Bhagat Sadhna, also called Sadhna Qasai, was a north Indian[1][2][3] poet, saint, mystic and one of the devotees whose hymn was incorporated in Guru Granth Sahib. Venerated in the region of Punjab, among Sikhs and Ravidassias,[4] his devotional hymn is widely quoted by most preachers. His one hymn is present in Adi Granth Sahib, in Raga Bilaval.[5][6]

The followers of Bhagat Sadhna are called Sadhna Panthis.[7] His only memorial is a mosque at Sirhind, where he died.
