem. (You need to know the language to understand the difference.)
"Plenty of works" actually say there is NO CERTAINTY about details of his life. One could ascribe almost ANYTHING to Bulleh Shah.
But only the actual Punjabi verses can convey the real meanings; there is more than one meaning which makes sense. The translation, naturally, only conveys one possible meaning.
example
"Bulleh, ki jana mein kaun?"
can also be translated as
"Oh Bulleh, how knowledgable are you regarding what I am?"
Bullah Shah was an atheist. That's pretty clear from the poem that he composed. Read it again.
To say that this is the emotional heart of Islam, is a joke.
Bulleh Shah was disillusioned with the idea of God and religion from a young age. That's why he asks if he is alone in thinking like this, when the rest around him were religious.
"Bulleh, ki jaana mein kaun?" = "Oh Bulleh, how can you comprehend me?"
The song is, in its essence, describing how God is not comparable to anything which is a part of creation; the song constantly uses "Na mein.." = "I am not..."
It is another way of representing the Islamic conception of God as Unique and superior and uncomparable to His creation.
He didn't criticize religion; he criticized clergies. Pure Islam is opposed to clergies.
By saying he was not descended of Adam and Eve, he is conradicting the Quran.
Bulleh Shah was indeed an atheist, and attempts to equate Sufism to Islam, are hilarious! Sufism only borrows the monotheism of Islam, and has nothing else in common, least of all, the peaceful nature of it, in contrast with the violence of Islam, everywhere.
Criticizing clergies is not the same as attacking orthodoxy or being an atheist; Bulleh Shah was orthodox and criticized clerics because Islam criticizes clerics.
Regarding Sufism: that is your opinion. Ask Sufis, and they'll tell you, "We are 'Those submit in love to God alone'" = "We are 'Muslims'"
So what if he supported Sikh rebels. The Mughals weren't exactly decent examples of Muslims; knowledgable Muslims, along with the Sikhs, also would have been in uproar at that time.
Peter...you are way off by saying that about Bulleh Shah. He is in deep love with Allah following the Chisti sufi saint of the time Shah Inyat who was a gardener. So why was he always mentioning him in his poetry?
You just need to read his other poems they are all about cleansing one's inner self so that you can meet with Allah.
Your claims are contrary to his poetry and the whole history of punjabi poets like Baba Farid ignorants like yourself will say that he wasn't a muslim. LOL.

Bullah am I the center, that is everywhere yet no where?
Am I the stillness in the movement of the stars?
Am I the dance or the dancer? \Am I the movement that goes nowhere yet every where?
Am this speck of light in the darkness,
that seeks to be reunited with the one,
the sun?
Bullah, I do not know, who i am.

Thank you for this song. I was born in the West, a Christian, but to me, an outsider, I love the Sufism. Here is the Treasure of Treasures, the Rose, pure light. A westerner, born a Christian, yet just a believer in the One, i bow to the wisdom in this song. It is pure gold, pure inspiration. Thank you. john

Hi there, the poerty of Baba Bulle Shah sends out one and only one clear message of Tawheed ( faith in one CREATOR). He explain's over and over that there clear difference between CREATOR and CREATION. Creator has power over all CREATION including all the massengers He sent over the period of time. His massengers included David PBUH, Moses PBUH, Jesus PBUH and the last and final massenger Muhammad PBUH.

Thank you. His poetry and writing is amazing. Here in the west, we only hear of the negative things from that part of the world, and , of course, the media presents a one sided view. It is good to know something about the culture of this wonderful country so close to the stars

Inside us all is a hidden lantern, a blazing sun.
We look towards traitorous objects
searching for what we know but do not know,
seeking the indescribable, the One, the Light.
The it is in front of us, yet few can see clearly.
When we give ourselves in love and empathy, we find it in the eyes of another.
There it is that blazing star light.
look and find your heart,
the sun

Hidden inside us is a shinning light.
We search the world seeking ourselves,
for that which we know but do not know,
looking for the indescribable, the One, the light.
if we give ourselves in empathy,
we find it there;
In the eyes of another.
Look there and find that blazing star light.
Look there and find your heart,
the sun.

I find it amusing that a non muslim is telling ME what muslims think. I am a muslim from pakistan, and I am telling you the beliefs of MYSELF and those around me. We DONOT believe that just being a descendant of Muhammad gives you a special status. We DO BELIEVE in tolerance to minorities. You can choose to be blind to that, and make generalizations based on the actions of a few. That is your call, and I dont care. But dont tell ME what I or MUSLIMS around me believe. You are IGNORANT of that.

yt2vinay..let me correct you here there is no "Mohammedan Islam". This term is alien to Islam, its a forced Western Term induced to further alienate the true teachings. Muhammad or Ahmed was the last of the many; 124000 prophets sent on Earth. For the lack of better words or translation and amidst so many languages..even "Ram" and Buddha, Krishna and scores of them in the past could and should have been Prophets. Thay were all send to guide humanity from going stray. Get the picture..I hope so.

WOW.. what a great wording + great melody. really sweet ! And YES ! Sufis are true Muslims. But we also be clear that todays socalled jugglers arent true sufi. Sufism belongs to inner world (heart+soul). But this inner noor & light enlightens sufi's outer world too.
greeaat 3 years ago
Sufis are the real muslims, the ones who take the core concept of the Quran which is PEACE. They dont take everything literally, but in a spiritual matter, unlike the majority of muslims today, but its not fair for you to say Sufism is Islam, because every sufi has islamic beliefs and they are Muslims at another level!! At a spiritual, and peaceful level that all muslims should be following their footsteps!
nashenas786 3 years ago 19
little typo, i mean its not fair for you to say sufism isnt islam, because how do u know what islam is? Maybe the real islam is sufism! No doubt about that in my heart!
nashenas786 3 years ago
There are too many things in the Quran, that do NOT have a core concept, they are just simple directions, so you can't say u have to take a meaning as a whole. Sufism is wonderful but i dont think any of us can be sure what we practice is true Islam. only the all mighty knows, best we can do is to follow the quran and sunnah

Well if all PeterKuriakose could find in the song is whether Bulleh Shah's poetical denial of existence from Adam and Eve, I feel sorry for him and the poor soul needs to go some distance b4 he can admire sufism or Bulleh Shah's poetry or for that matter this jazzed up version of Bulleh Shah's famous kafi...Now dont ask what is kafi?
chinkman24 3 years ago
That's not nonsense. That's a fact.
Saudi Arabia is not "most Muslim countries". Sufism has ONLY been part of the Islamic world.
Adam and Eve: I already answered that point. See the point about the different meaning to the entire poem. (You need to know the language to understand the difference.)
"Plenty of works" actually say there is NO CERTAINTY about details of his life. One could ascribe almost ANYTHING to Bulleh Shah.
This is a waste of time... I'm done with this.

bigturban 3 years ago 2
Singer is Rabbi Shergill singh and yes it is Punjabi;
Bullhey shah is saying,"I don't know who I am"
But if you think deeply, he in fact is asking YOU (all of us),"Do you really know who you are?".
Well, a song written by a Muslim sufi poet and sung beautifully by Rabbi gives us the true meaning of what bullhey shah is trying to convey!
Think about it!!

This song embodies the emotional heart of Islam.
Sufism is the artistic heart of Islam.
dbzerbardock 3 years ago
The translation is good.
But only the actual Punjabi verses can convey the real meanings; there is more than one meaning which makes sense. The translation, naturally, only conveys one possible meaning.
example
"Bulleh, ki jana mein kaun?"
can also be translated as
"Oh Bulleh, how knowledgable are you regarding what I am?"
and it totally changes the meaning of the verses.
dbzerbardock 3 years ago
Bullah Shah was an atheist. That's pretty clear from the poem that he composed. Read it again.
To say that this is the emotional heart of Islam, is a joke.
Bulleh Shah was disillusioned with the idea of God and religion from a young age. That's why he asks if he is alone in thinking like this, when the rest around him were religious.
PeterKuriakose 3 years ago
Bulleh Shah was absolutely not an atheist.
"Bulleh, ki jaana mein kaun?" = "Oh Bulleh, how can you comprehend me?"
The song is, in its essence, describing how God is not comparable to anything which is a part of creation; the song constantly uses "Na mein.." = "I am not..."
It is another way of representing the Islamic conception of God as Unique and superior and uncomparable to His creation.
He didn't criticize religion; he criticized clergies. Pure Islam is opposed to clergies.
dbzerbardock 3 years ago
"Na maen bheth mazhab da paaya
Ne maen aadam havva jaaya"
Translation:
"Secrets of religion, I have not known
From Adam and Eve, I am not born"
By saying he was not descended of Adam and Eve, he is conradicting the Quran.
Bulleh Shah was indeed an atheist, and attempts to equate Sufism to Islam, are hilarious! Sufism only borrows the monotheism of Islam, and has nothing else in common, least of all, the peaceful nature of it, in contrast with the violence of Islam, everywhere.
PeterKuriakose 3 years ago
Criticizing clergies is not the same as attacking orthodoxy or being an atheist; Bulleh Shah was orthodox and criticized clerics because Islam criticizes clerics.
Regarding Sufism: that is your opinion. Ask Sufis, and they'll tell you, "We are 'Those submit in love to God alone'" = "We are 'Muslims'"
So what if he supported Sikh rebels. The Mughals weren't exactly decent examples of Muslims; knowledgable Muslims, along with the Sikhs, also would have been in uproar at that time.
dbzerbardock 3 years ago
Peter...you are way off by saying that about Bulleh Shah. He is in deep love with Allah following the Chisti sufi saint of the time Shah Inyat who was a gardener. So why was he always mentioning him in his poetry?
You just need to read his other poems they are all about cleansing one's inner self so that you can meet with Allah.
Your claims are contrary to his poetry and the whole history of punjabi poets like Baba Farid ignorants like yourself will say that he wasn't a muslim. LOL.
bakwas23 3 years ago
Man do u know anything about sufism or bulleh shah here is a quote that should tell you what its all about.
a)Leading a disciplined life as prescribed in Islam (Shariat),
(b) Following the path delineated by the Murshid or Guru (Tariqat),
(c) Gaining enlightenment (Haqiqat),
(d) On realization of truth, getting merged into Divine Reality (Marfat)
In Bullah's Words
"Shariat is my midwife, Tariqat. is my mother
This is how I have arrived at the truth of Haqiqat
