Signs, Structures and Language: A Critical Study of Selected Poems by Bulleh Shah

Abstract

The Greek tragedy has been endeavoring to explain the quibbles and philosophical niceties existing within the nexus between man and the universe. The study aims to explore Greek tragedy’s intricate philosophical underpinnings in connection with the mystic poetry of Bulley Shah, highlighting the ideology associated with divine submission and the role that language plays in comprehending the nuances of human existence. It characterizes subjective mystics experience/desires of communion with the fountainhead, leaving language bagging as differences and binaries start fizzling out. The study employs the Derridean philosophical standpoint as it rejoices in the absence of meaning. This theoretical stain is analyzed at length in his verses portraying binaristic construction of the discourse, foreclosing the possibility of liberation and entailing in oppression. The study reveals a shared human desire for unity with the divine, unravelling the complex relationship between humanity and the cosmos by transcending linguistic boundaries.
