Abstract

The temperament of Punjabi poetry was always been mystical as Punjabi poetry flourished under the influence of Sufism. Punjabi poetry has been a significant source of representing mystical thoughts. Chishti Sufis played a vital role in promotion of Punjabi poetry. Along with several others, Baba Farid, Waris Shah and Peer Mehr Ali Shah are the notable poets of the Chishti clan. Mian Muhammad Shafi Akhtar Dhangarvi (1909-1990) also belongs to them. He was a prolific Punjabi poet. He left behind a vast creative asset in the form of various poetic genres. Especially, his See Harfis are a beautiful expression of mystical thoughts. In this article, the analytical study of his See Harfis is presented in the context of Mystical and Monastic aesthetics.
