Shrine of Zind Pir at Sukkur in the Shikarpur District of Sindh in Pakistan,
Taken by Henry Cousens in 1896-7.
This view looks across the causeway towards the entrance to the tomb.
Cousens wrote in the Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of Sindh, 1897, "Upon the upper side of Bukkur, and joined to it at low water, is the compact little island upon which, under the cool shade of some large trees, is the famous shrine of Zinda or 'Jind' Pir. The island has been raised and protected against the corrosion of the river by retaining walls of strong rubble masonry all around. The great gateway facing Rohri is a far more imposing structure than the mean little domed shrine itself. The latter occupies the centre of the island, and is a remarkable plain small square building surmounted by a low dome..."

Mian Mir -
Mir Mohammed Muayyinul Islam, (c. 1550-August
11, 1635) popularly known as Mian Mir is a famous Sufi saint
who resided in Lahore, specifically in the town of Begampura
(in present-day Pakistan). He belonged to the Qadiri order of
Sufism. He is famous for being a spiritual instructor of Dara
Shikoh, the eldest son of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. He is identified
as the founder of the Main Khail branch of the Qadiri order.
Mian Mir and Emperor Jahangir Mian Mir was a
friend of God-loving people and he would shun worldly, selfish
men, covetous Emirs and ambitious Nawabs who ran after faqirs
to get their blessings. To stop such people from coming to see
him, Mian Mir posted his mureeds (disciples) at the gate of
his house.
Once,
Jahangir, the Mughal emperor, with all his retinue came to pay
homage to the great faqir. He came with all the pomp and show
that befitted an emperor. Mian Mir's sentinels however, stopped
the emperor at the gate and requested him to wait until their
master had given permission to enter. Jahangir felt slighted.
No one had ever dared delay or question his entry to any place
in his kingdom. Yet he controlled his temper and composed himself.
He waited for permission. After a while, he was ushered into
Mian Mir's presence. Unable to hide his wounded vainity, Jahangir,
as soon as he entered, told Mian Mir in Persian: Ba dar-e-darvis
darbane naa-bayd ("On the doorstep of a faqir, there should
be no sentry").
Pir
Mian Mir, whose mind and soul were one with the Lord, caring
little for the emperor's angst, replied in Persian: Babayd keh
sag-e-dunia na ayad ("They are there so that the dogs of
the world/selfish men may not enter").[citation needed]
The
emperor was ashamed and asked for forgiveness. Then, with folded
hands, Jahangir requested Mian Mir to pray for the success of
the campaign which he intended to launch for the conquest of
the Deccan. Meanwhile, a poor man entered and, bowing his head
to Mian Mir, made an offering of a rupee before him. The Pir
asked the devotee to pick up the rupee and give it to the poorest,
most needy person in the audience. The devotee went from one
dervish to another but none accepted the rupee. The devotee
returned to Mian Mir with the rupee saying: "Master, none
of the dervishes will accept the rupee. None is in need, it
seems."
"Go
and give this rupee to him," said the faqir, pointing to
Jahangir. "He is the poorest and most needy of the lot.
Not content with a big kingdom, he covets the kingdom of the
Deccan. For that, he has come all the way from Delhi to beg.
His hunger is like a fire that burns all the more furiously
with more wood. It has made him needy, greedy and grim. Go and
give the rupee to him."
Mian Mir and Guru Arjan meet Guru Arjan Dev,
the fifth Sikh Guru, often visited Lahore, the birth-place
of his father (the fourth Guru, Guru Ram Das) to meet his
relatives. On the occasion of one of such visit, he called
on Mian Mir. The two men of God met and became life-long friends.
Mian Mir was thirteen years older than Guru Arjan.
The
foundation-stone of the Harimandir Sahib Guru Arjan was responsible
for the construction of many tanks and buildings. In 1588,
he planned to build a temple in the centre of the holy tank
called Amritsar or the pool of nectar. As the temple was to
be thrown open to people of all castes, creeds and climes,
he invited Mian Mir to lay the foundation stone of the Harmandir
Sahib. He came to the city of Amritsar wearing a religious
mendicant's long cloak made up of patches of coarse wool and
a cone-shaped cap, with a rose flower on top.
Mian
Mir was given one of the warmest welcomes for which Guru Arjan
was famous. The two holy men embraced each other in sincere
love and regard. The purpose of the temple was disclosed to
the Sufi saint. Mian Mir was delighted at the fine objectives
the Guru had in mind. The foundation-stone was laid. Hymns
were sung in praise of God and sweets were distributed among
the audience.
Guru
Arjan's death In 1606, Guru Arjan was implicated in the affair
of Prince Khusraw, who had rebelled against his father, Jahangir.
He was imprisoned in the Lahore fort and tortured. When Mian
Mir heard about it, he came to see the Guru. He found Guru
Arjan calm and serene, having completely resigned himself
to the will of God. Mian Mir suggested to the Guru whether
he should intercede with Emperor Jahangir on his behalf. The
Guru forbade him saying that God's will must have its course
unchecked, as it was not proper to interfere with its working.
He only asked for the saint's blessings for his son, Har Gobind.
Guru
Har Gobind A couple of years after the death of Guru Arjan,
his son and successor Guru Har Gobind, a lad of thirteen,
called on Mian Mir at Lahore.
Guru
Tegh Bahadur Guru Tegh Bahadur, the son of Guru Har Gobind
and the ninth Guru, as a child met Mian Mir who blessed him.
Death
After having lived a long life of piety and virtuosity, Mian
Mir passed away on 11 August, 1635 (7 Rabi’ al-awwal,
1045 according to the Islamic Calendar), after having suffered
from severe dysentery for some time. He was eighty-eight years
old. He was buried at a place which was about a mile from
Lahore near Alamganj, that is at the south-east of the city.
Mian Mir's spiritual successor was Mullah Shah Badakhshi.
Mian
Mir's Mazar (Mausoleum) still attracts hundreds of devotees
each day.

Sultan
Bahu (ca 1628 - 1691) was a Muslim Sufi and saint, who founded
the Sarwari Qadiri sufi order.
Like
many other sufi saints of the Indian subcontinent, Sultan Bahu
was also a prolific writer, with more than forty books on Sufism
attributed to him. However, as the majority of his books deal
with specialised subjects related to Islam and islamic mysticism,
it is his Punjabi poetry that has generated popular appeal and
made him a household name in the region. His poetic verses are
sung in many genres of sufi music, including qawaalis and kaafis.
Tradition has established a particular style of singing his
couplets, which is not used in any other genre of sufi music.
(Please see the External Links section for audio resources.)
The
Mausoleum of Sultan Bahu is located in Garh Maharaja, Punjab,
Pakistan. It is a popular and frequently-visited sufi shrine,
and the annual festival is celebrated with the usual fervour,
which is now a distinguishing feature of what is being called
a 'shrine culture' of the Indian subcontinent.

Sachal Sarmast (Mian Abdul Wahab), the
great mystic of Sindh, is the leading Sufi poet of distinction
who composed verses on philosophy and Sufism. He is known as
second Mansoor ul Hajjaj because of his poetry and philosophy.
Sache Dino, Sachoo (the truthful) and Sachal Sarmast were all
names given to Mian Abdul Wahab Farooqi because of the radical
sufi pursuits with which he challenged the rigid mindset of
the clergy of his times. Also called 'shair-e-haft zaban' (poet
in seven languages) as he composed poetical pieces in Arabic,
Sindhi, Seraiki, Punjabi, Urdu, Persian and Balochi, that is
replete with Divine Love. It is on Monotheism, the Glorious
Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
He also composed poems of high order in Urdu and Persian. The
great Sufi poets Attar, Sami and Roomi influenced him. Sindhi
poetry of Sachal Sarmast encompasses a wide range of subjects
and possesses its own individuality. He perfected a great deal
of old style i.e. Abyat and Dohas greatly in vogue before him.
While Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai (another Sufi poet of Sindh) enhanced
the standard of Sindhi poetry to the highest level of excellence
in style, diction and subject matter, Sachal Sarmast took the
lead in raising the standard and level of kafi, ghazal and marsia
in Sindhi poetry. Unlike Shah Latif whose compositions are woven
around local and folk themes, Sachal Sarmast has touched on
all great Sufi saints, fountains of knowledge and learning,
besides the most popular folktales of the Indus valley. The
Images, similes, metaphors and allegories employed by Sachal
Sarmast give him a prominent place in Sindhi literature.

Pakistan. His spiritual master was Shah Inayat Qadiri of Lahore.
The ancestral village of Bulleh Shah was Uch Gilaniyan in Bahawalpur,

at home, and that is the name he chose to use as a poet

Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar (R.A)'s (Sawaan-eh-Hayat)
The mosque that is built in the hearts of the saints Is the
place of worship for all, for God dwells there (Jalaluddin Rumi)
The real name of "Lal Shahbaz Qalandar" was Syed Muhammad
Usman who was born in 1177 AD in Marwand, Iran. His father,
Syed Ibrahim Kabiruddin, was a virtuous and pious dervish, and
his mother was a high-ranking princess. His ancestors migrated
from Iraq and settled down in Meshed, from where they again
migrated to Marwand. During the Medieval period, Meshed and
other cities of that region were renowned centers of learning
and civilization.
Even as a young boy, Shahbaz Qalandar showed strong religious
leanings. He learnt the Holy Quran by heart just at age of seven,
and at twenty embraced the Qalandar order of Sufism. "Qalandar"
is a type of dervish who is generally dressed in beggars’
clothes, likes poverty and austerity and has no permanent dwelling.
Lal Shahbaz Qalandar wandered throughout Middle East and came
to Sind from Baghdad via Dasht-i-Makran. In 1263, he arrived
in Multan, which at that time was at the height of glory and
splendor. The people of Multan besought him to stay but he continued
his journey southward and eventually settled down in Sehwan,
then a famous center of learning and popular place of worship
for Hindus, in the southern part of Sindh, where he lived in
the trunk of a tree on the outskirts of the town. He stayed
at Sehwan for six years and during this period he disseminated
the light of Islam, providing guidance to thousands of people.
