Abstract: In this article the writer has described the character of Mughal Emperor Shahjahan through Folk literature. ShahJahan ruled with great terror. During his rule, every rich and poor got justice without discrimination. He paid a lot of attention to construction due to which the builders were very prosperous. He abolished un Islamic rituals and prostrations in the court. If the folk literature, especially the folk tales and proverbs, is studied, it is found that he was harsh with the military personnel. He had very colourful mood and spoiled the honour of the women of his palace. Punjabi folk literature high lights both aspects of his personality.
