His poetry highlights his mystical spiritual voyage through the four stages of Sufism: Shariat (Path), Tariqat (Observance), Haqiqat (Truth) and Marfat (Union). Bulleh Shah maintained that violence was not the answer to violence.īulleh Shah also hailed Guru Tegh Bahadur as a ghazi (Islamic term for a religious warrior).īulleh Shahs writings represent him as a humanist, someone providing solutions to the sociological problems of the world around him as he lives through it, describing the turbulence his motherland of Punjab is passing through, while concurrently searching for God. Baba Bulleh Shah denounced the murder of an innocent Sikh and was censured by the mullas and muftis of Pandoke. While Bulleh Shah was in Pandoke, Muslims killed a young Sikh man who was riding through their village in retaliation for murder of some Muslims by Sikhs. But in that age Baba Bulleh Shah was a beacon of hope and peace for the citizens of Punjab. This version also features Bilal Mahesar.Bulleh Shah (1680 1757) (Punjabi: Shahmukhi:بلہے شاہ, Gurmukhi: ਬੁੱਲ੍ਹੇ ਸ਼ਾਹ}}), whose real name was Abdullah Shah, was a Punjabi Muslim Sufi poet, a humanist and philosopher.īulleh Shah's time was marked with communal strife between Muslims and Sikhs. There’s also a tribute to Allan Faqeer on YouTube in which they’ve covered the late artist’s famous song, Humma Humma, which formed part of the fusion Allah Allah Kar Bhayya. Wahid is reportedly so ‘inspired’ by the late legend that both he and his son have not only taken to dressing up exactly like him, but also have also taken his musical style and even his name. Allan Faqeer has only one son who’s also launched himself into music, Faheem Allan Faqeer. It must be noted here that Wahid Allan Faqeer is not related to Allan Faqeer. He’s featured Sajid Ali, Bilal Mahesar and Wahid Allan Faqeer in the song as well. I’d say that at least with Rim Jhim he’s done a pretty good job so far. The description on his channel reads ‘Resketching sufi music and folk with EDM ’. It seems like Muhammad Masood wants to make Sufi music trendy again. This version of Rim Jhim has been composed, produced, performed and directed by Muhammad Masood. Moves, that are somewhat replicated in the newer Rim Jhim that came out earlier this year. He also does some of his signature moves. Other than the fact that Allan Faqeer’s vocals hit you right in the feels, his joy in the song is contagious. The vocals and the percussions are very clear. Second, the quality of the recording is very good for a live show at the Urs of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, which is attended by people from around the country. I’ve grown up watching him with Muhammad Ali Shyhaki in PTV’s Allah Allah Kar Bhayya video that came out as a part of the Rang Tarang programme in 1986 (although I saw it in the ’90s). Muhammad Masood’s Rim Jhim is a joyous tribute to the folk music legend that sang the song first - Allan Faqeerįirst, just how young Allan Faqeer looks. There’s a video available on YouTube on the ‘Sindh Culture Government of Sindh’ channel which shows the late singer performing the song at the Urs of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai in 1983.

Rim Jhim Barsay Badal was first sung by the late legendary singer from Jamshoro, Allan Faqeer. And why not? A music legend from that city had sung the original version. Needless to say, the song was quite popular locally. It had the effect of everyone dancing to it.Ī few weeks later, I heard it playing, pretty much on repeat, at a fancy chai dhabba in Jamshoro. The group that had produced the song and directed the video requested that it be played during the festival. I first heard it this past January at the Lahooti Melo, an annual music festival held in Jamshoro-Hyderabad that brought together indigenous musicians from across the country, along with a few more mainstream pop and rock acts.
