Belwo is answer to Faro:
That woman appearance was just to show love for his Master because one day Bulleh Shah saw a young girl whose husband was expected to come home, and in whose preparation she was putting plaits in her hair. A strange desire arose in his mind. He also dressed himself like that woman, put the same type of plaits in his hair, and went in this guise to meet his master. For the worldly people such an act would look ridiculous, but it shows not only the great love but also his unconcern with public opinion and his desire to sacrifice himself for his beloved. In the manners of true lovers he shed his masculine pride and assumed the form of helpless woman, who renounces her ego and surrenders herself completely to her Lord.

Bulleh no samjhawan aian behna tay bharjain
Man lay Bulliah sada kehna Chad day Pala Arian
All Nabi Olad Ali non ton kyon Leekan Layan
Jeera Sano Sayed Sday Dozakh Milay Saziain

It means a number of close relatives came to ask Bulleh Shah not to follow Peer Anayat Qadri who belongs to lower cast and you are Sayed and belong to higher cast, then Bulleh Shah replied them one who calls me Syed will go to hell.
Infect Sofia Ikram in Islam stress on equality and they think these are our acts which take us nearer to Allah not our status.

Echo Nadima’s comment. I love to see the familiar set-up.

As far as the entry goes, Bulleh Shah would not have appreciated being regarded as a “Muslim spiritual leader”. What is that brilliant line that goes that it would be a sin to associate Bullay Shah as a Syed.

Aal Nabi Ullad Ali Noun
To Kyoun Leekaan Layaan
“Jeyra Saanoun Syed Saday
Dozukh Milan Sazaiyaan”

Lastly translation being art of the impossible, a link to the original would be good to have to read the original and enjoy the kafi and then revert to the translation to take some maza out of it
