Baba Farid Ganjshakar
Baba Fariduddin Masood Ganjshakar, jinhe aam taur pe Baba Farid ke naam se jaana jaata hai, 12vi sadi ke ant aur 13vi sadi ki shuruaat mein South Asia ke sabse mahaan Sufi santon mein se ek the. Unka naam aaj bhi Hindu, Muslim aur Sikh – teenon samudayon mein shraddha aur samman ke saath liya jaata hai.
Unki Dargah Pakistan ke Pakpattan Sharif mein sthit hai, jo aaj lakhon logon ki aastha ka kendra hai. Unke jeevan ki shikshaayein, Sufi Shayari aur aadhyatmik vichar aaj bhi utne hi prasangik hain jitne us samay the.
Janm aur Prarambhik Jeevan
Baba Farid ka janm 4 April 1188 ko Kothewal naamak gaon mein hua, jo vartaman mein Pakistan ke Punjab kshetra mein sthit hai. Unke pita ka naam Jamaluddin Suleman aur mata ka naam Qarsum Bibi tha. Unke purvaj Afghanistan ke Kabul se Bharat aaye the.
Bachpan se hi wo aadhyatmikta ki aur aakarshit the. Unki prarambhik shiksha Multan mein hui – jahan unhone Quran, Hadith aur Tasawwuf (Sufism) ka gehra adhyan kiya.
Aadhyatmikta Ki Aur Yatra
Baba Farid ko Sufi silsile “Chishti Tariqa” mein deeksha mili. Unke ustad Khwaja Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki the, jinhone unhe Delhi mein aadhyatmik margdarshan diya.
Ustad ki maut ke baad Baba Farid ne Hansi (Haryana) chhodkar apne gaon lautne ka nirnay liya aur Ajodhan (ab Pakpattan, Pakistan) mein bas gaye.
Wahin unhone logon ko mohabbat, imandari, seva aur sabr ka paath padhaaya. Unke pravachan aur jeevan-shaili mein saadgi aur karuna ki jhalak milti thi.
Baba Farid Ki Sufi Shayari
Baba Farid ko Punjabi bhasha ke pehle kavi ke roop mein bhi jaana jaata hai. Unki shayari mein aadhyatmikta, prem, dukh aur sachchai ki gehraai hai.
Unke kuch prasiddh sher: “Farida, jo tainu maaran mukiyan, tinhaan nu maaray ghoom”
“Kaale mere kapde, kaala mera vesh, gunaah bhareya main phiraan, lok kahen darvesh”
In sheron mein wo aatmgyan, samaj ki vidhambnaayein aur Prabhu-prem ko saral lekin prabhavit shabdon mein vyakt karte hain.
Pakpattan Ki Dargah
Baba Farid ki Dargah, jise “Pakpattan Sharif” kaha jaata hai, Sufi parampara ka ek mahatvapurn kendra hai. Yeh Dargah safed sangmarmar se bani hai, jisme Noori Darwaza aur Bahishti Darwaza jaise pavitra dwar hain.
Har din yahan langar (prasad) vitrit hota hai aur hazaaron log mannatien maangne aate hain. Mahilaayein aam taur pe andar pravesh nahi kar paati, lekin itihas mein kuch vishesh mahilayein, jaise Benazir Bhutto, ko anumati di gayi thi.
Baba Farid Aur Jerusalem
Kya aap jaante hain ki Baba Farid ne kuch saal Jerusalem mein bhi bitaye the? Wahan ek jagah hai jise Al-Hindi Serai ya Indian Hospice kaha jaata hai.
Maan jaata hai ki wo wahan dhyan aur safai ka kaam karte the. Aaj bhi Bharatiya Hajj pilgrims usi jagah thaharte hain jahan Baba Farid ne samay bitaya tha.
Nishkarsh
Baba Farid sirf Sufi sant nahi the — wo insaaniyat, mohabbat aur roohani gyaan ke prateek the. Unki shayari aur jeevan-shaili aaj bhi logon ko aadhyatmik disha deti hai.
Baba Farid Ki Sufi Shayari (Punjabi with Hindi Meaning)
“Galein chikkad door ghar, naal piyaare neeh
Challan taan bhijje kambli, rahaan taan toote neeh”
Hindi Arth:
Raasta keechar bhara hai aur mera priya (Prabhu) door rehta hai.
Agar main chalta hoon, to meri chaadar geeli ho jaati hai,
Aur agar main rukta hoon, to meri aatma (prem ki dor) toot jaati hai.
Bhavarth:
Yeh sher prem ki kasauti par chalne wale marg ki kathinaiyon ko darshata hai. Baba Farid bata rahe hain ki sacche prem (Ishwar) tak pahunchna aasan nahi, raasta kathin aur sangharshpoorv hai — lekin rukna bhi nahi hai.
