This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Bedam Shah Warsi (1876 - 1936) was an Indian sufi saint and poet who wrote in the Urdu, Persian and Purbi languages.^[1]

He was born in Etawah, Uttar Pradesh in 1876. His birth name was Ghulam Hussain, while 'Bedam' was his takhallus, and 'Warsi' is a nisba indicating his discipleship to his spiritual master Waris Ali Shah. He died on November 24, 1936, and was buried in the Shah Owais Graveyard in Dewa, the town of his spiritual master.^[2]

Bedam's poems have become a part of the modern qawwali repertoire^[3]^[4] and have been recited by the likes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Fareed Ayaz^[5], Begum Akhtar, K. L. Saigal,^[6] and also sung by Abida Parveen in Coke Studio Pakistan.^[7]

In his preface to Bedam's diwan, the Urdu essayist Khwaja Hasan Nizami writes that similar to how Rumi's Masnavi is dubbed as a "Quran in Persian", so too can Bedam's work be considered as "Glory in the Purbi language".^[8]
