Description:
Shah Husayan (1538-1599) is commonly known as Madhu Lal Hussain, the
story being that he adopted his Hindu friend Madhu Lal's name to
immortalise their friendship. He was around during the time of the
Mughal emperors Akbar and Jehangir. Though of a poor family, Hussain was
highly educated.
His poetry is full of symbolism. Some of his most famous kafis feature
the Charkha, as in those days foreign merchants used to sell cotton to
Lahore, which the poor later weaved into cloth.
Hadrat Shah Lal Husayn of Lahore, a disciple of Bahlul Shah Daryai. His mother was a Rajput woman of the Dhadha tribe, and his paternal ancestors were known as Kalsarai. Thus Lal Husayn's own name was originally Dhadha Husayn Kalsarai. The first of his ancestors to accept Islam was a man named, Kalsarai who became a Muslim during the reign of Firoz Shah Tughlag, and was appointed by him to be Shaykhul-Islam. The family name, Kalsarai, dates from that time. Lal Husayn showed, even as a child, a marked preference for clothes of saffron and red colour, hence the epithet Lal added to his name. Very early in life it became clear that he possessed a religious disposition, and while still only ten years' old he was initiated into the Qadiri Order by Bahlul Shah Daryai.
