Waris Shah
Waris Shah (Punjabi: وارث شاہ, ਵਾਰਿਸ ਸ਼ਾਹ) (1722–1798) was a Punjabi
Sufi poet, renowned for his contribution to Punjabi literature. He is best
known for his seminal work Heer Ranjha, based on the traditional folk
tale of Heer and her lover Ranjha. Heer is considered one of the
quintessential works of classical Punjabi literature. The story of Heer was
also told by several other writers—including notable versions by Damodar Das, Mukbal,
and Ahmed Gujjar—but Waris Shah's version is by far the most popular today.
Waris Shah was born in Jandiala
Sher Khan, Punjab, India (Present day - Pakistan) into a reputed Syed family
who claimed descent from prophet Muhammad. His father's name was Gulshar Shah.
Waris Shah acknowledged himself as a disciple of Pir Makhdum of Kasur. Waris
Shah's parents are said to have died when he was young, and he probably
received his education at the shrine of his preceptor. After completing his
education in Kasur, he moved to Malka Hans, a village twelve kilometers north
of Pakpattan. Here he resided in a small room, adjacent to a historic masjid,
now called Masjid Waris Shah. His mausoleum is a place of pilgrimage today,
especially for those in love. The mausoleum complex was completed in 1978 and
is a mixture of the Lahore School and Tughlq Architecture. He wrote so many books and got a renowned name in wold of literature. This is very famous book and ready for read. to read this book and get spiritual befit after download this.
