Echoes of Sufi Chants - Kafi Shah Hussain - Kujh Samjh Nadana - Ustad Nazir Butt part 2

Shah Hussain (1538 - 1599) was a Punjabi poet and Sufi saint. He was born in Lahore (present-day Pakistan). His tomb and shrine lies in Baghbanpura, adjacent to the Shalimar Gardens.

His urs (annual death anniversary) is celebrated at his shrine every year. It is known as "Mela Chiraghan" ("Festival of Lights") and is the second largest festival in Lahore after Basant. It used to be the biggest festival of the Punjab.

Shah Hussain's love for a Brahmin boy called "Madho" or "Madho Lal" is famous, and they are often referred to as a single person with the composite name of "Madho Laal Hussain". Madho's tomb lies next to Hussain's in the shrine.

Shah Hussain was the pioneer of the kafi form of Punjabi poetry.

@saqibtahir Well Said!!!

[saqibtahir]

Thanks God, I found my Jannat in this world by leaving Wahabism and worshiping Mullas.

Mullas are children of Shaitan who talk about Allah but preach empty rituals, spread hate among mumans and spill blood.
