Hazrat Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehlavi Dargah | Ziyarat & History -
Nasiruddin Mahmud Chirag-Dehlavi (Urdu نصیرالدین چراغ دہلوی ) (c. 1274-1337) was a 14th-century mystic-poet and a Sufi saint of the Chishti Order. He was a disciple of Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya, and later his successor. He was the last important Sufi of the Chishti Order from Delhi.
Dehlavi's followers called him "Roshan Chirag-e-Delhi", which in Persian, means "Illuminated Lamp of Delhi".
After his death, his tomb was built by Firuz Shah Tughluq (r. 1351-1388), the Sultan of Delhi in 1358, and later two gateways were added on either side of mausoleum. One of noted addition was a mosque built by a later Mughal emperor, Farrukhsiyar, in the early 18th century, and popular among both Muslims and non-Muslims. A humble tomb, allegedly the Tomb of Bahlul Lodi, the grave of the founder of the Lodhi dynasty (r. 1451-1489), lies close to the shrine,[16] in the present day locality of ‘Chirag Delhi’ that grew around the tomb since 1800, and still goes by his name, it is very close to the locality of Greater Kailash, in South Delhi.
Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehalvi, unlike his spiritual master Nizamuddin Auliya, did not listen to sema, which was considered un-Islamic by a section of the Muslim intelligentsia in that period. He did not however pass any specific judgement against it. This is the reason why even today, qawwali is not performed near his shrine in Delhi. Nasiruddin's descendants are to be found far and wide as a lot of them moved down South to Hyderabad. The dargah of Badi Bua or Badi Bibi, who said be the elder sister of Nasiruddin Mahmud Chiragh Dehlavi, still exists in city of Ayodhya.
