Abstract
This study explores Baba Bulleh Shah’s narratives from the genre of Punjabi Sufi poetry called the k𝑎fi یَََکِ . Sixteen k𝑎fis یَََ یَََکِ are interpreted through Jacque Derrida’s framework of deconstruction. Ten theological deconstruction elements are considered e.g., negative theology, La Diff𝑒́rance and sous rature to name a few. These elements are associated with twenty linguistic patterns like epanorthosis, tautology, and personification, etc., discovered in the k𝑎fis یَََ یَََکِ to compare the philosophies of Derrida and Bulleh Shah. Thematic analysis with three stages of coding: In vivo, descriptive and value coding has been used to find themes and subthemes in the selected k 𝑎 fis. These themes derived through linguistic patterns are then interpreted for compatibility, under compatibility, and over compatibility with Derrida’s deconstruction elements to develop an indigenous deconstruction model.
