You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Faqir Qadir Bux Bedil''' (((lang-sd|فقير قادر بخش بيدل))&lrm;) (1814–1873) better known by his [[pen name]] '''Bedil''' (one bereft of heart)((citation needed|date=November 2015)) was a [[Sufi]] poet and scholar of great stature. After [[Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai]] and [[Sachal Sarmast]], two stars that shone on the firmament of Sindhi poetry and who could measure up to them in excellence were the father and son – Bedil and [[Muhammad Mohsin Bekas|Bekas]]. They wrote poetry in [[Saraiki language|Saraiki]]<ref>((Cite book |last=Rasoolpuri |first=Muhammad Aslam |title=Muntakhab Kalam Bedil Sindhi |publisher=Bazm e Saqafat 4 Maai Meharban Mohallah Chowk Fuwarah, Multan |year=August 1978))</ref><ref>((Cite book |last=Nasir |first=Nasarullah Khan |title=Saraiki Shairi Da Irtiqa |publisher=Bahauddin Zakariyya University, Multan |year=15 June 1988 |pages=424–493))</ref> Sindhi and Persian.

==Early life==
Bedil was born to a very pious family of [[Rohri]].((citation needed|date=November 2015)) His father Khalifa Muhammad Mohsun was a disciple of Sayed [[Mir Janullah Shah]] Rizwi who was a great saint of his time, highly venerated and was chief of forty cardinals of [[Sufi Shah Inayat Shaheed]] of [[Jhok]] Shareef. Thus Bedil was brought up in such an enlightened environment under the guidance of Mir Sahib.((citation needed|date=November 2015))

It is narrated in the book ''Diwan-e-Bedil'' by Abdul Hussain Musavi that the midwife came and announced the news of the birth of a child to father who was sitting in the gathering with Sufi Januallah Shah. She said, "You have been blessed with a child but alas, his one foot is physically twisted." Upon hearing this father said," He is not physically handicapped by one foot. In fact, he is the flag of Rohri city." His father's statement proved true many years later.<ref>Musavi.A.H. (1954).Diwan-e-Bedil. Sindh Adabi Board Jamshoro,Sindh.</ref> On his birth, he was named Abdul Qadir but he preferred to be called Qadir Bux.

He was a staunch Muslim who molded his life strictly according to [[Shariah]] law. He was very simple and frugal in his lifestyle and gave away whatever he received to the needy. He followed the path of Ishq-e-Majazi (platonic love) to attain the heights of Ishq-e-Haqiqi (spiritual love) as dictated by Mystic doctrine. He was a devotee of [[Lal Shahbaz Qalandar]] of Sehwan. Although he had a deformity in one foot, yet he undertook long journeys to Sehwan to pay homage to the Saint's Shrine. He went to Jhok Sharif to pay homage to shrine of Sufi Shah Inayat Shaheed and to [[Daraza]], to visit the shrine of [[Sachal Sarmast]].((citation needed|date=November 2015))

==Works==

Bedil was the most voluminous poet of Sindh, even more so than Shah Latif, with 10 books of poetry to his credit. Most of his poems were written in Persian, Seraiki, Sindhi, Arabic, and Urdu,.((citation needed|date=November 2015)) His famous Sindhi works were ''Wahdat Namo'' (''Book of Union'') and ''Surood Namo'' (''Book of Melody''). He compiled as many as 23 books on prose and poetry written in [[Persian Language|Persian]], [[Sindhi language|Sindhi]], Saraiki,<ref>Aslam Rasoolpuri, Bedil Sindhi, Bazm e Saqafat Publishers,p.40</ref> and [[Urdu language|Urdu]]: the more known being:

Scholar [[Nabi Bux Khan Baloch]] has termed Fakir Qadir Bux Bedil as the last Sufi saint who wrote on Tasawuf and history of Sindh and taught [[mysticism]] through his poetry. ''Wahadat Namo'' is a thought-provoking work through which Bedil Fakir has presented the essence of Sufism (mysticism). Bedil was the first scholar who wrote the history of Jhok Sharif and the sacrifice of Sufi Shah Inayat Shaheed of Sindh.<ref>[http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-18383737_ITM Dr.Nabi Bux Boloch address on 136th Annual URS]</ref>

==Poetry==
Among his poetic compositions, we have his famous elegy, written on the death of Sachal Sarmast immortalising the master and incidentally himself too. Some of the verses from this elegy are:

((quote|Wonderful was the magic of love in Daraza, my friend Sachu was there, the intoxicated seeker and the Gnostic. Heavy was the shower of rain, of the yearning of that hero. The pangs of separation were there, visible and invisible. Inherited he was, truly, with the rapture of oneness. Verily he was another [[Mansur Al-Hallaj|Mansur]], love itself incarnate. He was [[Farid al-Din Attar|Attar]] ''the perfumer'' himself in fervour and sentiment. Commander, he stood in the ranks of those given to love. Bedil haunts the door of the donor for the gift of his ardour. About himself he proclaims in the mood and style of Sachal; "I am what I am. Put on the various garments, and again divert myself of them."))

=== Translation of some verses ===

The one whom you seek after,
<br />
Is none but your own self.
<br />
If you recognise yourself,
<br />
Then none other exists.
<br />
This and that are same,
<br />
Just like voice, sound and echo.
[[File:Sufi Singers.JPG|thumb|Sufi Singers singing mystical poetry of Hazrat Bedil]]
Bedil! let it not slip from thy hands,
<br />
The trade of unitive state,
<br />
O' traveler of Sufi path! this thought is profitable.<ref>Musavi,A.H. (1991). ''Diwan-e-Bedil''. Sindh Adabi Board, Jamshoro,Sindh.</ref>
O Bedil leave good and evil,
<br />
Go and seek divine love.
<br />
Divine love came; reasoning taken away, loads of miseries befell on me,
<br />
Heard of pain and separation, likewise agony came in my chest,
<br />
Bedil sans love, living in this world is meaningless.
[[File:Faqirs of Bedil paying homage.JPG|thumb|Faqirs of Bedil paying homage on Urs mubarak]]
Except Him, whatever (I) understood, 
<br />
O Bedil! love made me forget.
<br />
Die before you die,
<br />
Then you, O Brave, turn into real Muslim.
<br />
Your love is treasure,
<br />
Every breath is a special jewel,
<br />
Believe it O brave man,
<br />
Make the trade of unity,
<br />
Achieve the status of self-annihilation,
<br />
Eat the fruits of eternity,
<br />
With your eyes shall behold every moment,
<br />
The exhibition of celestial light.

While standing, sitting, talking or listening,
<br />
Keep this remembrance in your body,
<br />
Clean the mirror with this (mirror-cleaning) solution.<ref>Musavi.A.H.(1991). Diwan-e-Bedil. Sindh Adabi Board, Jamshoro, Sindh.</ref>

==Urs==
[[File:Mehndi Sharif.JPG|thumb|Urs starts by taking out mehndi (henna) to pay homage to Hazrat Qadir Bux Bedil]]
His annual Melo or [[Urs]] (death anniversary celebration) is held at his shrine (Dargah) in Rohri on the 14, 15, 16 [[Dhu al-Qi'dah]] – the eleventh month of the [[Muslim calendar]] where thousands of his Murids (disciples) throng to pay homage to the great saint-poet.<ref>Dargahi.Akhtar.
