Shah Hussain (Template:Lang-ur) was a 16th century Punjabi Sufi poet who is regarded as a pioneer of the Kafi form of Punjabi poetry. Hussain's love for a Hindu boy named "Madho" has resulted in them being referred to as a single person with the composite name of "Madho Lal Hussain" (Template:Lang-ur)
Name
Shah Hussain is also often known as Shah Hussain Faqir - Faqir meaning Dervish ( mendicant ) and Shah means King. So due to his extremely humble Sufi personality, people called him The Dervish King, a person who was a King and a Dervish at the same time. He was son of Sayed Mohay-ud-Din Urf Qadir Sher) Shah Pur District Layyah Shah Hussain (Madhu Lal Hussain) is Kazmi Sayed but the family of Sayed Mohay-ud-Din is called Mashooq Allah Potra. his history is available in Deputy Commissioner Office Muzaffar Garh.
Life
He was the son of Sheikh Usman, and belonged to the Dhudhi clan of Rajputs. He was born in Lahore in 1538, and died in 1599.
Shrine
His tomb and shrine is located at the Baghbanpura precincts, adjacent to the Shalimar Gardens Lahore, Pakistan. His Urs (annual death anniversary) is celebrated at his shrine every year during the "Mela Chiraghan" ("Festival of Lights").[1] Madho's tomb lies next to Hussain's in the shrine.[2]
Kafis of Shah Hussain
Hussain's poetry consists entirely of short poems known as Kafis.[3] A typical 'Hussain Kafi' contains a refrain and some rhymed lines. The number of rhymed lines is usually between four and ten. Only occasionally is a longer form adopted. Hussain's Kafis are also composed for, and the singing of them have been set to music based on Punjabi folk music. Many of his Kafis are part of the traditional Qawwali repertoire. His poems have been performed as songs by Kaavish, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Abida Parveen, Ghulam Ali, Hamid Ali Bela, Amjad Parvez, Junoon and Noor Jehan, among others.[4] "It may be asserted that poetry is often written to be sung. And all poetry carries, through manipulation of sound effects, some suggestion of music".[5]
Here are three examples, which draw on the love story of Heer Ranjha:
Ni Mai menoon Khedeyan di gal naa aakh |
Do not talk of the Khedas to me, mother. |
Another Kafi:
Sajjan bin raatan hoiyan whadiyaan Ranjha jogi, main jogiani, kamli kar kar sadiyaan Maas jhurey jhur pinjer hoya, kadken lagiyaan haddiyaan Main ayani niyoonh ki janan, birhon tannawan gadiyaan Kahe Husain faqeer sain da, larr tere main lagiyaan
Main vi jaanaan jhok Ranjhan di, naal mere koi challey Pairan paindi, mintaan kardi, jaanaan tan peya ukkaley Neen vi dhoonghi, tilla purana, sheehan ney pattan malley Ranjhan yaar tabeeb sadhendha, main tan dard awalley Kahe Hussain faqeer namana, sain sunedha ghalley |
The nights are long without my beloved. |
Two Kafis that are addressed to his converted Hindu disciple Madho Lal Hussain[6] need a special mention:
Madho Lal! Piyaare ki parwaasa dam da? Udeyaa bhor theyaa pardesi aggey raah agam da! Jinhaan saada shauh rijhaaya tinha nu bhow jam da? Aakhey Hussain faqeer nimaana chhaddiye sareer bhasam da!
Ve Madho! Main wadda theyaa badnaam! Raati pi ke dukh da piyaala tureyaa suwairon shaam! Ki aakhaan main ki si peeti? Loki dassan haraam! Kaafar aakhan saarey mainoon laawan sabh ilzaam! Mukh fairan sabh maidey wallon naal kaddan dushnaam! Rowey Hussain maidey Saain nu Madho chheti pej salaam! |
Madho Lal! My dear what is this trust on life? |
