@Aeronaut In north of punjab we usually hear Pir Mehar Ali shah and Mian Muhammad Baksh poetry.

Pir Mehar Ali shah poetry
It is reported that Pir Mehar Ali saw prophet Muhammad s.a.w in dream and after that he wrote this poetry.

Is sorat nu main jan aakhan, jan aakhan k jan e jahan aakhan
sach aakhan te rab di main shan aakhan,jis shan ton sahan sab banian

subhan Allah ma ajmalaka, ma ahsanaka , ma akmalaka
kithe mehar ali kithe teri sana,gustakh akhian kithe ja larian

Mian Muhammad Baksh poetry.
The famous saifal malook

and one of my favorite.
raqas e bismil (raqas= dance , mismil=rooster whose throat was cut)

Baba Bulleh Shah (a Sufi saint- poet from the Punjab part of
Pakistan) was coaxed by his relatives to leave his 'Mursheed'
or guru whom he called 'Raiyaan'
or 'Raaniya". His Guru, the famous saint Shah Inayat Qadri belonged to the 'Arain' or
'Raeen' caste, while Bulleh Shah belonged to the Syed caste (he
was a direct descendant of the
Prophet Muhammad). Bulleh Shah had to face the resentment and taunts of his family and other
'Syed' friends for accepting the spiritual guidance of a non-Syed. Bulleh Shah rejected his critics'
false concept of inherent superiority and nobility of any
caste through his poetry. He explains through this poem
that whoever calls him 'Syed' will
be punished in hell and who ever
calls him 'Raaniya' will be showered with blessings ...because for him his Guru is everything and he does not want to be differentiated from the common ummaties.

Bandeya Ho (lyrics and rough translation):

"Bulleh nu samjhawan aiyaan
bhena te bharjhaiyaan
Manlay Bulleya sada kehna chad
de palla raiyaan"
Bulleh Shah's sisters and sisters- in-laws came to convince him.
Bulleya, please do as we tell you and leave the Arain's (his guru’s)
company.
Aal nabi ullad Nabi nu tu kyun
leekaan laaiyaan
Jera sanu syed sadday dozakh
milan sazaiyaan
(Bulleh Shah replies):
Why do you separate the Prophet's and Ali's decendants from the common people (why
do you wedge a divide between
the two)?
The one who calls me ‘Syed’ should be punished with hell
Bandeya Ho Bandeya
Bandeya Ho
Bandeya Ho Bandeya
Bandeya Ho
Imploring mandkind...(Banda means man, while Bandeya refers to Mankind)
Raeen saain sabhan thaain rab
diyaan be parwaiyaan
Sohniyaan pare hataiyaan te
khoojiyaan lay gall laiyaan
Arain and masters are born at every place, God does not
discriminate against anyone. Beautiful people don't care for such differences, only the ugly ones do
Je tu loorain baag baharaan
chaakar hoo ja raiyaan
Bulleh Shah di zaat ki puchni
shukar ho razaiyaan
If you seek to the gardens of
heaven, become a servant to the ‘Arains’.
Why ask about the caste of Bulleh Shah? Instead be grateful in the God's will.

His poem sounds similar to themes to Brajbhasha poems of Northern India written by various Hindu and Muslim poets during those times.

and people mocked him by saying that Arain was inferior caste to Syeds.. Unfortunate thinking of somepeople!

Well Arain's are mostly zameendars, agriculturists. That's why others thinks them as inferior. me and @RazPaK are both arains

For me this is a code of life to live by. I also have a book by Hazrat Sultan Bahoo originally written around 1630.
