He has very good knowledge in Arabic, Persian and Dakkni languages. Bahri’s Sufi affiliations were thoroughly Chishti. He studied under a certain Shah Bakar, who was his pir. Aroos-e-Irfan is a remarkable Persian text on Sufi view and teachings. Herein lies the significance of his long Dakkni poem man lagan, which the author later translated into Persian under the title “Aroos-e-Irfan”, resembling Sadi’s Gulistan in form, this work Consist of a series of short stories interspersed with impressive verses. The style and inspiration of Aroos-e-Irfan lyric poetry drew heavily from the tradition of Sufi lyricism as developed and made universally famous by earlier Persian prose. Aroos-e-Irfan is written simple style but has scholarly taste. This Article is a study on Sufi point of divine love, religious values and philosophy of human life.
