Abstract

The research concerns an in-depth stylistic analysis of Bulleh Shah’s poem ’اک نقطے وِچ گل مُکدی اے‘ (It’s All in One Contained). Most of the work is done on translated versions but almost no work is done on poems in Punjabi Language. The method of the undertaken research is entirely qualitative and the sources of data are authentic i.e., books and dictionaries of both English and Punjabi language. Various linguistic levels are applied to the text of the poem, including phonological, lexico-morphological, syntactic, and semantic levels to identify the style of the poet and the meaning of the poem. Linguistic deviations are also considered in this research to cover the full aspect of foregrounding in stylistics. Poetic devices are explained according to their setting in each linguistic level and textual pieces of evidence are provided to assist the explained concepts. It is found that Punjabi Language and Bulleh Shah’s Poems are stylistically enriched, which is the reason he is one of the most celebrated Sufi poets. Also, contextual content is profound in these classical works which make the researchers to work on both style as well as pragmatism. It is strongly recommended that more work should be done on indigenous languages instead of translated versions.
