ਕਦੇ ਖੜੇਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਈ, ਜਿਹੜੀ ਚੀਜ਼ ਅੱਜ ਫੈਸ਼ਨ ਦੇ ਤੌਰ 'ਤੇ ਵਰਤੀ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ, ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਸਾਲ-ਛੇ ਮਹੀਨਿਆਂ ਤੱਕ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਵੀ ਕੋਈ ਵੁੱਕਤ ਨਾ ਰਹੇ।
ਕੋਈ ਵੇਲਾ ਸੀ ਜਦੋਂ ਸੱਗੀ ਫੁੱਲ, ਪਿੱਪਲ ਪੱਤੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਸ਼ਿੰਗਾਰਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਸਜੀਆਂ ਮੁਟਿਆਰ ਪੰਜਾਬਣਾਂ ਹੋਣ ਦਾ ਅਹਿਸਾਸ ਕਰਾਉਂਦੀਆਂ ਸਨ ਪਰ ਅੱਜ ਇਹ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਚੀਜ਼ਾਂ ਅਜਾਇਬ ਘਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਸ਼ਿੰਗਾਰ ਬਣ ਕੇ ਰਹਿ ਗਈਆ ਹਨ। ਹੁਣ ਤਾਂ ਸੌ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਦਸ ਮੁਟਿਆਰਾਂ ਵੀ ਅਜਿਹੀਆਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਲੱਭਦੀਆਂ ਜਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਪਰਾਂਦੇ ਨੂੰ ਅਹਿਮੀਅਤ ਦਿੰਦੀਆਂ ਹੋਣ। ਕਿਸੇ ਵੇਲੇ ਆਸਾ ਸਿੰਘ ਮਸਤਾਨਾ ਦਾ ਗੀਤ �ਕਾਲੀ ਤੇਰੀ ਗੁੱਤ 'ਤੇ ਪਰਾਂਦਾ ਤੇਰਾ ਲਾਲ ਨੀ, ਰੂਪ ਦੀਏ ਰਾਣੀਏ ਪਰਾਂਦੇ ਨੂੰ ਸੰਭਾਲ ਨੀ' ਕੰਨਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਖੰਡ-ਮਿਸ਼ਰੀ ਘੋਲਦਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਸੀ ਪਰ ਦੁੱਖ ਦੀ ਗੱਲ ਇਹ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਰੂਪ ਦੀਆਂ ਰਾਣੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਨਾ ਪਰਾਂਦਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਸੰਭਾਲਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਨਾ ਹੀ ਲੰਮੀਆਂ ਗੁੱਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ। ਸ਼ਹਿਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਗੱਲ ਤਾਂ ਵੱਖਰੀ, ਪੇਂਡੂ ਕੁੜੀਆਂ ਸੀਨਿਆਂ 'ਤੇ ਛੁਰੀਆਂ ਚਲਾਉਂਦਾ। ਸ਼ਾਇਦ ਇਸੇ ਕਰਕੇ ਵੱਖ-ਵੱਖ ਕਵੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਪਰਾਂਦੇ ਦੀ ਮਹੱਤਤਾ ਬਿਆਨ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ। ਕਿਸੇ ਨੇ ਪਰਾਂਦੇ ਨੂੰ ਸੱਪ ਵਾਂਗ ਫੁੰਕਾਰੇ ਮਾਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ ਆਖਿਆ ਹੈ, ਕਿਸੇ ਨੇ ਚੋਬਰਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਨੀਂਦਾ ਉਡਾਉਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਤੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੇ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਮੁਟਿਆਰ ਦੇ ਹੁਸਨ ਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਕ ਆਖਿਆ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਸੱਚ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਪਹਿਲੇ ਵੇਲਿਆਂ ਵਿਚ ਮੁਟਿਆਰ ਦੀਆਂ ਸਧਰਾਂ ਪਰਾਂਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਵੀ ਜੁੜੀਆਂ ਹੁੰਦੀਆਂ ਸਨ। ਪਰਾਂਦੇ ਨੂੰ ਮਹਿਕਦੀ ਜਵਾਨੀ ਨਾਲ ਜੋੜ ਕੇ ਦੇਖਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਸੀ। ਪਰਾਂਦਾ ਮੁਟਿਆਰ ਦੇ ਹੁਸਨ ਨੂੰ ਚਾਰ ਚੰਨ ਲਗਾ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਰੂਪ ਦੀ ਸੋਭਾ ਵਧ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਸ਼ਿੰਗਾਰ ਦੇ ਬਾਕੀ ਸਾਧਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਆਪੋ-ਆਪਣਾ ਥਾਂ ਹੈ, ਉਸੇ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਪਰਾਂਦਾ ਆਪਣਾ ਰੋਲ ਅਦਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਅਤੇ ਵਿਆਹਾਂ ਮੌਕੇ ਮੁਟਿਆਰਾਂ ਸਹੁਰੇ ਘਰ ਕਈ-ਕਈ ਦਰਜਨ ਪਰਾਂਦੇ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਜਾਂਦੀਆਂ। ਹੁਣ ਸਮਾਂ ਏਨਾ ਬਦਲ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਸਭ ਦੇ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਹੈ। ਸਕੂਲ-ਕਾਲਜ ਵਿਚ ਪੜ੍ਹਦੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਵੀ ਕੁੜੀ ਨੂੰ ਪੁੱਛ ਲਵੋ, �ਤੁਸੀਂ ਗੁੱਤ ਦੀ ਥਾਂ ਗਿੱਠ ਕੁ ਲੰਮੇ ਵਾਲਾਂ 'ਤੇ ਰਬੜ ਬੈਂਡ ਚੜ੍ਹਾਇਆ ਹੋਇਐ, ਜੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਲੰਮੀ ਗੁੱਤ ਰੱਖ ਲਵੋਂ ਤਾਂ ਬਹੁਤੀ ਚੰਗੀ ਗੱਲ ਹੋਵੇ।' ਅੱਗੋਂ ਜਵਾਬ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਹੈ, �ਸਾਰਾ ਦਿਨ ਗਰਦਨ ਨੂੰ ਪਸੀਨਾ ਜਿਹਾ ਆਉਂਦਾ ਰਹਿੰਦੈ, ਕੌਣ ਕਰੇ ਯੱਬ੍ਹ ਗੁੱਤ ਰੱਖਣਾ ਦਾ, ਪੋਨੀ ਵਧੀਆ ਐ, ਨਾ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਵਾਹੁਣ-ਸੰਵਾਰਨ 'ਤੇ ਬਹੁਤਾ ਝੰਜਟ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਲੋੜ ਐ...।' ਇਹ ਗੱਲ ਆਪਣੀ ਥਾਂ ਠੀਕ ਹੋ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ ਪਰ ਸੋਹਣੇ ਦੇਸ਼ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੀਆਂ ਮੁਟਿਆਰਾਂ ਜਦੋਂ ਇਹ ਵਿਚਾਰ ਰੱਖਣ ਲੱਗੀਆਂ ਹੋਣ ਤਾਂ ਮਨ ਨੂੰ ਹੌਲ ਜਿਹਾ ਪੈਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਗੁਰਦਾਸ ਮਾਨ ਦਾ ਗੀਤ ਵੀ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸੁਣਿਆ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ, �ਟੰਗੇ ਰਹਿੰਦੇ ਕਿੱਲੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਪਰਾਂਦੇ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਰਾਤੀਂ ਯਾਰ ਵਿਛਾੜੇ', ਜਿਸ ਵਿਚ ਪਰਾਂਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਮੁਟਿਆਰ ਦੀਆਂ ਸਧਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਜੋੜ ਕੇ ਪੇਸ਼ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਸੱਚ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਜਦੋਂ ਮਨ ਵਿਚ ਕੋਈ ਚਾਅ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇ, ਸਧਰਾਂ ਮਰ ਗਈਆਂ ਹੋਣ, ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਨਾਂਅ ਦੀ ਕੋਈ ਚੀਜ਼ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇ, ਉਦੋਂ ਕੀਹਦੇ ਲਈ ਸੰਵਰਨਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਜ਼ਮਾਨਾ ਭਾਵੇਂ ਬਦਲ ਜਾਵੇ, ਫੈਸ਼ਨ ਭਾਵੇਂ ਕੋਈ ਵੀ ਆ ਜਾਵੇ, ਸਾਨੂੰ ਆਪਣਾ ਪਿਛੋਕੜ ਨਹੀਂ ਭੁੱਲਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ, ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਜਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਅਤੀਤਵਿਸਾਰ ਦਿੰਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ, ਸਮਾਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਘੱਟ ਹੀ ਮੁਆਫ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ!!!

Amrita Pritam (August 31, 1919 – October 31, 2005) was an Indian writer and poet, considered the first prominent woman Punjabi poet, novelist, and essayist, and the leading 20th-century poet of the Punjabi language, who is equally loved on both the sides of the India-Pakistan border She is most remembered for her poignant poem, Aj Aakhaan Waris Shah Nu (Today I invoke Waris Shah - "Ode to Waris Shah", an elegy to the 18th-century Punjabi poet, an expression of her anguish over massacres during the partition of India. As a novelist her most noted work was Pinjar (The Skeleton) (1950), in which she created her memorable character, Puro, an epitome of violence against women, loss of humanity and ultimate surrender to existential fate; the novel was made into an award-winning film, Pinjar in 2003. When the former British India was partitioned into the independent states of India and Pakistan in 1947, she migrated from Lahore, to India, though she remained equally popular in Pakistan throughout her life, as compared to her contemporaries like Mohan Singh and Shiv Kumar Batalvi. Known as the most important voice for the women in Punjabi literature, in 1956, she became the first woman to win the Sahitya Akademi Award for her magnum opus, a long poem, Sunehray , later she received the Bhartiya Jnanpith, one of India's highest literary awards, in 1982 for Kagaz Te Canvas (The Paper and the Canvas). The Padma Shri came her way in 1969 and finally, Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian award, in 2004, and in the same year she was honoured with India's highest literary award, given by the Sahitya Akademi (India's Academy of Letters), the Sahitya Akademi Fellowship given to the "immortals of literature" for lifetime achievement.
Personal life In 1935, Amrita married Pritam Singh, son of a leading hosiery merchant of Lahore's Anarkali bazaar. In 1960, Amrita Pritam left her husband for poet Sahir Ludhianvi (Abdul Hayee). The story of this love is depicted in her autobiography, Rasidi Ticket. When another woman intruded into the love life of Sahir, Amrita found solace in the companionship of the renowned artist and writer Imroz. She spent the last forty years of her life with Imroz, who also designed most of her book covers. Their life together is also the subject of a book, Amrita Imroz: A Love Story.
She died in her sleep on 31 October 2005 at the age of 86 in New Delhi, after a long illness. She is survived by her partner Imroz, daughter Kandlla, son Navraj, daughter-in-law Alka, and her grandchildren, Taurus, Noor, Aman and Shilpi.

The shoes made in different parts of Punjab out of self lured leather have different traditions. Light shoes were considered the best and to explain this aspect the cobblers used to say that even the sparrows can fly with them. Earlier shoes which have come to be known as Punjabi Juttis throughout the world were embroidered with gold and silver wires all over in different patterns covering every parts of the pair so that it looked as if it was made of solid gold and silver. Now even when golden and silver threads are used to embroider these shoes, the quality of these world famous shoes is still maintained.
A little history about the Punjabi Jutti or beaded shoes is very interesting. It sounds like it may be a lost art or one that becomes very rare given modernization. There are people trying to keep the traditional ways of making these shoes survive!
Till recently, the cobbler was one of the essential workmen of the village community in North west India including Rajasthan, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & kashmir. He was entitled to have the skins of all animals dying a natural death, or to share themwith the village sweepers. Apart from his right to the skins of dead animals, he also got a share or fixed amount of produce, which varied from place to place. In return he was required to supply shoes to the whole family of his patrons once or twice a year, and to provide cattle thongs, plough gear, headstalls for cattle and other leather products of agricultural utility.
With modernisation and machines taking over for most manufacturing activities, the punjabi jutti was slowly losing its presence and glory. And so most of the craftsmen were looking for alternative means of occupation. Manufacture of Punjabi juttis or Khussas needs no machines. It only needs recognition. The craftsmen are still there. What is needed is someone who would admire their products and buy them.

Kaur
Kaur (Punjabi: ਕੌਰ; Hindi: कौर) in Sikhism (meaning: "princess") is a mandatory last name for female Sikhs, in the same way as Singh is for male Sikhs.
History
Kaur, is term used by Sikh women either as the final element of a compound personal name or as a last name. It cannot be regarded as a true surname or family name. Its origin goes back to Sanskrit word, 'Kunwar' or Kaur which changed into Kaur by metathesis. Among Sikhs, female names are often derived from male names by the addition of Kaur. The tenth guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, made it mandatory for Sikh females to use the name Kaur and for Sikh males to use the name Singh, when he administered Amrit (baptism) to both males and female Sikhs. All female Sikhs were asked to use the name Kaur after their forename and males were to use the name Singh. Since 'Kaur' means princess), it acts as a symbol of equality among males and females. This custom further confirmed the equality of both genders as was the tradition set by the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak. It also gave women the sense of self-respect. Guru Gobind Singh said, "You are my beloved, my daughters. You must be respected. How can this world be without you?". "You don’t have to take anybody else's name. You are an individual, you are the equivalent of a prince, and you keep Kaur as your given name. Kaur provides Sikh women with a status equal to all men. This was also intended to reduce the prejudice created by caste-typing based on the family name. Prejudice based on caste was still rampant during Guru Gobind's time (17th century). This particularly affected women who were expected to take their husband's family name upon marriage.

Shaheed Udham Singh (1899-1940)
Udham Singh, a revolutionary nationalist, was born Sher Singh on 26 December 1899, at Sunam, in the then princely state of Patiala. His father, Tahal Singh, was at that time working as a watchman on a railway crossing in the neighbouring village of Upall. Sher Singh lost his parents before he was seven years and was admitted along with his brother Mukta Singh to the Central Khalsa Orphanage at Amritsar on 24 October 1907. As both brothers were administered the Sikh initiatory rites at the Orphanage, they received new names, Sher Singh becoming Udham Singh and Mukta Singh Sadhu Singh. In 1917, Udham Singh's brother also died, leaving him alone in the world.
Udham Singh left the Orphanage after passing the matriculation examination in 1918. He was present in the Jallianvala Bag on the fateful Baisakhi day, 13 April 1919, when a peaceful assembly of people was fired upon by General Reginald Edward Harry Dyer, killing over one thousand people. The event which Udham Singh used to recall with anger and sorrow, turned him to the path of revolution. Soon after, he left India and went to the United States of America. He felt thrilled to learn about the militant activities of the Babar Akalis in the early 1920's, and returned home. He had secretly brought with him some revolvers and was arrested by the police in Amritsar, and sentenced to four years imprisonment under the Arms Act. On release in 1931, he returned to his native Sunam, but harassed by the local police, he once again returned to Amritsar and opened a shop as a signboard painter, assuming the name of Ram Muhammad Singh Azad. This name, which he was to use later in England, was adopted to emphasize the unity of all the religious communities in India in their struggle for political freedom.
Udham Singh was deeply influenced by the activities of Bhagat Singh and his revolutionary group. In 1935, when he was on a visit to Kashmlr, he was found carrying Bhagat Singh's portrait. He invariably referred to him as his guru. He loved to sing political songs, and was very fond of Ram Prasad Bismal, who was the leading poet of the revolutionaries. After staying for some months in Kashmlr, Udham Singh left India. He wandered about the continent for some time, and reached England by the mid-thirties. He was on the lookout for an opportunity to avenge the Jalliavala Bagh tragedy. The long-waited moment at last came on 13 March 1940. On that day, at 4.30 p.m. in the Caxton Hall, London, where a meeting of the East India Association was being held in conjunction with the Royal Central Asian Society, Udham Singh fired five to six shots from his pistol at Sir Michael O'Dwyer, who was governor of the Punjab when the Amritsar massacre had taken place. O'Dwyer was hit twice and fell to the ground dead and Lord Zetland, the Secretary of State for India, who was presiding over the meeting was injured. Udham Singh was overpowered with a smoking revolver. He in fact made no attempt to escape and continued saying that he had done his duty by his country.
On 1 April 1940, Udham Singh was formally charged with the murder of Sir Michael O'Dwyer. On 4 June 1940, he was committed to trial, at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, before Justice Atkinson, who sentenced him to death. An appeal was filed on his behalf which was dismissed on 15 July 1940. On 31 July 1940, Udham Singh was hanged in Pentonville Prison in London.
Udham Singh was essentially a man of action and save his statement before the judge at his trial, there was no writing from his pen available to historians. Recently, letters written by him to Shiv Singh Jauhal during his days in prison after the shooting of Sir Michael O'Dwyer have been discovered and published. These letters show him as a man of great courage, with a sense of humour. He called himself a guest of His Majesty King George, and he looked upon death as a bride he was going to wed. By remaining cheerful to the last and going joyfully to the gallows, he followed the example of Bhagat Singh who had been his beau ideal. During the trial, Udham Singh had made a request that his ashes be sent back to his country, but this was not allowed. In 1975, however, the Government of India, at the instance of the Punjab Government, finally succeeded in bringing his ashes home. Lakhs of people gathered on the occasion to pay homage to his memory.

Islam is the religion of allegiance to God that began historically with the prophet Muhammad in Arabia in the 7th century. However, according to its own teachings, Islam began as the way of life which God intended for his creation from the start. Human rebellion and sin meant that God constantly sent prophets, including Moses and Jesus, to summon people back to the proper religion. Muhammad was told to warn his people in the town of Mecca, in current day Saudi Arabia, about the truth of God being spoken through him. A small minority of people accepted him and made up the first small community of Muslims. As a result of persecution, they, with Muhammad, moved to Yathrib in 622. This move to Yathrib, also called Medina, is known as the hijra, and the Muslims who followed Muhammad are known as Muhajirun and those who supported Muhammad in Medina are known as Ansar (the helpers). Islam means "entering into a condition of peace and security with God through allegiance and surrender to him." This is what Muhammad discovered when, as a young man, in the midst of rival claims about God from the Jews, Christians, and many polytheists in Arabia, he used to go to Mount Hira near Mecca to search for the truth about God. It was here, in a cave on the mountain, that he was overwhelmed with a tremendous sense of God (or his messenger Gabriel) pressing upon him and saying, "Iqra'," "Recite." In other words, "Recite in the name of your Lord who has created, created man from a drop..." These are the first words revealed by God, which were later collected into the Qur'an, the Islamic holy book. Muslims believe the Qur'an is God's actual utterance and has been with him in heaven from eternity. God has sent this utterance as guidance to humankind through successive messengers such as Musa and 'Isa, who each transmitted it to meet the needs of their own people. Finally, God sent the Qur'an in its complete form through the last messenger, Muhammad, who was only a man, exemplary though he was. He was the human channel of God's will. From the first dramatic moment on Mount Hira, Muhammad was given the all-important understanding that if God is God, there cannot be rival accounts of "who God is," and there certainly cannot be rival gods or many gods. There can only be God, and for that reason he is called Allah, "the one who is God." Neither can there be rival religions or people divided against each other - all people come from God and return to him after death for exact judgement on their actions. All people should, therefore, become a single umma, or community, and every action and aspect of life should bear witness to the fact that "there is no god but God, and Muhammad is his messenger." This witness is the Shahada, the first of the Five Pillars of Islam, the foundations of Muslim life. The Five Pillars give structure and unity to Muslims all over the world. The Foundations of Life: The Qur'an is the nonnegotiable authority in Muslim life and belief. But it does not cover all circumstances in detail, so the words and actions of Muhammad and his companions are accepted as a living commentary on what the Qur'an means and how it should be applied. They were gathered in six revered collections, the Sahib, meaning "sound," and are known collectively as the Hadith or Sunna, the customary practice of the Prophet. Methods of exegesis or interpretation emerged, particularly that of consensus in the community and the use of analogy, ijma and qiyas. Major traditions then developed that drew up law codes for life, known as Shari'a. There are four major schools of Shari'a, and most Muslims live their lives according to one of them. Divisions in Islam: After the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632, the Muslim community split. Those who thought that his successor or caliph should be the best qualified man chose Abu Bakr. They became the Sunni Muslims, those who follow the Sunna or custome of Muhammad. Others, the shi'at 'Ali, thought that his nearest relative, his cousin and son-in-law 'Ali, should succeed him, and they became the Shi'a Muslims. Not much separates the two groups in belief and practice, but Shi'as exalt their Imams, a succession of leaders, whom they regard as a line of inspired teachers. There have also been bitter political divisions. he Influence of Islam: Within 100 years Islam had swept over the known world, reaching from the Atlantic to the borders of China. It has remained a rapidly expanding religion, with about a quarter of the world's population being Muslims. They form nearly total majorities in countries in the Middle East, northern Africa, parts of central Asia and Indonesia. There are also substantial minorities in the West, in countries such as France, Germany, the UK, and the United States. There is also a substantial population in China. In its early centuries Islam led the world in the recovery of Greek science and philosophy - words starting with al-, "the," such as "algebra" and "alchemy," the beginning of modern chemistry, are a trace of this. In another reaction, some drew closer to God, seeking to know his immediate presense. These were the Sufis, a name probably deriving from suf, the rough wool cloak that they wore. This mystical Islam became widespread in the 12th century and has remained influential ever since.

Bulleh Shah (1680 – 1757) (Punjabi: بلہے شاہ, ਬੁੱਲ੍ਹੇ ਸ਼ਾਹ, Hindi: बुल्ले शाह), whose real name was Abdullah Shah,[1] was a Punjabi Sufi poet, a humanist and philosopher.
Background information Born 1680 Uch, Bahawalpur, Punjab (Pakistan) Died 1757 (aged 77) Kasur, Punjab, Pakistan Genres Ghazal, Khayal, Rubai Occupations Musician, Poet
Early life and background
Bulleh Shah is believed to have been born in 1680, in the small village of Uch, Bahawalpur, Punjab, now in Pakistan. When he was six months old, his parents relocated to Malakwal. There his father, Shah Muhammad Darwaish, was a preacher in the village mosque and a teacher. His father later got a job in Pandoke, about 50 miles southeast of Kasur. Bulleh Shah received his early schooling in Pandoke, and moved to Kasur for higher education. He also received education from Maulana Mohiyuddin. His spiritual teacher was the eminent Sufi saint, Shah Inayat Qadiri, from Arain tribe of Lahore Punjab. Little is known about Bulleh Shah's direct ancestors, except that they were migrants from Uzbekistan.However, Bulleh Shah's family was directly descended from the Prophet Muhammad.
Career A large amount of what is known about Bulleh Shah comes through legends, and is subjective; to the point that there isn’t even agreement among historians concerning his precise date and place of birth. Some "facts" about his life have been pieced together from his own writings. Other "facts" seem to have been passed down through oral traditions. Bulleh Shah practiced the Sufi tradition of Punjabi poetry established by poets like Shah Hussain (1538 – 1599), Sultan Bahu (1629 – 1691), and Shah Sharaf (1640 – 1724). Bulleh Shah lived in the same period as the Sindhi Sufi poet , Shah Abdul Latif Bhatai (1689 – 1752). His lifespan also overlapped with the Punjabi poet Waris Shah (1722 – 1798), of Heer Ranjha fame, and the Sindhi Sufi poet Abdul Wahab (1739 – 1829), better known by his pen-name, Sachal Sarmast (“truth seeking leader of the intoxicated ones”). Amongst Urdu poets, Bulleh Shah lived 400 miles away from Mir Taqi Mir (1723 – 1810) of Agra.
Poetry Style 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 Shah’s poetry and philosophy strongly criticizes Islamic religious orthodoxy of his day.
A Beacon of Peace Bulleh Shah's time was marked with communal strife between Muslims and Sikhs. But in that age Baba Bulleh 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 Bulleh Shah denounced the murder of an innocent Sikh and was censured by the mullas and muftis of Pandoke. Bulleh Shah maintained that violence was not the answer to violence. Bulleh Shah also hailed the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur as a Ghazi, or "religious warrior", which caused controversy among Muslims of that time.
Humanist Bulleh Shah’s writings represent him as a humanist, someone providing solutions to the sociological problems of the world around him as he lives through it, describing the turbulence his motherland of Punjab is passing through, while concurrently searching for God. His poetry highlights his mystical spiritual voyage through the four stages of Sufism: Shariat (Path), Tariqat (Observance), Haqiqat (Truth) and Marfat (Union). The simplicity with which Bulleh Shah has been able to address the complex fundamental issues of life and humanity is a large part of his appeal. Thus, many people have put his kafis to music, from humble street-singers to renowned Sufi singers like the Waddali Brothers, Abida Parveen and Pathanay Khan, from the synthesized techno qawwali remixes of UK-based Asian artists to the rock band Junoon. Bulleh Shah’s popularity stretches uniformly across Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims, to the point that much of the written material about this philosopher is from Hindu and Sikh authors.
Modern Renditions In the 1990s Junoon, a rock band from Pakistan, rendered such poems as Aleph (Ilmon Bas Kareen O Yaar) and Bullah Ki Jaana. In 2004, Rabbi Shergill performed the unlikely feat of turning the abstruse metaphysical poem Bullah Ki Jaana into a Rock/Fusion song, which became hugely popular in India and Pakistan. he Wadali Bandhu, a Punjabi Sufi group from India, also released a version of Bullah Ki Jaana on their album Aa Mil Yaar...Call of the Beloved. Another version was performed by Lakhwinder Wadali titled Bullah. Bulleh Shah's verses have also been adapted and used in Bollywood film songs. Examples include the songs "Chaiyya Chaiyya" and "Thayya Thayya" in the 1998 film Dil Se. The 2007 Pakistani movie Khuda Kay Liye includes Bulleh Shah's poetry in the song "Bandeya Ho". The 2008 film, A Wednesday, included a song titled "Bulle Shah, O Yaar Mere". In 2009, Episode One of Pakistan's Coke Studio Season 2 featured a collaboration between Sain Zahoor and Noori, "Aik Alif". In June 2010 Coke Studio 3 Episode One featured "Na Raindee Hai" performed by Arieb Azhar.
Death
He died in 1757, and his tomb is located in Kasur, Pakistan

Baba Buddha ji(1506 - 1631)
Baba Buddha ji was a most venerated primal figure of early Sikhism, was born on 6 October 1506 at the village of Katthu Nangal, 18 km northeast of Amritsar (31° 36'N, 74° - 50'E). Bura, as he was originally named, was the only son of Bhai Suggha, a Jatt of Randhava clan, and Mai Gauran, born into a Sandhu family.
As a small boy, he was one day grazing cattle outside the village when Guru Nanak happened to pass by. According to Bhai Mani Singh, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, Bura went up to him and, making obeisance with a bowl of milk as his offering, prayed to him in this manner: "O sustainer of the poor! I am fortunate to have had a sight of you today. Absolve me now from the circuit of birth and death." The Guru said, You are only a child yet. But you talk so wisely." "some soldiers set up camp by our village," replied Bura, "and they mowed down all our crops - ripe as well as unripe. Then it occurred to me that, when no one could check these indiscriminating soldiers, who would restrain Death from laying his hand upon us, young or old." At this Guru Nanak pronounced the words: "You are not a child; you possess the wisdom of an old man." From that day, Bura, came to be known as Bhai Buddha, buddha in Punjabi meaning an old man, and later, when advanced in years, as Baba Buddha.
Bhai Buddha became a devoted disciple. His marriage at the age of seventeen at Achal, 6 km south of Batala (31°- 49'N, 75°- 12'E), did not distract him from his chosen path and he spent more time at Kartarpur where Guru Nanak had taken up his abode than at Katthu Nangal. Such was the eminence he had attained in Sikh piety that, at the time of installation of Bhai Lahina as Guru Angad, i.e. Nanak II, Guru Nanak asked Bhai Buddha to apply the ceremonial tilak on his forehead. Bhai Buddha lived up to a ripe old age and had the unique honour of anointing all of the four following Gurus. He continued to serve the Gurus with complete dedication and remained an example of holy living for the growing body of disciples. He devoted himself zealously to tasks such as the digging of the baoli at Goindval under the instruction of Guru Amar Das and the excavation of the sacred tank at Amritsar under Guru Ram Das and Guru Arjan. The ben tree under which he used to sit supervising the excavation of the Amritsar pool still stands in the precincts of the Golden Temple. He subsequently retired to a bar or forest, where he tended the livestock of the Guru ka Langar. What is left of that forest is still known, after him, as Ber Baba Buddha Sahib.
Guru Arjan dev ji placed his young son, Hargobind, under Bhai Buddha's instruction and training. When the Adi Granth (Guru Granth Sahib) was installed in the Harimandar on 16 August 1604, Bhai Buddha was appointed granthi by Guru Arjan. He thus became the first high priest of the sacred shrine, now known as the Golden Temple. Following the martyrdom of Guru Arjan on 30 May 1606, Guru Hargobind raised opposite the Harimandar a platform called the Akal Takht, the Timeless Throne or the Throne of the Timeless, the construction of which was entrusted to Baba Buddha and Bhai Gurdas, no third person being allowed to take part in it. On this Takht Bhai Buddha performed, on 24 June 1606, the investiture ceremony at which Guru Hargobind put on two swords, one on each side, symbolizing miri and puri, sovereignty and spiritual eminence, respectively...
Baba Buddha passed his last days in meditation at Jhanda Ramdas, or simply called Ramdas, a village founded by his son, Bhai Bhana, where the family had since shifted from its native Katthu Nangal. As the end came, on 16 November 1631, Guru Hargobind was at his bedside. The Guru, as says the Gurbilas Chhevin Patshahi, gave his shoulder to the bier and performed the last rites Bhai Gurdas, further to quote the Gurbilas, started a reading of the Adi Granth in memory of the deceased. The obsequies concluded with Bhai Gurdas completing the recital and Guru Hargobind presenting a turban to Bhai Buddha's son, Bhana. Two shrines stand in Ramdas commemorating Baba Buddha, Gurdwara Tap Asthan Baba Buddha Ji, where the family lived on the southern edge of the village, and Gurdwara Samadhan, where he was cremated.
