Sir, greetings from Pakistan. Bulleh Shah or Bulleya is the name given to this revolutionary philosopher, reformist and spiritual poet of the 17th / 18th century. He has a great following here in Pakistan and his works have been used by majority of musicians. He is buried here in Pakistan and people throng to his tomb in large numbers also to pay homage. His lyrics are always thought provoking. Sir, the enjoyment in watching your coke studio reactions is always at another unmatched level. I love it. Beautifully done with use of very relevant words and comments. Best wishes for the channel. With warm regards
This piece of poetry is rather famous.. it's been sung by loads of singers... traditional/classically in this manner.. more pop and modern renditions are also out there.. but in the end.. it's Bulleh Shah's poetry that begs you think and look inwards.. explore 'Khudi' or the search for oneself as you mentioned.. took my time to come back and watch this cause I just love this CS cover and have much respect for the mastery of Ustad Riaz Ali Khan!
