Abdul Ghafoor Pechuho, better known as Humayooni and Muftoon Humayooni, was an Islamic scholar, saint and poet. A disciple, and student of his father Muhammad Yaqoob, he belonged to the Qadiri Sufi order, and started a mystic tradition in Greater Sindh. Much of what is known about his life is through Sufi tradition, and separating it from historical reality is difficult.

Humayooni wrote many books such as Fatwaa-e-Humayooni, Deewane Maftoon, Frahang-e-Humayooni and others. Humayooni had command over Sindhi, Persian and Arabic, and taught these languages to his disciples. Besides that he was a poet and his book of poetry is known as Dewan-e-Maftoon.
