Different historians wrote that no one was ready to lead funeral prayer of Bulleh shah, it is irrelevant that bulleh shah would not have cared about that but that should not desireable situation for any muslim. furthermore, that means people were aware of that angle of peotry of Bulleh Shah.
Bulleh Shah is well known persoanality but his peotry is not as common among peope as peotry of Sultan Bahu and Waris Shah. I see people using saying-like peotry of Waris Shah in their daily life.
**Waris Shah! Aadtaan naee jaandian bhahwain Kattieay Porian Porian
Per Waris Shah! Aadtaan sirran nal jaandian nain.

Waris Shah! Jeh jayyan dhiyan Oh Jayyan Maeen**

Mian Mohammad Baksh’s poetry is also very common among people.

Ranjha Ranjha Kardi main aapi hi Ranjha hui is the line I heard more than these lines by Waris Shah, who is equally respected by masses. Sultan Bahoo’s Alif Allah Chanbe di booti is most famous, but we don’t find his other kalam popular amongst masses more than this. Above all, the philosophy of all these poets was reflective in all poets of era including Sachal Sarmast and Shah Lateef in Sindh.

Regarding no one ready to lead funeral and giving place to dead body of Bulleh Shah in city’s graveyard, I would say it was start of thinking which now we see in the shape of utter intolerance in our society. Hamare haan BaRi Boorhiyan kehti hain ‘Mari wanan waaran se kehRa lekha - There is no need to do accountability of dead ones’. In Bulleh Shah’s words ’ Arre Mulla Janaza paRh, main janoo mera khuda jane’.

No one knows those Mullah who denied Bulleh Shah’s burial in graveyard, but Bulleh Shah’s mazar is the centre of Qasoor and Bulleh Shah is the identity of city, besides Qasoori methi
