Bulleh Shah’s admission
6 January 2010
Bulleh-a aashiq hoyiyon Rabb da,
Hoai Malamat Lakh Tenon Kafir Kafir aakhdey,
toon aaho aaho aakh
(Bulleh Shah)
Bulleh lover of G-d, a million blames occur
Your title is apostate, answer yes, yes, so it is.
(translation by JH)
Those who look for wisdom in every utterance of Bulleh Shah should pause and reflect a bit. Take this particular piece of the celebrated sage’s poetry that Raza has put up at his website. What exactly is Bulleh Shah saying, if anything?
Well, I love God and there are plenty of misguided people whose reaction to what I say is often an incoherent cry of “kafir”. Should I say to them “yes, yes, OK I am kafir”? Doesn’t make sense to me, sorry. Unthinking veneration accorded to Bulleh Shah is not worthy of a true human being.
As for the mullahs and their fanatical adherents, they would be only too pleased to issue a “kafir fatva” on the grounds of anyone questioning their dogmatic beliefs. Examples:

you are what you are saqib ahmed sahib,it wouldnt change by your acceptance or nagation, neither would it change if anyone else forms any opinion about you,haqiqat would have no good or adverse effects on it.
