In the search for Self

Baba Bulleh Shah's "O Bulleha Ki Jaana Maen Kaun" if among the most popular of his Kaafis.

Many of us wonder where we have come from and where we are heading, but Baba Bulleh Shah says "Who is this 'I' wandering this earth?". He does not belong to any group or sect. He belongs to neither one country nor another. He is but the soul free of limits and nothing else. He finally sees and believes in the Oneness of God - "Wehdaaniat".



Neither I am happy nor sad
Nor am I in the (argument of) Purity and Impurity
Neither I am of water nor of earth
Nor am I fire nor air
Bulleha, what do I know who I am?.............
