According to Dr S.M. Yunus Jaffery, Jatt people have been mentioned in [[Shāhnāma]] ("The epic of kings") <ref> Dr S.M.

The Shāhnāma tells the mythical and historical past of [[Iran]] from the creation of the world up until the Islamic conquest of Iran in the 7th century. The Shâhnameh recounts the history of Iran, beginning with the creation of the world and the introduction of the arts of civilization (fire, cooking, metallurgy, law) to the [[Aryan]]s and ends with the [[Arab]] conquest of [[Persia]]. The scene that has been drawn by [[Firdowsi]] in his Shahnama is in the legend of Rostam and Sohrab. Sohrab was in search of Rostam, his father. Both, the father and son had heard the heroic deeds of each other, but none of them wanted to disclose his identification. Sohrab while being in search of his father leads his army to the White Castle (Dazh-e-Safid)  in [[Iran]]. Hujir, guardian of the castle, sees the army come and goes to meet them. Sohrab asked Hujir about the heroes and war champions of Iran as under:<ref>Farhang-e-Namha-ye-Shah Nama, compiled by Dr Mansur RastgarFasayi, Published by Moassea-e-Motaleat o Thqiqat-e-Farhangi, Tehran 1370 AH/1991 AD, pages 1090-1094</ref><ref> Dr S.M.
