Bulleh Shah and Punjab University

Re: Bulleh Shah and Punjab University

@Ali_Syed

If we read this kaafi:

masjid dha day

mandir dha day

dha day jo kuch dhenda

per kissi da dil na dhavin

Rab dillan which rehnda

It seems as if he is advocating bringing down mosques and temples. But if you see it from another angle, he is telling those who have the authority to break these places of worship to break what ever they want but not break the hearts of others. Haqooq ul ibad? The basic message of the sufis was love, humanity and equality. And this was the reason why many people converted to Islam during the past 1000 odd years in this region.

But many people only quote:

masjid dha day

mandir dha day

dha day jo kuch dhenda

Just to prove blasphemy of the poet. You won’t believe, some people also tag ’ Bullah ki jana main kon’ with blasphemy
