Literature Poetry and Drama in Punjab

The of those blessed men, incidentally, gave birth to a distinct stream of the poetry of this
land, called Sufi Kavya-Dhara, which inherits a rich and long literary tradition. The content
and form, scope and standard as well as the beauty of Farid Bani, which has come down to us
through the grace of Guru Granth Sahib, is a proof of this 'Dhara' having been in vogue about
seven centuries ago.
It was developed by Shah Hussain during the sixteenth century and raised to its pinnacle by
Bulleh Shah during the eighteenth century. Its downfall began after Hashim Shah during the
second half of the nineteenth century. It was, however, kept by Maulvi Ghulam Rasul, Syed
Miran Shah and Khwaja Ghulam Farid during the next few decades.
. Even the poets of the modern period, including Bhai Vir Singh (1872-1957), the father of
modern Punjabi literature, have also imbibed its impact.
Sheikh Farid-ud-din, (1173-1265) was the first Sufi poet who sang of his insatiable
hunger for the love of the Lord in works of immortal beauty.
The kavis (lyrics) of Shah Husain (1538-1599), the popular romantic Sufi
saint of Lahore added to Sufi poetry its peculiar element of masti (rapture) and introduced
enraptured dancing and passionate signing. Hussain was also the first Sufi poet of Punjabi
who adopted the popular measure of Kavi to express his mystic ideas. The credit of
introducing the element of the popular love-legends of Punjab (Heer Ranjha and Sohni
Mahiwal) to Sufi.
Verse and utilizing their persons, places, motifs and incidents as images, metaphors and
allegories etc. also goes to him.
Sultan Bahu (1629-1691), one of the greatest mystics of India, who belonged to district
Jhang, adopted the verse-form of Shiar (arostic) for the expression of his sentiments, ending
every line of his verse with a lyrical tone of exquisite charm, pronounced as hoo. It was he
who, preferring 'Ishq' (love) not only to 'Aqal' (wisdom) but also to 'Iman (faith).
Syed Ali Haider (1690-1785) of Multan, was the first Sufi who poetized Heer Ranjha
in the form of a Qissa (long narration), entitled Qissa Heer va Ranjha, and added thereby a
new tributary to the stream of Punjabi Sufi poetry.

Syed Bulleh Shah (1680-1758), was the most famous Sufi poet of Punjab. Bhullah's
earlier verses expressed theological ideas of Islam. But when he turned a pantheist under the in
fruence of Vedant and Sikhism, he became so convinced of God's omnipresence and integrity of
the universal soul that he began to experience and express that sort of cosmopolitan joy which
knows no limits and divisions.
Fard Faqir (1729-1790) who lived during the same time in Gujrat, also reproached the
rulers of the day. But he did so, in verses as the following, for their ill treatment of laborers and
workers belonging to various professions. His kasab nama broke a new ground by describing the
process of wearing cloth for expressing his Sufi stic ideas and beliefs.
Syed Hashim Shah (1735-1843), a highly learned, prolic and multilingual writer who
ourished during the Sikh supremacy in Punjab and who has been mentioned in terms of esteem
even by eminent Western scholars.
In Punjabi, he versied the popular love-tragedies of Punjab to describe and acclaim the 'Kamal
Ishq' (perfect love) of their heroes and heroines (viz. Sassi & Punnu, Heer & Ranjha, Sohni &
Mahiwal, Shirin & Farhad).
Syed Mir Hussain of Dinjwan, (Gurdaspur) best conveys the allegorical
interpretations of Sassi Punnu, in his version entitled (Bagh-e-Mohabbat, that is, the garden of
love. He interpreted almost all the characters, motives, sites, and situations of the tale in
metaphorical and metaphysical terms.
The Sufi poets of Punjab, in the similar way, utilized only those poetical modes and verse-
forms, for the expression of their emotions, experiences and yearnings which were quite popular
and familiar to the people of the land. They composed Shloks, Dohe, Shabads, Kavis, Khayals,
Baramahs, Athwaras, etc.
