Literary Expansion

Shahmukhi Classes

ا

Reconnecting the Gurmukhi reader to the broader literary soul of the Punjab.

1947
The Disconnection

The Lost Scriptural Bridge

When the divide of 1947 disconnected us from Shahmukhi, we lost more than a script—we lost the ability to read the Sufi Masters in the exact words they breathed into existence. Reclaiming Shahmukhi is the essential stepping stone to reuniting with our Persianate roots.

The Foundations

Why learn Shahmukhi?

I. POETRY

The Sufi Canon

Read Waris Shah, Bulleh Shah, and Baba Farid without the dilution of transliteration.

II. PERSIA

The First Step

Shahmukhi acts as the vital linguistic bridge for Gurmukhi readers to eventually master Persian.

III. HISTORY

Khalsa Darbar

Unlock the administrative records and historical documents of the Sikh Empire held in Shahmukhi.

IV. CLASSICS

The Zafarnama

Engage with the heroic and philosophical Persian literature of our heritage through its scriptural cousin.

V. CONNECTION

Sanjha Punjab

Bridge the gap with Lehnda Punjab, opening a direct door to 100 million fellow Punjabi speakers.

VI. LEGACY

Total Literacy

To be truly literate in Punjabi history is to know both its scripts. Complete your ancestral journey.
