Rumi, a 13th-century Persian poet, wrote about the love between humans and God. He used simple ideas like love and longing to explain deep truths.

Bulleh Shah: The Voice of Equality
Bulleh Shah, a Punjabi poet from the 18th century, wrote about equality and breaking social rules. His famous poem “Bulleya ki jaana main kaun” (Bulleya, who am I?) talks about finding oneself and the connection to God. He believed that love and kindness mattered more than religious or social labels.
