Sufism generally shows the inner mystical dimension and Sufi Poetry is believed to be the medium to invoke GOD’S mercy: A way to get closer to GOD. Sufi poetry has its own colors and shades. It’s true that human mind has its own limitations and the world beyond, is mystical, not explored yet. The ALMIGHTY above is beyond all doubts and thoughts. Humans have a strong urge to explore the unknown world. The hymn to GOD is actually a Sufi poetry. It has been written in different languages and styles. 

Urdu is the most poetic language and Urdu poets have contributed a lot for the acceptance and recognition of Urdu language and literature all around. In the modern times, Urdu poets have not limited themselves to Urdu only, but they are brushing their tools with languages like Hindi, Arabic, and Persian. Urdu poetry has the great treasure of literary legend-Amir Khusro, a classical Sufi poet, still known for his contribution to Urdu literature and music. He is widely recognized for creating Hindustani Khayal. He gave a new face to Qawali when bhajans were liked the most by people.
