Kasur Tour Guide From Lahore:

We started our journey early morning ( on bike ) from Lahore by taking Ferozepur Road and after driving (almost 53 Km) for about an hour , we reached at Kasur main city . First of all we decided to go on Tomb of Bulleh Shah. Bulleh Shahwas a Mughal-era ( 1680-1757 ) Punjabi Islamic philosopher and Sufi poet . The hunt for his tomb involved a drive through bazaars, followed by a short walk while navigating the great Kasuri markets, the scent of fried fish and rubber tyres in the air.

Bulleh Shah Tomb:

Where everyone is blind
Where no one recognises our caste
And where no one believes in us

[/quote]

As we walked towards the domed structure, we feel an otherworldly sense of peace . Peeking through the latticed stone, a hint of green and red stares back. It is the double coverlets on Bulleh Shah’s grave, green signifying his ceaseless attachment to religion , and red a sign of undying strength. There is visible life in the enclosure and sense of peace .

we settled in the courtyard to listen kafis of Bulleh Shah being sung by the famous group of qawwals at the shrine . We sat there for a long while, listening to Bulleh Shah’s kalams.
