Abstract
Mansur al-Hallaj (857-922) was a great martyr-mystic of the history of Sufism who, irrespective of various controversial remarks about his personality and concepts, still has a profound influence on the mystical thought of the internationally-known intellectuals and religious thinkers. Much has been written on the different aspects of this mystic in almost all the languages of the world. No doubt, Louis Massignon (d. 1962), a reputed French orientalist, "discovered" Hallaj and devoted about a half century to bring to light the different aspects of Hallaj's life and writings. Ahmad Ali Shivrajpuri wrote Qissa-i Mansur in Urdu which was published in 1851. Luckily, this very unique poetic tract is available in the Sprenger Collection of the Berlin State Library that is being published here with a relevant introductory information.
