Fariduddin Ganjshakar

Khwaja Fariduddin Masud Ganjshakar (Farīduddīn Masūd Ganjshakar), popularly known as Baba Farid and Sheikh Farid (1173–1266; also spelled Fareed, Fareeduddin Masood, Ganj-e-Shakar, etc.), was a Sufi saint and a Muslim missionary from the Chishti order, living in Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent.

Life

Fariduddin Masud was born in 1179 or 1188 AD (584 Hijri) at village Kothewal, 10 km from Multan in the Punjab region of what is now Pakistan, to Jamāl-ud-dīn Suleimān and Maryam Bībī (Qarsum Bībī), daughter of Sheikh Wajīh-ud-dīn Khojendī. He was one of the founding fathers of the Chishti Sufi order.

Farid's lineage is traced back to the second Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab. Though he is the grandson of Ibrahim ibn Adham, Baba Farid received his early education at Multan, which had become a centre for Muslim education; it was there that he met his Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki, a noted Sufi saint, who was passing through Multan on his way from Baghdad to Delhi. Upon completing his education, Farīd left for Sistan and Kandahar and went to Makkah for the Hajj pilgrimage with his parents at the age of 16.

Bulleh Shah

Bulleh Shah, sometimes Bulla(h) Shah (1680–1757) (Punjabi: بلھے شاہ (Shahmukhi); ਬੁੱਲ੍ਹੇ ਸ਼ਾਹ (Gurumukhi)) was a Punjabi Sufi poet,humanist and philosopher. His full name was Syed Abdullah Shah Qadri. His first spiritual teacher was Hazrat Shah Inayat Qadri, a sufi murshid of Lahore. Bulleh Shah gathered spiritual treasures under the guidance of his murshid and was known for the karamat(miracle like powers) he had.

Poetry

Bulleh Shah lived after the Pashto Sufi poet Rahman Baba (1653-1711) and lived in the same period as Sindhi Sufi poet Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai (1689–1752). His lifespan also overlapped with the Punjabi poet Waris Shah (1722–1798), of Heer Ranjha fame, and the Sindhi Sufi poet Abdul Wahab (1739–1829), better known by his pen name Sachal Sarmast. Amongst Urdu poets, Bulleh Shah lived 400 miles away from Mir Taqi Mir (1723–1810) of Agra.

Bulleh Shah practised the Sufi tradition of Punjabi poetry established by poets like Shah Hussain (1538–1599), Sultan Bahu (1629–1691), and Shah Sharaf (1640–1724).
