Abstract

This article discusses a kafi by Shah Hussain the second classical poet of sufi order. There is an analysis of similarities and differences between the poetry and life history of Shah Hussain that we find in Haqeeqat ul  Fuqra (حقیقت الفقرا), Tehqeeqat e Chishti(تحقیقاتِ چشتی) and other books of sufi history.For example a Kafi which has been added to the March 1966 in the text of Majlis e Shah Hussain by the name of khyal and which is order wise kafi number 165, it is not added to the text of Mohan Singh Diwana in 1942, Rather it has been taken from Mohan Singh Diwana's book ''Punjabi Adab di  Mukhtasir Tareekh''  (پنجابی ادب دی مختصر تاریخ)and  then added to the text of Majlis e Shah Hussain in 1966. This article opens the doors of the apparent difference between the life of Shah Hussain and his poetry like this Khayal (Kafi)  regarding his (Murshad)  spiritual teacher Shah Jalal.
