PCK (Photo Club of Karachi) is a nonprofit group aiming to promote talented Pakistanis. The club has been running virtually for nearly two years now and in that time the members have discovered masters in the field of photography. In the long run the club plans to broaden their scope and outreach and for that very purpose they have now started exhibiting their work since last year, just so they can spread awareness of this art form. Here is a sneak preview of the group’s second exhibition at the KSA (Karachi School of Arts) gallery, which opened on June 4 and will run until June 6, 2010.

Bulleh Shah’s Poetry
I am not in the mosque of the believer,
Nor in false rites.
I am not in the pure or the impure.
Neither Moses nor Pharaoh.
who knows who I am!
I am not in the vedas or holy books,
Not in drug or wine.
Not in the drunkards wasted intoxication,
Not in wakefulness or sleep.
who knows who I am!
I am not in sorrow nor in joy,
Neither in clean nor unclean.
I am not water, I am not earth,
I am not fire, I am not air.
who knows who I am!
I am not from Arabia or Lahore,
Nor from India or Nagaur.
Neither a hindu or muslim from Peshawar,
Nor do I live in Nadaun.
who knows who I am!
I cannot be unearthed in the mysteries of religion.
I was not born of Adam and Eve.
I am not the name I assume.
I am not in stillness, not in movement.
Finally, I only know myself.
I cannot know any other.
Who could be wiser than I?
who then, stands here?
who knows who I am!

In truth everything and everyone
Is a shadow of the Beloved,
And our seeking is His seeking
And our words are His words…
We search for Him here and there,
while looking right at Him.
Sitting by His side, we ask:
‘O Beloved, where is the Beloved?’
