Abstract
Baba farid was not only the first Punjabi poet but he helped Punjabi language for its development. His most important contribution is literary purposes. Such statements always confused with the fact that authors try to prove that he started all this, Punjabi has poetic purpose before oral tradition. He gave the Punjabi culture its new tradition in writing and culture in new form.Earlier poets written in primitive Punjabi, before Farid. There was little in Punjabi literature apart from traditional and anonymous ballads. By using Punjabi as language of poetry, Farid laid the basis for a vernacular Punjabi literature that would be developed later.Sanskrit, Arabic, Turkish and Persian had historically been considered the languages of the learned and the elite, and used in monastic centres. Punjabi was generally considered a less refined folk language. It was always neglected beside its general acceptance in day to day life. Nearly three centuries pass before another figure of any status relieves the curious blank." Farid couplets, "Dohras", reflect a poise, serenity, grim yet confident, volatile, meaningful use of culture through Language. He used woman as a metaphor to show their plight in society. He even portrayed the plight of common farmers.
