غم مجھے میٹھے مدینے کا عطا کر دو شہا

میرا سینہ بھی مدینہ دو بنا داتا پیا

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Traveling in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ

He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه gained knowledge and Ma’rifat from many high ranking Aimmah-e-Tareeqat and Shari’at and spent the major part of his life in travels in order to meet the righteous bondsmen of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, to receive blessings from their good influence and to overpower his Nafs through hardships for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه travelled to many countries including Kirmaan, Seestan, Turkistan, Maawara-an-Nahr, Khuzestan, Tabristan, Azerbaijan, Persia, Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Hijaz Muqaddas (Makkah and Madinah).

(Urdu Daaira-tul-Ma’arif, vol. 9, pp. 94)

He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه completed his Islamic education at a young age. The status of his knowledge can be estimated from this incident that once in the presence of Sultan Mahmood Ghaznavi Sayyiduna Daata ‘Ali Hajwayri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had a discussion with a non-Muslim philosopher, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه by virtue of his scholarly competence silenced him by giving outstanding answers, though he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was very young. If this discussion is supposed to be made in the last year of Sultan Mahmood Ghaznavi, then he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was approximately 20 years old. (Kashf-ul-Mahjoob: Preface, pp. 12)

میٹھے میٹھے مصطَفٰے کی بارگاہِ پاک میں

کیجئے میری سِفارش آپ یا داتا پیا

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
