There are crazy but wise characters named Bahlul in Kurdish and Afghan cultures as well. Some Kurdish poetry has been attributed to the Kurdish Balül, known as Mahi Balül, and he is believed to be one of the Yarsanism sages. The Balul in the Afghan culture is believed to be contemporary to Mahmud of Ghazni.
