Sayyid Abdullah Shah Qadri[a] (Punjabi pronunciation: [səiəd əbdʊllaːɦ ʃaːɦ qaːdɾiː]; 1680–1757), known popularly as Baba Bulleh Shah[b] and Bulleya, was a 17th and 18th-century Punjabi revolutionary philosopher, reformer and a Chishti Sufi poet, universally regarded as the "Father of Punjabi Enlightenment". He spoke against powerful religious, political and social institutions.[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]
