Literature Poetry and Drama in Punjab The lyrical e 韞 usions of those blessed men, incidentally, gave birth to a distinct stream of the poetry of this land, called Su 韺 Kavya-Dhara, which inherits a rich and long literary tradition. The content and form, scope and standard as well as the 韺 ow of masterly beauty of Farid Bani, which has come down to us through the grace of Guru Granth Sahib, is a proof of this 'Dhara' having been in vogue about seven centuries ago. It was developed by Shah Hussain during the sixteenth century and raised to its pinnacle by Bulleh Shah during the eighteenth century. Its downfall began after Hashim Shah during the second half of the nineteenth century. It was, however, kept 韺 owing by Maulvi Ghulam Rasul, Syed Miran Shah and Khwaja Ghulam Farid during the next few decades. Most of all major poets of Punjab have, more or less, been in 韺 uenced by it. Its in 韺 uence on the Non-Muslim mystic poets of the 韺 rst half of the twentieth century viz. Sant Rein, Sadhu Daya Singh, Paul Singh Arif, Man Singh Kalidas and Kishan Singh Arif is quite evident. Even the poets of the modern period, including Bhai Vir Singh (1872-1957), the father of modern Punjabi literature, have also imbibed its impact. Sheikh Farid-ud-din, (1173-1265) was the 韺 rst Su 韺 poet who sang of his insatiable hunger for the love of the Lord in works of immortal beauty. The ka 韺 s (lyrics) of Shah Husain (1538-1599), the popular romantic Su 韺 saint of Lahore added to Su 韺 poetry its peculiar element of masti (rapture) and introduced enraptured dancing and passionate signing. Hussain was also the 韺 rst Su 韺 poet of Punjabi who adopted the popular measure of Ka 韺 to express his mystic ideas. The credit of introducing the element of the popular love-legends of Punjab (Heer Ranjha and Sohni Mahiwal) to Su 韺 17

Verse and utilizing their persons, places, motifs and incidents as images, metaphors and allegories etc. also goes to him. Sultan Bahu (1629-1691), one of the greatest mystics of India, who belonged to district Jhang, adopted the verse-form of Shiar 韺 (arostic) for the expression of his sentiments, ending every line of his verse with a lyrical tone of exquisite charm, pronounced as hoo. It was he who, preferring 'Ishq' (love) not only to 'Aqal' (wisdom) but also to 'Iman (faith). Syed Bulleh Shah (1680-1758), was the most famous Su 韺 poet of Punjab. Bhullah's earlier verses expressed theological ideas of Islam. But when he turned a pantheist under the in 韺 uence of Vedant and Sikhism, he became so convinced of God's omnipresence and integrity of the universal soul that he began to experience and express that sort of cosmopolitan joy which knows no limits and divisions. Syed Ali Haider (1690-1785) of Multan, was the 韺 rst Su 韺 who poetized Heer Ranjha in the form of a Qissa (long narration), entitled Qissa Heer va Ranjha, and added thereby a new tributary to the stream of Punjabi Su 韺 poetry. Fard Faqir (1729-1790) who lived during the same time in Gujrat, also reproached the rulers of the day. But he did so, in verses as the following, for their ill treatment of laborers and workers belonging to various professions. His kasab nama broke a new ground by describing the process of wearing cloth for expressing his Su 韺 stic ideas and beliefs. Syed Hashim Shah (1735-1843), a highly learned, proli 韺 c and multilingual writer who 韺 ourished during the Sikh supremacy in Punjab and who has been mentioned in terms of esteem even by eminent Western scholars. 18

In Punjabi, he versi 韺 ed the popular love-tragedies of Punjab to describe and acclaim the 'Kamal Ishq' (perfect love) of their heroes and heroines (viz. Sassi & Punnu, Heer & Ranjha, Sohni & Mahiwal, Shirin & Farhad). Syed Mir Hussain of Dinjwan, (Gurdaspur) best conveys the allegorical interpretations of Sassi Punnu, in his version entitled (Bagh-e-Mohabbat, that is, the garden of love. He interpreted almost all the characters, motives, sites, and situations of the tale in metaphorical and metaphysical terms. The Su 韺 poets of Punjab, in the similar way, utilized only those poetical modes and verse-forms, for the expression of their emotions, experiences and yearnings which were quite popular and familiar to the people of the land. They composed Shloks, Dohe, Shabads, Ka 韺 s, Khayals, Baramahs, Athwaras and Sinar 韺 s, etc. Famous Punjabi Writers Shiv kumar batalvi :He is known for his romantic poetry. His poetry recitations, and singing his own verse, made him and his work very popular amongst the masses. He became the youngest recipient of the Sahitya Akademi award in 1967 for his epic verse play Loona.
