Khawaja Syed Shahudin Gillani (1867–1948) was a Sufi poet of Punjabi origin. He was a follower of the Sufi Order of Sarwari Qadiri and was a disciple of Syed Asghar Ali Shah of Artala Sharif, Sialkot.
During his lifetime, Shahudin produced three poetry books, and fifteen poetic translations of Arabic and Persian works into Punjabi. Bhai used to read from the translated books of Aulia Ikram in the presence of Syed Asgar Ali.
Shahudin produced translations from the following:
He learned Fiqh, Hadith and Tafsir at the age of thirteen. Once, he commented to his teacher, Munshi Rukane AAlam, that "He was the scholar who practiced the knowledge".
Shahudin was five feet eight inches tall and had a thick beard. He usually wore a turban, a tah band (an open cloth used to cover the body below the navel), camise, and a white cloth on his shoulder.[3]
Shortly after marriage, Shahudin settled in Gujrat and opened a grocery store. In a year or two, his father died, and he inherited loans. He joined a school as a teacher; to repay the loan, he started working in the paper mill after school. In winter, he had two sons. After six years, his younger son, Muhammad Sharif, and wife died.
His cousin, Syed Jamal ud Din, asked him to find a spiritual mentor. His cousin suggested the name of Syed Asghar Ali Shah. On the next Friday, both went to Syed Asgar Ali; Syed took him.[4] [5] He has claimed that once he was intoxicated, he found that Allah "manifested himself in his heart".
