Baba Bulleh Shah, the Sufi mystic, was always a bit of an iconoclast. That is one of the reasons because of which I enjoy reading and listening to his poetry. Unconventional as he was, I am sure he also would approve of the potent combination formed by his poetry and rock music. The following tracks range from rock to rock-fusion, I believe, in terms of genre.
Title: Aleph
Album: Parvaaz
Artiste(s): Junoon
Title: Bulleya
Album: Parvaaz
Artiste(s): Junoon
Title: Bulla Ki Jaana Maen Kaun
Album: Rabbi
Artitste(s): Rabbi Shergill
Title: Bandeya
Album: OST Khuda Ke Liye
Artiste(s): Khawar Javed

I am ashamed to say that while I have heard all these songs, and have even heard of Baba Bulleh Shah. Thank you for this post, I am off to wikipedia to educate myself.
Isn’t Bulla Ki Jaana more like folk?

Well, now you know. :)
Bulla Ki Jaana is rock-fusion, sort of, in the sense that instruments like the mandolin have been used, in addition to the guitar and drums.
It is not based on any folk tune.
