  • Summary

  • Malik Muhammad Jayasi was an Indian Sufi poet and pir and also a bhakta. He wrote in the Awadhi language, and in the Persian Nastaʿlīq script. Much of the information about Jayasi comes from legends, and his date and place of birth are a matter of debate. As the nisba "Jayasi" suggests, he was associated with Jayas, an important Sufi centre of medieval India, in present-day Uttar Pradesh. However, there is debate about whether he was born in Jayas, or migrated there for religious education. Born in the Gangetic plains of Jāyas, currently a city in the Rae Bareli district in Uttar Pradesh state, Jāyasī was the son of Shaikh Mamrej, also called Mālik Raje Ashraf. The title ‘mālik’ implies that he belonged to a family of landlords of Iranian origin who migrated to India in the thirteenth century.
