Abstract

The history of mysticism and Sufism, like other histories has many unspoken issues that have not been addressed and revealed yet. Although the biographies and works of many mystics are recorded and accessible in the books of Tazkerat al-Awliya and the Tabaqat al-Sufia; but in order to obtain opinions and thoughts of anonymous mystics, who might have lived with a special position in their time, there is an urgent need to study ancient memoirs and texts. Due to the important period of cultural, political and literary exchange between Iran and India and Sufis, poets and artists traffic between the two countries, a significant part of Persian cultural capital is available in some Hindu works that deserve attention and research. Based on the Hasnat
ul-Arifin by Dara Shikoh, the Indian prince (AD 1069). this research introduces some of the famous mystics of that time who remain anonymous nowadays. Mystics such as: Khajeh Ali Ramtini, Sheikh Kabir, Sheikh Hussein Dehdeh, Sheikh Sharafuddin Pani Petahi, Sheikh Farid Shokranj, who had excellent Shath speeches.
