To understand the holy Book of Islam, having a sound knowledge of Arabic Language and Literature particularly ancient texts is paramount. Realizing this reality, Ml Farman Nadvi worked on a valuable book “Babul Marasi min Diwanil Hamasah”. Hamasah is a famous anthology of Arabic Poetry by Abu Tammam probably compiled around AD 835, while the complier was staying at Hamadan. 

19th Century. Although there are a number of books on a literary genre Hamasah, the anthology of Abu Tammam is widely appreciated and adopted in the curricula of Arabic language. Kitab al-Hamasah is divided into ten books and the second book deals with Marasi “Elegies” and the book of Maulana Farman Nepali deals with this very book of Kitab al-Hamasah. The anthology contains a total of 884 poems, most of which are short extracts of longer poems, grouped by subject matter. The selections date back to pre-Islamic, Islamic and early ‘Abbasid times.

I Am Mohammad Khalid Nadeem Budauni https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2022/08/31/i-am-mohammad-khalid-nadeem-budauni/ https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2022/08/31/i-am-mohammad-khalid-nadeem-budauni/#respond Wed, 31 Aug 2022 10:33:54 +0000 https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/?p=1645

My name is Khalid Nadeem Budauni. My father was Abdul Majid Siddiqui. I was born in Mohalla Sahukara Gate, Budaun on 15th June, 1958. I was brought up and nurtured by my grandfather Late Abdul Hadi Siddiqui and Phuphi Shamim Bano. My father was Head Constable of Police, so he resided outside due to his employment. I got my primary education in Madrasa Aaliya Qadriya, Budaun under guidance of my grandfather and Phuphi. Thereafter, I passed the Intermediate exam from Islamia Inter College, Budaun and completed Masters in Urdu from Rohilkhand University, Bareilly U.P. and got associated with the Department of Primary Education (Basic Education, U.P. Government) as a teacher after completing B.T.C. I met with my respected teacher Late Shafi Ahmad Khan ‘Payam Kakralvi’ in 1974 while I was studying in Islamia Inter College. I was fortunate enough to receive guidance in Urdu Poetry from Payam Sb. Dr Asad Budauni, Husain Ahmad Farid Chand Sheikhupuri and Khalid Budauni (Resident of Biri 92).

It was the age of nurturing literature and realm of poesy. There were prominent poets, in whose presence I recited poems frequently in poetry symposiums and I was blessed to acquaint myself with literary nuances and subtleties. I also launched an Urdu Magazine “Monthly Roshan”, which could last only for three years. However, my love for poetry pursuits continued advancing. I could avail the training of the respected Teacher only for four springs but my endeavors continue till date. To which extent I have succeeded, it may be judged by the men of letters.

I am eldest of six brothers. By the grace of God (AST) my mother is alive but my father passed away eighteen years back. My three brothers are settled with their businesses in Delhi. The names of my brother respectively are as follow: Mohammad Tariq, Mohammad Aleem, Mohammad Kaleem, Mohammad Yusuf and Mohammad Azeem.

I got married in 1980 to my cousin Ambar Jahan and blessed with five sons. All the Five sons Mohammad Imran, Mohammad Irfan, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Faizan and Mohammad Saud are settled in Mumbai with their businesses. All praise be to the Almighty Allah, my four sons have got married but one son is yet to be married. Unfortunately, I do not have any daughter.

That apart, I am serving language and literature as a servant of a literary organization “Fankaar Academy, Budaun”. My following books have been published or going to be published.

(1)    Muhsin-e-Kaunanin (Naat Collection),

(2)    Zad-e-Akhirat (Naat Collection),

(3)    Anware Karbala (Manaqib Collection),

(4)    Anwar-e-Sabir (Manaqib Collection),

(5)    Shan-e-Ala Hazrat (Manaqib Collection)

(6)    Anwar-e-Usaid (Manaqib Collection),

(7)    Fankar Academy Ke Tarhi Mushaire

(8)    Taqleed-e-Hassan (under publication),

(9)    Ghazal Collection (under preparation),

(10) Fankar Academy Ke Online Tarahi Mushaire

(11) Anwar-e-Saleheen (Under publication).

     Dr Siraj Ajmali, Naz Pratapgarhi, Afsar Amrohvi, Samar Budauni, Dr. Sohrab Kakralvi, Dr Ilyas Naved Gunnauri, Wasiq Pusganvi and a host of other literary personalities have expressed their impressions on my works. I have attended numerous poetry symposiums and gatherings (Mushaira). I have also participated in All India Mushaira of Bangaluru, Agra, Mumbai, Aligarh, Delhi, Varanasi, Lucknow and Bareilly. I am deeply associated with some of the contemporary poets, Riyaz Saghar, Hameed Gauhar, Jalil Nizami Hyderabad, Zahoor Zahirabadi, Alok Shrivastava, Sagar Tripathi, Alam Nizami, Shakir Husain Islahi, Ishrat Saghir Shahjahanpuri, Noor Kakralvi, Fahmi Budauni and others. (Khalid Nadeem)

I would like to share one of anecdotes pertaining to my journey into the realm of creativity and poesy. I was at the start of my initiation in the world of poesy in the poetic classes of my mentor and teacher. One stanza of Ghazal was the subject of composing other stanzas on this very pattern. The respected teacher asked me and Asad Budauni and Husain Faridi Chand to compose couplets on this pattern. The respected teacher was inhaling Hukkah and we were engaged in composing couplets on this pattern. I (Khalid Nadeem) succeeded in composing a couplet within three – four minutes and presented the same to the respected teacher. My other fellows also composed couplets but my stanzas were preferred and all other persons endorsed it. That lyric (ghazal) was given to a budding poet Zamirullah Budauni. The couplet to be imitated was:

The shadow shall remember the tiredness of the traveler   سائے کو مسافر کی تھکن یاد رہے گی

My literary composition on this was:

The shadow accompanied the traveler immensely سائے نے مسافر کا بڑا ساتھ دیا تھا
The shadow shall remember the tiredness of the traveler سائے کو مسافر کی تھکن یاد رہے گی

The immediacy of the stanza puzzled even Dr Asad Budauni despite being one year senior to me. I was honored to attend my first poetry symposium in presence of my respected teacher. On the third day of the demise of Abr Ahsani Gunnauri, one All India Mushaira was convened, which was attended by more than 80 poets and this Mushaira lasted for two complete days. I (Khalid Nadeem) was on the eighteenth number of the list of the first day. My ghazal garnered immense success. Subsequently, I got opportunity to vent my feelings in poesy in the poetry symposiums at Moradabad and Rampur when invited. My poetry lineage reads as below:

  • Shafi Ahmad Khan Payam Kakralvi
  • Abr Ahsani Gunnauri
  • Ahsan Marehravi
  • Dagh Dehlavi

I belong to the eighteenth generation of my ancestors in view of settlement in Budaun. My great ancestor Hakeem Muhammad accompanied the father of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya when he migrated here from Mashhad-e-Muqaddas to preach Islam. The illuminating tomb of Hazrat Syed Ahmad Bukhari Mashhadi is still in existence at Sagar Taal, Mohalla Khera Nawada in Budaun, which is visited by masses.

At present, some poets of Budaun migrated from here and some others have passed away. There is dearth of poets in Budaun nowadays. Sadiq Alapuri, Samar Budauni, Ayyub Budauni, Dr. Shadab Zaki, Anwar Qasmi, Raunaq Rahi, Surendra Kumar Naaz, Dr. Pramod Darpan are continuing the glorious tradition of literature and all of them have appreciated me in glowing words. Fankaar Academy, a brain child of mine (Khalid Nadeem) aged 20 years now, organizes on regular basis poetry symposiums and get-togethers and the literary Carwan continues its journey to the destiny.

The illness has taken toll on me (Khalid Nadeem) and I have not remained as strong as I would have been in the past and it has impacted the movement as well. Now I have more concerns to get my books and that of my friends published and nothing else concerns me greatly right now. I seek blessing from the Almighty God for achieving these targets.

Many organizations have honored me with awards. I attended twice in the poetry symposium of Urdu Academy, Uttar Pradesh. I (Khalid Nadeem) frequently face the audience through Radio & Doordarshan Kendra Rampur and Bareilly and Lucknow. I have chaired several poetry symposiums too. Currently I am posting my Video collection on my YouTube channel and Facebook account. I recited my works Online numerous times during lockdowns and I do it constantly every second or third day by the Grace of Allah Subhanahu wa Taala.

The Story of Javed Mohammad alias Javed Pump https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2022/06/15/the-story-of-javed-mohammad-alias-javed-pump/ https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2022/06/15/the-story-of-javed-mohammad-alias-javed-pump/#respond Wed, 15 Jun 2022 06:09:06 +0000 https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/?p=1608

Javed Mohammad, assumed by the police as the mastermind of Allahabad protests against the insulting remarks by BJP leaders, has the exemplary records of the community service and welfare of masses in Prayagraj. Called by some locals as Javed Pump because of his submersible business in the city, he was born in 1966. He is the Nazim-e-Shehr on behalf of Jamaat-e-Islami, Hind for Prayagraj and the General Secretary of Uttar Pradesh Unit of the Welfare Party of India headed by Qasim Rasool Ilyas, the father of Umar Khalid, who is in jail on the charges of inciting and causing the North Delhi riots in 2020 according to Delhi Police. Afreen Fatima, the elder daughter of Javed Mohammad is known and admired social activist working for the oppressed and downtrodden people of the country.

Social Activist:

Javed Mohammad has been active in the realm of social issues actively participating in removing the worries of the common men and working for the welfare of the community. His post on facebook only two hours before Allahabad protests reveals his love for social harmony and amicable co-existence. He wrote on his timeline at 11.28 AM of 10 June, 2022 “किसी भी मसले पर यदी सरकार से बात कहना हो तो बेहतरीन तरीका होता है अपनी बात या मांग को ज्ञापन के जरये अधिकारियों से समय लेकर दी जाय, यह शहर हमेशा शांती प्रिय रहा है, हालात के मद्देनजर हमें खामोशी से जुमा नमाज पढ़ कर अल्लाह से दुआ करनी चाहिए अमनो अमान के लिए, सभी को कानूनी दायरे में रह कर अपनी बात कहने को अधिकार है, मेमोरंडम बनाएं हम सब मिलकर, जिला अधिकारी के माध्यम से राज्य सरकार या केंद्र सरकार, महा महिम राष्ट्रपति महोदय को भेजवायें, बेवजह कोई भी सड़क पर इकठ्ठा बिल्कुल न हो जिससे पूरी मिल्लत को नुकसान उठाना पड़े. जुमा पढ़े, अपने घर जाकर दुआ  करिए कि अमन चैन शांती मुहब्बत कायम रहे। मेहरबानी करके पोस्ट शयर जरूर करें. (If we have to talk to the Government on any issue, the best way to do it is presenting the memorandum of our problems and demands taking time from the official. This city has always been peace-loving. Keeping in mind the circumstances, we should quietly offer our Friday prayers and pray to Allah for peace. Everyone has the right to put forward their view within the purview of law. We should come together and prepare a memorandum and send through the Collector to the State Government or the Central Government and the Hon’ble Governor. No one should gather on the road without any reason, which may cause damages to the community. Offer the Friday prayers; seek blessings of God going home for peace, tranquility and love. Please, share the post.) This is the point of view expressed by Javed Mohammad regarding the communal harmony and resolving the conflicts. However, some persons regard it as the double standard of Javed Mohammad considering him as the mastermind behind Prayagraj violence.

Javed Mohammad has also been active for removing encroachments from a Muslim graveyard in Kala Danda area of Prayagraj in capacity of the president of the Qabristan Committee. He fought a legal battle seeking help from the police and approaching the courts in this campaign. Removing encroachments is not an easy task, which angers land mafia and their goons and Javed Mohammad also faced the furry of the local builders.

Campaigner against the mob lynching:

Many Muslim youth and others have been lynched in India in the recent past. One of such unfortunate cases had occurred on the outskirts of Prayagraj. In this horrible incident, he approached the Allahabad High Court to bring the culprits under the clutches of punishment and administer justice to the victim.

While Covid – 19 pandemic was ravaging the country second time, Javed Mohammad rendered great services by arranging oxygen machines and cylinders and when certain parts of Prayagraj got flooded, he was not behind and came forward actively engaged in relief efforts. That apart, he is known and respected in Prayagraj and surrounding areas for extending helping hands in mattes of medical treatment and hospital bills for the needy persons and school fees / books for students of the poor parents.

A Vocal Muslim:

Javed Mohammad has always been vocal in reference to the issues of Muslims in India such as Babri Masjid demolition, citizenship amendment excluding Muslims and retaining others and Government policy towards NRC. However, we can observe his foresight for common welfare of the country brethren when he recalled anti CAA and NRC protests in view of dangers posed by Covid – 19 pandemic.

Father of Afreen Fatima:

Afreen Fatima, a renowned activist, who has graduated from AMU and pursuing her education in JNU, has been active participant in Shaheen Bagh protests, touring the South in Hijab row and expressing her points of views on vital issues concerning the community in particular and the marginalized persons in common.

Wrongly accused by Police:Although, Javed Mohammad has been an important part of every peace committee in the city cooperating with the police and authorities during conflicts, now he is prime accused in the Prayagraj protests case and the police have regarded him as the mastermind behind this occurrence. Now he needs dedicated legal and moral support in fighting for justice. ◊◊◊

BHARTENDU HARISHCHANDRA https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2022/04/06/bhartendu-harishchandra/ https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2022/04/06/bhartendu-harishchandra/#respond Wed, 06 Apr 2022 10:53:24 +0000 https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/?p=1588

Bhartendu Harishchandra was born in Kashi. His personality was an embodiment of patriotism and revolution oriented. In the very childhood, he had realized the misery and abysmal condition of the country.

Bhartendu Harishchandra was an unequalled hero of the renaissance consciousness. He had a special association with Ishwarchandra Viddhasagar, a prominent figure and the famous sage of the Bengal Renaissance. His mind was restless to illuminate the Hindi sphere with the light of modernism and realization of freedom. To materialize his aspirations, he encouraged and motivated the likeminded men of letters. He established Tadiya Samaj, published magazines and journals and created literatures in various genres. He launched a magazine named Kavivachansudha and edited Harishchandra Magazine, which started to be published in the name of Harishchandra Chandrika.

For the women education, he published Bal Bodhini magazine. He translated the dramas in the Bangla language as well, out of which Dhananjay Vijay, Viddha Sundar, Pakhand Vidamban, Satya Harishchandra and Mudra Rakshash are prominent. His important dramas are – Vaidiki Hinsa Hinsa Na Bhavti, Shri Chandrawali, Bharat Adarsh, Andher Nagri, Neel Devi etc.

Hindi began a new shape in 1873 as per the perception of Bhartendu Harishchandra. This shape was absolutely new in craft and sensibility. The journey of Hindi in prose of Khadi Boli had started being animated with caste sensibility, which Bhartendu Harishchandra and his contemporary authors gave the desired momentum by their accomplishes.

The tradition of Hindi dramas and prose writing starts from Bhartendu. The impacts of Bhartendu are visible on his contemporaries. His contributions in the development of the modern Hindi prose are significant. He did not only lead his contemporary authors but he also worked as torch bearer for the authors to come. It is said that he also went to Delhi Darbar on behalf of Maharaja of Benares to request for a legal ban on cow slaughter. He also drew a petition on the same later with 60,000 signatories and was submitted to Lord lytton but no action was taken so he was given the title “Vir Vaishnava”

HARIVANSH RAI BACCHAN https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2022/04/04/harivansh-rai-bacchan/ https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2022/04/04/harivansh-rai-bacchan/#respond Mon, 04 Apr 2022 14:36:05 +0000 https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/?p=1582

Harivansh Rai Bacchan is a well known name in India and abroad in reference to Hindi Literature and Bacchan Family. Born 1997 in Allahabad, he has contributed memorable and highly acclaimed literary works to the Hindi literature. Madhushala (1935) Madhubala  (1938), Madhukalash (1938) Nisha Nimantran, Ekant Sangeet, Akul – Antar, Milanyamini, Satrangini, Arti and Anagre, Naye Puurane Jharokhe,  Tooti – Phooti Kadiyan (Poetry collection); Kiya Bhulun Kya Yaad Karun, Need ka Nirman Phir, Basere se Door, Dashdwar Se Sopan Tak (Autobiography in four volumes), Hamlet, Jangita, Macbeth  (Translation); Parwasi Ki Diary (Diary) are testimony to his enormous achievement in the field of language and literature. Mr Bacchan left for heavenly abode in the year 2003 in Mumbai.

              Harivansh Rai Bacchan was a Professor in the University of Allahabad from 1942 to 1952. He was associated with the literary programs of Akashwani. Then he was appointed as Hindi Expert in the Foreign Ministry of India. Mr Bacchan gave voice to the disheartened mind of the bewildered middle class between both the world wars.  He used simple and sensitive idioms and phrases to express his thoughts and feelings instead of cumbersome and loaded tough tongue. The sincere expression of the events happened in the personal life emerged as poetry by Mr Bacchan. This is the basic reason for his popularity in the realm of Hindi poetry. We find echo of inebriation of the middle ages Persian Poet Umar Khayyam in the early poems of Harivansh Rai Bachhan particularly in Madhushala. One drop of a poem is a drop of life. We find strains of mysticism in the poetry of Mr Bachhan.

              Although we know Harivansh Rai Bacchan as a poet but he has also authored stories, dramas, diary and others in addition to a marvelous autobiography, which continues a popular read as it contains honest confession with lucid style.

नवाब मलिक https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2022/03/07/%e0%a4%a8%e0%a4%b5%e0%a4%be%e0%a4%ac-%e0%a4%ae%e0%a4%b2%e0%a4%bf%e0%a4%95/ https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2022/03/07/%e0%a4%a8%e0%a4%b5%e0%a4%be%e0%a4%ac-%e0%a4%ae%e0%a4%b2%e0%a4%bf%e0%a4%95/#respond Mon, 07 Mar 2022 14:23:24 +0000 https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/?p=1551

नवाब मलिक एक राजनेता हैं, जो महाराष्ट्र के वर्तमान अल्पसंख्यक विकास, औकाफ कौशल विकास और उद्यमिता मंत्री हैं और गोंदिया और परभणी के संरक्षक मंत्री भी हैं। वह राष्ट्रवादी कांग्रेस पार्टी के राष्ट्रीय प्रवक्ता और मुंबई अध्यक्ष हैं और महाराष्ट्र के पूर्व आवास मंत्री हैं।

वह 1996, 1999, 2004  में मुंबई के नेहरू नगर (विधानसभा निर्वाचन क्षेत्र) से और 2009 में अणुशक्ति नगर (विधानसभा निर्वाचन क्षेत्र) से महाराष्ट्र विधानसभा के लिए चुने गए थे।

नवाब मलिक का जन्म 1959 में पूर्वी उत्तर प्रदेश के बलरामपुर जिले के उतरौला तहसील के धुसवा गांव में हुआ था। वह वर्तमान में राष्ट्रवादी कांग्रेस पार्टी के मुंबई अध्यक्ष हैं। उनकी एक बेटी है।

विवाद

एनसीबी (नारकोटिक्स कंट्रोल ब्यूरो) के एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी समीर वानखेड़े को निजी स्तर पर निशाना बनाकर नवाब मलिक विवादों में फंस गए थे। नवाब मलिक तब से वानखेड़े का पीछा कर रहे थे जब से वानखेड़े ने एक क्रूज पर एक ड्रग पार्टी का भंडाफोड़ किया और बॉलीवुड अभिनेता के बेटे को गिरफ्तार किया। उन्होंने समीर वानखेड़े के धर्म के बारे में सार्वजनिक रूप से टिप्पणी की। उन्होंने वानखेड़े की बहन की निजी तस्वीरें भी सोशल मीडिया पर शेयर कीं। उन्होंने सार्वजनिक रूप से वानखेड़े को नौकरी जाने की चेतावनी दी थी।

मलिक ने एनसीबी के क्षेत्रीय निदेशक समीर वानखेड़े और उनके परिवार के बारे में कुछ भी पोस्ट नहीं करने के अपने पहले के वचन के बावजूद सार्वजनिक टिप्पणी के लिए बॉम्बे हाई कोर्ट से ‘बिना शर्त माफी’ मांगी।

Bedam Shah Warsi https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2021/08/09/bedam-shah-warsi/ https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2021/08/09/bedam-shah-warsi/#respond Mon, 09 Aug 2021 17:50:30 +0000 https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/?p=1421

Hz Bedam Shah Warsi (RA) was born in 1882 in Etawah a town in present day UP, India. He was named Ghulam Hasnain by his parents, but this name was forgotten once he took on the mantle of mysticism. His spiritual guide was Hz Syed Waris Ali Shah (RA), and Bedam Sb, under the influence of his guide and teacher, became an adept Sufi. Spending most of his life in the garb of a ‘Faqeer’, Bedam Sb passed away in November 1936. He is buried near the shrine of his Pir. Sufficient biographical accounts are not available on Bedam Sb, but what is known is that he was a contemporary of most of the great Sufis of the turn of the century, including Pir Mehr Ali Shah (RA), Khwaja Ghulam Fareed (RA) Hz Hasan Nizami (RA) – who said about Bedam Sb’s ‘Diwan’, Hast Irfan dar zabaan-e-Poorbi, and poets like Hz Allama Iqbal (RA).

Bedam Sb’s Kalam (poetry) is a wonderful mix of modern Urdu idiom and the Farsi/Purbi traditions that shaped the Sufi poetry that preceded him. His Purbi kalams led him to be given the title of ‘Khusrau-e-Saani’ – the Second Khusrau. His Naatiya kalaams are in a league of their own, wonderfully expressing the love for the Prophet (SAW) while at the same time retaining the fragrances of his native land, emanating – as he himself says – a “Bheeni bheeni khushboo”. His non- Naatiya kalaams contain treasures of meaning, and all the main Sufi concepts are wonderfully visible- Wahdat-ul-Wujood, the concepts of ‘Fanaa’ and ‘Baqaa’, of love towards the Murshid and all creations of Allah.

Bedam Sb’s kalam has been sung by Naat-khwaans and Qawwals since his lifetime. His ghazals were readily picked up by contemporary Qawwals, and Tazmeens were sung on them. Even today, almost eighty years after his demise, Bedam Sb’s kalam retains the same freshness, the same depth of ideas and emotions and the same “bheeni bheeni khushboo” that it did when it was created.

Zainuddin Shirazi https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2021/08/06/zainuddin-shirazi/ https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/2021/08/06/zainuddin-shirazi/#respond Fri, 06 Aug 2021 17:19:31 +0000 https://urdu.muslimsofindia.com/?p=1412

Syed Zainuddin Shirazi (1302 CE, 1370 CE) was born at Shiraz and went to Delhi by way of Mecca. He studied under Maulana Kamaluddin of Samana, and came with him to Daulatabad. The author of the “Mayrat-al Walayeh” mentions that Zainuddin, on his arrival at Daulatabad, disapproved of the singing and dancing in the convent of Burhanuddin; but when he visited the “tekkieh”, he was perfectly satisfied, and he and his companions were initiated in the Chishtia order. Syed Zainuddin held the office of “kazi” at Daulatabad, and in 1336 CE was invested with the mantle of the Khilafat, but did not actually succeed till after Burhanuddin’s death in H. 741 (1340 CE). Syed Husain has recorded all the sayings of Zainuddin in his “Hidayat ul Kalul”, and mentions that in H. 747 (1346 CE), sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq (H.699-H.752/1300-1351 CE) directed him to leave for Delhi with the other inhabitants. After the death of the sultan, his successor Firoz Shah permitted the saint to return to Daulatabad.

Zainuddin was greatly respected by the Bahmani king sultan Mahmud, who was first reproved by the saint for misgovernment. Malik raja the founder of the Faruki dynasty of Kandesh became one of Zainuddin’s disciples, and when the next sovereign Nasir ud din Nasir Khan Faruki captured Asirgarh in H.801 / 1399 CE, Zainuddin went expressly from Daulatabad to Asirgarh, to tender his congratulations. It was to commemorate this visit that the town of Zainabad, on the left bank of the Tapti, was founded after him; and Burhanpur on the opposite bank was founded about the same time in honor of Burhan ud din.

Zainuddin died in H. 771 / 1370 CE, and a handsome mausoleum was erected over his tomb at Roza, which is visited by devout Musalmans of the Dakhan.

The relics of the “parahan” (the robe of the prophet) and “taj” given to Burhan ud din on succeeding to the khilafat, are carefully preserved in a wooden box placed in one of the apartments of Zainuddin’s dargah.

Every year on the 12th Rabi-ul-awal, the sacred hair of the prophet is first shown to visitors, and then the “parahan”, the “taj”, and a few likenesses of some of the most sacred personages among the Muslims are exhibited.

The tombs of Azam Shah, of his Begum, and of a Muslim saint, are in a small enclosure to the east of Zainuddin’s mausoleum; while Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb‘s tomb lies to the west. Opposite this last is a large quadrangular courtyard, having open-fronted buildings on all sides, and a “nakar-khana” or music hall at the east end. The west end is used as a school where the Koran is taught, and gives access to an inner courtyard which contains a number of graves. Facing the entrance is the shrine of Burhanuddin; and a little to the right is the last resting-place of Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf Jah I, the founder of the Hyderabad dynasty and of one of his consorts. To the left is the tomb of Nasir Jang, the son of Asaf Jah, who at one time contemplated rebellion against his father, but overcome by contrition for his conduct, performed penance at the tomb of saint Zainuddin.

The Dargah in Khuldabad attracts thousands of pilgrims each year from 12th Rabi-ul-awal, for the Urs of the saint.
