About the Book

Shamas Faqir (1843-1901) occupies a distinctive place among the Sufi poets of Kashmir. He lived at Chinkral Mohalla, in Srinagar. He didn't receive formal education, but became apprentice to Niama Saheb, a Kashmiri Sufi poet. He became a disciple of Souch Maliar, Abdul Rehman of Barzulla, Atiq-Ullah of Gulab Bagh, Mohammad Jammal and Rasool Saeb. Niama Saheb, Waza Mahmood, Wahab Khar and Ahmad Batawari were some of his contemporary poets and friends. Shamas Faqir's mystic poetry contains a tune and tenor of highest spiritual thought and it serves as an elixir water for those who tread on the path of achieving the sacred goal. From a literary point of view also, his poetry possesses qualitative merit in terms of thought, expression and thematic freshness.
