Introducation

Punjabi is the language of millions of people of Punjab and a means of communication through which they perform and execute the business of their daily life. For centuries Punjabi has been a medium of expression of the saints and other great poets of this region. Therefore the structure of the Punjabi classical poetry is erected on the foundations of mysticism and high moral values. The great mystics like Baba FareedGunjShakkar, Shah Hussain, Sultan Bahoo, Syed Bulhey Shah, Ali Haider, Syed Hashmin Shah, Syed Waris Shah, MaulviGhulamRasool, Mian Muhammad Bukhsh and KhwajaGhulamFareedpresentd their striking ideas in Punjabi poetic form for the worldly as well as the religious guidance of the people. Punjabi language does not only reflect the realities and attitudes of life but is also a great source of social, cultural and historical identity.
