The Legacy of Khawaja Ghulam Farid (1845–1901)
This documentary explores the life and sublime poetry of Khawaja Ghulam Farid, the iconic Sufi mystic from Chacharan Sharif, Cholistan, whose Saraiki Kafis form the foundation of spiritual literature in South Asia.
Core Philosophy: Farid's work is a profound expression of Ishq-e-Haqeeqi (True Love for the Divine). His verses articulate the painful separation (Hijr) from the Creator and the intense yearning for reunion. We delve into his belief in Wahdat al-Wujud (Unity of Existence), captured in his famous line. "Har Soorat Vich Dildar Ditham" (In every form, I see my Beloved).
A Life of Sacrifice: Born in Bahawalpur in 1845, Farid’s lineage traces back to Hazrat Umar Farooq. He dedicated his life to Sufism, becoming the Sajjada Nasheen (custodian) at 27. Despite immense wealth, his daily life was one of extreme simplicity, emphasizing charity (Langar) and adherence to Shariah. He famously advised the Nawab of Bahawalpur: "Be gentle, do not be harsh."
Literary Legacy: His masterpiece, Diwan-e-Farid (Saraiki), contains 271 Kafis. His poetry is a seamless blend of deep spiritual realization and vivid natural imagery, heavily influenced by the Cholistan desert (Rohi), which he uses as a metaphor for the soul's desolate separation from the Divine. His work transcends language, having been immortalized by legendary singers like Pathanay Khan and Abida Parveen.
Conclusion: Khawaja Ghulam Farid was not merely a poet of words (Sha'ir-e-Qaal), but a poet of spiritual state (Sha'ir-e-Haal). His vision popularized the Saraiki language globally and remains a timeless asset of world literature.
