  • Lover Archetype in Punjabi Classical Poetry
    The ‘Lover’ Archetype in Punjabi Classical Poetry Azra Waqar∗ Abstract Archetypes are primitive mental images which we encounter in art, literature and sacred text and they evoke a deep feeling within us. The most important archetypes represent four dimensions of personality to four levels of awareness and functions with one archetype for each gender. Archetypes can help us better understand our own journey of life, increase communication between our conscious and unconscious and trigger a greater sense of meaning and fulfilment in life. Archetypes first appear in folklore, in characters and symbols as they are a part of our collective unconscious. In Punjabi classical poetry, Ranjha, the lover is the archetype who represents love. He is the main character in the poetry of Shah Hussain, Bulleh Shah and Waris Shah. The poetry of these three poets are discussed in the following article, representing Ranjha, (the lover), as an essential part of our lives. The lover feels something missing in the society or in his life and leaves home and becomes a traveller. The main theme of the poetry of these three classical Punjabi poets is the story of his journey and his encounter with different obstacles in the way of finding love and beauty. An archetype is a primitive mental image inherited from the earliest human ancestors, is supposed to be present in the collective ∗ Former, Senior Research Fellow, National Institute of Historical and Cultural Research, Centre of Excellence, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. 132 Pakistan Journal of History and Culture, Vol.XXX, No.1 (2009) unconscious and serves as an example of human behaviour by which we can better understand ourselves and those around us.

Srimad Bhagavatam, xi.v. The term „mysticism‟ has its origin in Neo – Platonism. It was derived from the Greek word mystikos which means „to initiate‟. This meant the initiation towards spiritual truth and experiences. In philosophy as stated by the “Catholic Encyclopaedia”, mysticism refers to the “desire of the human soul towards an intimate union with the Divinity.”1 Though it may sound ambiguous but mysticism brings a man closer to himself and takes him to those undiscovered realms which lie within himself. William James in his renowned book “The Varieties of Religious Experience” states: …our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different. We may go through life without suspecting their existence, but supply the requisite stimulus and at a touch they are there.

  • States of Affect: Trauma in Partition/Post-Partition South Asia
    STATES OF AFFECT: TRAUMA IN PARTITION/POST-PARTITION SOUTH ASIA By Rituparna Mitra A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of English – Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT STATES OF AFFECT: TRAUMA IN PARTITION/POST-PARTITION SOUTH ASIA By Rituparna Mitra The Partition of the Indian subcontinent – into India and Pakistan in 1947 – was one of the crucial moments marking the break between the colonial and postcolonial era. My project is invested in exploring the Partition not merely in terms of the events of August 1947, but as an ongoing process that continues to splinter political, cultural, emotional and sexual life-worlds in South Asia. My dissertation seeks to map analytical pathways to locate the Partition and the attendant formations of minoritization and sectarian violence as continuing, unfolding processes that constitute postcolonial nation-building. It examines the far-reaching presence of these formations in current configurations of politics, culture and subjectivity by mobilizing the interdisciplinary scope of affect-mediated Trauma and Memory Studies and Postcolonial Studies, in conjunction with literary analysis. My project draws on a wide range of cultural artifacts such as poetry, cantillatory performance, mourning rituals, testimonials, archaeological ruins, short stories and novels to develop a heuristic and affective re-organization of post-Partition South Asia. It seeks to illuminate through frameworks of memory, melancholia, trauma, affect and postcoloniality how the ongoing effects of the past shape the present, which in turn, offers us ways to reimagine the future. This dissertation reaches out to recent work developing a vernacular framework to analyze violence, trauma and loss in South Asia.

The argument that Sufi-inspired transpersonal experiences, practices and processes are widespread does not match the popular view of Pakistan as a major homeland of Islamic ‘fundamentalism’ and militancy. Neither does the argument match the views of all those Islamists who bind Sufism to the transcendent theism of tradition. In various ways and to varying degrees, the most illustrious of Sufi saints move away from tradition and the alterity of the Godhead. For this reason Sufi saints can serve as a powerful font of transpersonal humanism, a universal humanism of humanity which plays a critical role in holding the nation together.

  • Sufi Poetry Bulleh Shah
    Sufi poetry Bulleh Shah What is largely known about Bulleh Shah comes through legends, and is subjective, to the point that historians cannot even agree on the precise date and place of his birth. Some “facts” about his life have been pieced together from his own writings, while others have been passed down through oral traditions. Bulleh Shah’s real name was Syed Aliraza Shah Rizvi, he was a Punjabi Muslim Sufi poet, a humanist and philosopher from 1680-1757. He is believed to have been born in 1680, in the small village of Uch, Bahawalpur, Punjab, now in Pakistan, where his ancestors had migrated to from Bukhara in modern Uzbekistan. When he was six months old, his parents relocated to Malakwal, where his father, Shah Muhammad Darwaish, was a preacher in the village mosque and a teacher. His father later got a job in Pandoke, about 50 miles southeast of Kasur. Bulleh Shah received his early schooling in Pandoke, and moved to Kasur for higher education. He also received education from Maulana Mohiyuddin. His spiritual teacher was the eminent Sufi saint, Shah Inayat Qadiri. Bulleh Shah practiced the Sufi tradition of Punjabi poetry established by poets like Shah Hussain (1538–1599), Sultan Bahu (1629–1691), and Shah Sharaf (1640–1724). Bulleh Shah lived in the same period as the famous Sindhi Sufi poet Shah Abdul Latif Bhatai (1689–1752). His lifespan also overlapped with the legendary Punjabi poet Waris Shah (1722–1798) of Heer Ranjha fame, and the famous Sindhi Sufi poet Abdul Wahad (1739 – 1829), better known by his pen-name, Sachal Sarmast (“truth seeking leader of the intoxicated ones”).

  • Waris Shah - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Waris Shah - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Waris Shah(1722 – 1798) Waris Shah (Punjabi: ???? ???, ????? ????) was a Punjabi Sufi poet, renowned for his contribution to Punjabi literature. He is best known for his seminal work Heer Ranjha, based on the traditional folk tale of Heer and her lover Ranjha. Heer is considered one of the quintessential works of classical Punjabi literature. The story of Heer was also told by several other writers—including notable versions by Damodar Das, Mukbal, and Ahmed Gujjar—but Waris Shah's version is by far the most popular today. <b>Background</b> Waris Shah was born in Jandiala Sher Khan, Punjab, Pakistan into a reputed Syed family who claimed descent from prophet Muhammad. His father's name was Gulshar Shah. Waris Shah acknowledged himself as a disciple of Pir Makhdum of Kasur. Waris Shah's parents are said to have died when he was young, and he probably received his education at the shrine of his preceptor. After completing his education in Kasur, he moved to Malka Hans, a village twelve kilometers north of Pakpattan. Here he resided in a small room, adjacent to a historic masjid, now called Masjid Waris Shah. His mausoleum is a place of pilgrimage today, especially for those in love. <b>Shakespeare of Punjabi Language</b> Waris Shah is also called <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/william- shakespeare/">Shakespeare</a> of the Punjabi language because of his great poetic love story, Heer Ranjha. Some critics say that through this story of romantic love, he tried to portray the love of man for God (the quintessential subject of Sufi literature).

  • Analyzing Mysticism in Bulleh Shah's Works
    © 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Analyzing Mysticism in Bulleh Shah’s Works Dr. Mehak Jonjua Assistant Professor Amity University Abstract: Bulleh Shah is considered as one of the celebrated Sufi Punjabi versifier whose work has drawn inspiration from savagery and also the idealism derived from his guru, Hazrat Inayat Shah Qadri. Bulleh Shah raised rebellion against all types of spiritual, academic, and communal conservativeness, bigotry and sectarianism. He regarded all individuals like a family as all are created by the One- The Creator. He opposed any disunion and discernment between persons. Traditionalists tried to make dispute concerning his common opinions by depicting his verses as against spiritual rites. He lived his life in the blustery eras of dogmatic changeover from Mughals to Sikhs. Punjab was in radical as well as communal disorder at that time. The portrayal of these societal complications is moderately obvious in the poetry of Bulleh Shah. He was well conversant in Arabic and Persian. Keywords: Sufi, mysticism, guru, kafi Introduction: Sufism or tasawwuf accentuates contemplation and mystical nearness with God by refuting the materialistic and worldly things and seeking divine learning or the tariqa. Sufis mainly deliberated about societal stratification and frazzled the perception of equivalence among masses and the only distinctive thing amongst them was their eventual association with spirituality. Challenging ashrafya or dominant leaders on their unmerited insolence and oppressions, contrary to which they fashioned their own creation in the form of khanqahs where there was no exclusion of access for any race, religion, age etc.

  • Heer-Ranjha: a Folk Tale from Pakistan Translated by Muhammad Sheeraz
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies Vol. 5, No. 2 (2013) Heer-Ranjha: A Folk Tale from Pakistan Translated by Muhammad Sheeraz About Heer-Ranjha: For centuries, the Chenab River has been flowing through the soils of the Punjab, the land of five rivers, and its fast and furious waves have told tales of love and romance. Heer-Ranjha is one of the tales told in unison by the waters of the Chenab. The eternal season of love arrived in the Indian subcontinent a few years before the arrival of the Mughals in India in the early 16th century. Some of the tale-tellers assert that it belongs to Behlol Lodhi’s era during the second half of the 15th century, but whichever era it belongs to, the timeless tale of Heer-Ranjha is told and heard with the same keenness today. This romance happened in the city of Jhang situated near the River Chenab. It is said that the river flowed nearer to the city in the past than where it is today. The celebrated legend of Heer-Ranjha remained a part of the glorious oral literature of the Punjab. It was immortally recounted in Punjabi, popularly as Heer Waris Shah1 by Sufi poet Waris Shah (1722-1798). Waris Shah’s poetic version of the tale was translated into English by Charles Frederick Usborne (1874 – 1919) as Waris Shah: The Adventures of Hir and Ranjha2. The folk tale has also been made into several memorable Pakistani and Indian films in the Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi languages, with different titles such as Heer, Heer Ranjha and Heer Sial, etc.

All the texts under consideration date from before the third quarter of the eighteenth century and, therefore, both predate and inform the classical qissa tradition of the nineteenth century. The texts narrate three of the most commonly represented love stories in pre­ twentieth century Punjab, two of them versions of local folk legends and one an episode from the Quran. A total of six texts are considered in the thesis: Hafiz Barkhurdar's Mirza Sahiba, Siddlq Tail's Yusuf Zulatkha, and the versions of HTr by Ahmad, Muqbil and Varis Shah.
