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 lived in the same period as the famous Sindhi Sufi poet, Shah Abdul Latif Bhatai (1689-1752). His
lifespan also overlapped with the legendary Punjabi poet Waris Shah, of Heer Ranjha fame, and the famous
Sindhi Sufi poet Abdul Wahad, better known by his pen-name, Sachal Sarmast ("truth seeking leader of the
intoxicated ones").
The verse form Bulleh Shah primarily employed is called the Kafi (Refrain), a traditional style of Punjabi poetry
used by Punjabi Sufis and Sikh gurus (such as Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh). In Bulleh's time, Sufi poets
often did not adopt the classical languages of Persian and Urdu, instead choosing to write their Saraiki, and Sindhi - languages of the common folk amongst whom they lived.
What is most striking about Bulleh Shah's poetry and philosophy is his audacious, almost egotistical critique of
the religious orthodoxy of his day, particularly the Islamic religious orthodoxy. His poetry is filled with direct
attacks on those who claim control over religion, to the point of comparing mullahs to barking dogs and crowing
roosters.
