The Poet: Sultan Bahu ساطان باہو (he used Bahu باہو as his takhallus) was born in c. 1628 near Shorkot شورکوٹ, Jhang جھنگ District, Punjab پنجاب , Pakistan (then India). He started his education from his mother, and then got his spiritual training from Shaikh Habibullah Qadiri. He uses a unique style for his Punjabi poetry. The verses are simply called (abyaat ابیات, plural of bayt which means a verse), each unit has four lines, and they are arranged according to the first letter of the first line. Each line ends with a hu ہو , which is from Arabic words ho and wa , meaning He is (i.e., Allah ). "Hu" is also used in Sufi chants, e.g. "Allah Hu". For himself he uses the takhallus Bahu باہو (meaning with Hu). His name was Sultan (meaning a king), but he used the name Faqir فقیر in his prose. He died in 1691. He is buried at Garh Maharajah گڑھ مہاراجہ in Shorkot tehsil, Jhang district. The Singer: Sain Akhtar Hussain سائیں اختر حسین خاموش تماشائی (KhamoshTamashai)
