Kashf al-Mahjub
The Kashf al-Mahjub, or Revelation of the Veiled, is the oldest surviving treatise on Sufism written in Persian, composed in Lahore in the eleventh century by the mystic Ali Hujwiri. It explains Sufi doctrines and practices and gives the lives of earlier saints. Hujwiri's shrine in Lahore, known as Data Darbar, remains one of the most visited in South Asia.
