Syed Mahar Ali Shah & Baba Chalasi:Persian Mystic Poets of Pakistan

Abstract

One of the characteristics of the Persian language from the beginning until today has been that the Sufi Poets and writers try to prevent the people of their age from the ignorance and refinements of the world through this sweet language. For the reason, in the subcontinent, local poets continued the same practice following the great poets of the Persian language .Syed Mahr Ali shah and Baba Chelasi are both important personalities in terms of Sufism and mysticism.Although Syed  Mahr Ali Shah and Baba Chelasi have a gap of 80 years between them ,both of them are similar in many ways and one of the biggest similarities between them is this  that they are multi – lingual poets ,but they have tried to guide the misguide and unthinking people to the right path through the words of the Persian language.in this article ,we consider the biography and Persian works of both prominent figures and mystics of Pakistan.
