Sayyid Abdullāh Shāh Qādrī[a] (Punjabi: [sə'jəd əbdʊ'laːɦ ʃaːɦ qaːdɾiː]; c. 1680–1757), known popularly as Baba Bulleh Shah[b] and Bulleya,[c] was a Punjabi revolutionary philosopher, reformer and a Sufi poet of the 17th and 18th centuries, universally regarded as the 'Father of Punjabi Enlightenment'. He criticised powerful religious, political, and social institutions; and is revered as the 'Poet of the People' amongst Punjabis.[1][2]
He lived and was buried in Kasur (present-day Punjab, Pakistan).[3] He is regarded as the "Poet of the People,"[4] and the "Sheikh of Both Worlds" in the Punjab region.[5] His poetry marked a new era in Punjabi literature and spread a wave of reformist ideas throughout the Punjab, which included social, religious and political reforms. His poetry has been sung at many important events, including one organized by UNESCO.[5]
