Saleh Muhammad Safoori (Urdu:صالح محمد صفوری) was a sufi poet of southern Punjab, the writer of a poetic collection in Punjabi which is now known to people as Kulliyat-e-Saleh Muhammad Safoori.[1] In the collection he has described the famous mythical story of southern Punjab, Sasi puno (Urdu:سسی پنو) in poetic form. Saleh Muhammad Safoori was the son of Hazrat Mai Safoora Qadiriyya, local saint of the area.

The book gives the complete Introduction of Mai Safoora, Saleh Muhammad Safoori and Ali Haider.[2] The book contains the poetic collection written by Saleh Muhammad Safoori based on the mythology of Sassi Punnun and Sohni Mahiwal.

Qamar is of the opinion that stories about Ali Haidar`s devotion or respect for Mai Safoora had no foundation because Mai Sahiba was almost 54 years junior to the saint whose tomb was constructed in 1795 by the order of Multan`s Afghan ruler Nawab Muzaffar Khan. According to the chronology quoted by Yousuf, Ali Haidar died some four years after the death of Mai Safoora. Ali Haidar died at the age of 98.
