I wonder how many of them were fathers of daughters. It’s interesting to see almost all Rukhsati songs reflect upon father-daughter relationships whereas traditionally, girls spend far more time with their mothers in sub-continent (and even in other parts of the world).

Waris Shah, who attracted Amarta Pritam in writing her famous poem at the time of partition ‘Aj aakhan Waris Shah nu’, was not married.

Shah Latif was married, but had no children and his wife died within few years of their marriage.

In case of both these legendary poets, the feelings about females (term it feminism) came through their love ladies. In case of Waris Shah, it was Bhagbhari and in case of Shah Latif, that was a Mughal lady who afterwards became his wife after clashes and tussles.
