Anaar Tray

The pomegranate has many associations. Fertility, life, family, harvest, but in this tray, it calls to the myth of Persephone eating the forbidden fruit on her way out of the underworld. Bulleh Shah takes the place of a forlorn Heer replacing her center of the universe, her direction of worship, her God to her lover. Her forbidden fruit. Her Ranjha.

Bulleh Shah says:

The pilgrims go to Mecca.

My Mecca is my lover Ranjha I am crazy indeed.

To Ranjha I am betrothed.

My father is severely distraught.

I am crazy indeed.

They go to Mecca to atone; I’ve many a Mecca in my home.

I am crazy indeed.

Here live pilgrims and priests Along with lumpens and thieves.

I am crazy indeed.

The pilgrims go to Mecca.

My Kaaba is Takht Hazara.

I am crazy indeed.

Mecca is there where lives my love, I’ve referred to the four books from above. I am crazy indeed.
