Faqir Allāh Āfarīn Lāhorī (1660–1741) was a 17th-century Punjabi poet.
Life
[edit]Afarīn was born in Lahore into the Shi'te Juya tribe of Gujar community. Although a Sufi by nature, he was not affiliated to any Sufi order, and spent a life of seclusion at Lahore. Three of his Mathnawis attained much fame: Nāz o nīāz (1707), also known as Hīr o Ranǰhā, composed during the reign of Aurangzeb, Anbān-e maʿrefat (1730) and Abīad-e fekr (1734), both written during the reign of Muhammad Shah. His poetry is noticeable for originality and the use of fresh imagery.[1]
