“Who am I?”
In all of Sufi poetry, no question cuts deeper than this one. Not because it has no answer — but because the answer dissolves the one who is asking.
Bullah Ki Jaana Main Kaun is the immortal kalam of Hazrat Bulleh Shah — the 18th-century Punjabi Sufi mystic whose words have crossed every border of religion, language, and time.
In this kalam, Bulleh Shah strips away every identity the world places on a person. He is not Muslim. Not Hindu. Not pure. Not impure. Not born of Adam and Eve. Not named in any scripture. Not from any city, any nation, any tradition. He is — beyond all of it.
This is the heart of Sufi wisdom: when the ego finally dissolves, what remains is not emptiness. It is the Divine itself.
Meaning of the Kalam
I am not a believer standing in the mosque. I am not lost in the rituals of disbelief. I am not among the pure. I am not among the impure. I am neither Moses nor Pharaoh. I am not found in the Vedas or the scriptures. I am not in intoxication or in sobriety. I am not among the wanderers or the settled. I am not in joy. I am not in sorrow. I am neither water, nor earth, nor fire, nor air. Bulleh — who am I? I do not know.
Original Kalam — Hazrat Bulleh Shah
ना मैं मोमन विच मसीतां, ना मैं विच कुफ़र दीआं रीतां
ना मैं पाकां विच पलीतां, ना मैं मूसा ना फरऔन
**बुल्ल्हा की जाणा मैं कौण**
ना मैं अन्दर बेद किताबां, ना विच भंगां ना शराबां
ना विच रिन्दां मसत खराबां, ना विच जागन ना विच सौण
**बुल्ल्हा की जाणा मैं कौण**
ना विच शादी ना ग़मनाकी, ना मैं विच पलीती पाकी
ना मैं आबी ना मैं ख़ाकी, ना मैं आतिश ना मैं पौण
**बुल्ल्हा की जाणा मैं कौण**
ना मैं अरबी ना लाहौरी, ना मैं हिन्दी शहर नगौरी
ना हिन्दू ना तुर्क पशौरी, ना मैं रहन्दा विच नदौण
**बुल्ल्हा की जाणा मैं कौण**
ना मैं भेत मज़हब दा पाइआ, ना मैं आदम हवा जाइआ
ना मैं आपना नाम धराइआ, ना विच बैठण ना विच भौण
**बुल्ल्हा की जाणा मैं कौण**
