All Things Pakistan has a post on Baba Bulleh Shah, and the rediscovery of Sufi poetry through contemporary singers and bands. An interesting discussion in the comments-space as well.
If others also paid Bulleh Shah more attention, they might find that in terms of his themes Bulleh Shah may be the most contemporary poet in South Asia today. Try looking at ‘Bass kar ji’ (Enough is enough) or ‘Moun aayee baat na rehndi hai’ (I must utter what comes to my lips) and you will find them resonating with your most contemporary political and social preoccupations.
