Abstract
Intertextuality is all about the creation and interpretation of a text based on a prior text. Seen from intertextual perspective all the great poetic works of the great bards indicate certain literary influences and the poetry of Shah Abdul Latif is no exception. One of such major influences on his poetry is the Persian poet Jalaluddin Rumi’s Mathnavi which was in fact one of the three constant companions of Shah Latif, other two being the Holy Qur’an and the Risalo of Shah Abdul Karim of Bulri. Though Shah Latif’s verse is unique in its style and essence, yet Mathnavi has clearly left some marks on his poetic thought. This research article highlights the intertextual aspect of Shah Abdul Latif’s poetry, using Bazerman’s (2004) intertextual model to present an indepth analysis of a selected number of verses from Shah Jo Risalo which bear similarities of subject and substance to some of the poetic lines in Mathnavi of Rumi
