Mīān Muhammad Bakhsh (Punjabi: میاں محمد بخش, pronounced [miãː mʊɦəˈməd̪ bəxʃ]; c. 1830 – 22 January 1907) was a Punjabi Muslim poet from Khari Sharif, Kashmir.[3][4] He wrote 18 books during his lifetime of 77 years, especially remembered for his romantic epic poem, "Saiful Maluk" in which he wrote the traditional Arabic story of Prince Saiful Maluk into a poem.[5] He also wrote the romantic tragedy, "Mirza Sahiban". Most of his work is in Punjabi,[b] with the exception of the book "Yari", written in Persian.[6]
Bakhsh is revered throughout the Punjab, Hazara and Kashmir. He is regarded as the bridge between medieval and early-modern Punjabi literature.
