Bulle Shah was a Punjabi philosopher and poet, who is considered a humanist, giving solutions to socialogical problems of the world around him. His poetry has been put to music by well known musicians like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Abida Parveen, Wadali Brothers and Sain Zahoor.
Dama Dum Mast Qalandar and Mera Piya Ghar Aaya are two of the best known poems by Bulle Shah, and his verses have been adapted in Bollywood songs as well.
Rabbi Shergill's song Bulla ki Jaana was one of the most popular songs that used Bulleh Shah's name in the recent years. Since then, his name has been used in quite a few Bollywood songs as well, two of them called 'Bulleya,' one from the film Sultan and another from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
Bulleya is nothing but a way to call Bulleh Shah.
