The biography of Hadrat Syed Shah Khamosh Sahib

Hyderabad, India
By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez
I am honoured to write the biography, details of my ancestor

Hadrat Khajwa Syed Moinuddin Hussaini alias Hadrat Syed
Khasmos Sahib. Even though his books of the Diwan (collected
odes of single poet) of poetry were published at many native
states of India in Hyderabad, Punjab, Amroha and in Moradabad
and in the above places it was published, his Diwan many times
in which there are found many printing mistakes but those books
of poetry were still out of stock and are in running in shortage. I
2
have corrected mistakes, and did explanation of the exegesis of

Quranic verses and sayings of the last prophet of Allah in the
above poetry book and after this edit work printed the book of
Diwan. His holy birth took place on 4th Rajab 1204 Hegira in
city of Mohammabad Bider and his father was a famous Sufi
master of the Chishti and Nizami Order and it referring to a
person who is committed to a Murshid (spiritual master) in a
Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism and it is also known as a Salik
(Arabic: ‫ )س سالللك‬and his name was well known
373
as Hadrat Khajwa Syed shah Meeran Maqdum Hussaini alias
Hussaini Peeran. There were three brothers of Hadrat Syed
Khasmos Sahib and the details of his brothers are as follows
according to the age group. 1. Syed Shah Peeran Hussaini 2.
Syed Shah Wali Ullah Hussaini 3. Syed Shah Ali Hussaini
His ancestors Hadrat Syed Shah Yousuf Hussaini alias Shah
Raju Qattal Hussaini whose mausoleum is situated in Quladabad
Sharif and whose elder son was Syed Shah Hussain alias Hadrat
Khaja Chandan Hussaini and who was caliph of Hadrat Chiragh
Dehlavi and the linage of Hadrat Shah Khamos is belonging to
his sons. The above saint’s younger son’s name is well known as
Khaja Bande Nawaz Gesu Daraz Mohammed Mohammed
Hussaini on whose mausoleum people from various walks of
life, irrespective of caste and creed, assemble to celebrate the
Urs (death anniversary) which takes place on the 15, 16 and 17
days of Zul-Qa`dah of Muslim calendar at the famous Band
Nawaz shrine (Dargah) in Gulbarga every year. Several hundred
3
thousand devotees from near and far, irrespective of religion and

beliefs, gather there to seek blessings. One day when Hadrat
Shah Khamosh was playing outside of his house along with
friends of age mates and at that time one pious person and
whose name Bands Ali Majzub Shah was passed from there and
he was watching him while playing with the boys and he told
him “You are tiger
374
and you are playing with jackals. ” And he was given to him the
salt package which was tied in cloth. So after this event there
was over powering of fondness of Allah upon him. And there
were affection and fondness of truth so he began searching for
the truth which was increased by him. His interest was began in
endeavours and daily recitals as well as invocation of Allah. So
for this reason he asked permission with his elder brother Syed
Peeran Hussaini Sahib for the journey. So his brother was
provided him one horse and fellow disciple for his journey.
Before this journey, he has spent some time in the loneliness. As
per line of the poetry of Hafiz Shirazi that “ His habit was upset
with the wine so he does not know what is meaning of the
colorful prayer mat and who is the spiritual guide and with wine
he does not know which type of wine it belongs.” Upon
covering one destination from Bider, he was handed over the
horse to his spiritual fellow disciple and in his thoughtfulness he
was reached to the destination by foot journey and visited the
mausoleum of Hadrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti in Ajmare city.
And for many years he was there in Ajmare in his attention and
endeavours towards there in the mausoleum of Khaja Gharib
4
Nawaz. He was received command by the Sufi master of the

subcontinent Hadrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti to proceed towards
Punjab State and he was instructed to go Manikpur where his
favour of fate is available there with Hadrat Hafiz Musa Sahib
so he should approach with him and get favour from there.So for
this reason Hadrat Shah Khamosh Sahib was reached in Punjab
by covering the long journey by foot. When he reached there
and he was found one pious Sufi master and he was among a
large number of his disciples there and that holy
375
personality saw Hadrat Shah Khamosh Sahib then he
immediately put his head on his foot and told him he was sent
towards his Mashaiq (learned person) and your master is better
than himself. So for this cause all disciples were upset and
worried in this matter and asked him who is this young
gentleman.?. He said before them that “ He is Sadat (descendant
of the prophet’s family) from Deccan (South India) and he was
sent by Hadrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti and who is in search for
his purpose. This young gentleman is by birth a person of
Velayat (sainthood) and he was sent for the completion of stages
of truth of manifest and innermost.” Before reaching of Hadrat
Shah Khamosh Sahib to Manikpur which is in Ambala district
Hadrat Hafiz Musa Sahib was seen Khaja Gharib Nawaz in his
dream and who told him that his son is coming towards him so
take towards him. Hafiz Musa Sahib was wake up from his
dream and he was given instruction to all disciples and persons
who were present in the shrine building to go and welcome the
young gentleman who was sent by Hadrat Khaja Moinuddin
5
Chisti.So all should go to the village Majary which was two

miles away from Manikpur and pay him respect and bring him
from there.So many groups of pious caliphs and disciple went to
welcome Hadrat Shah Khamosh Sahib to village Majary and all
were honoured him and took him in the circle of invocation of
Allah and took him in the presence of their spiritual master in
Manikpur. On the other side Hadrat Hafiz Musa who was
standing at the door of the shrine and waiting for his arrival
there. Upon his arrival, he embraced him and all the persons
who present there were began weeping. He was granted a
special room to stay for him in the shrine building. He was given
special respect and status than general disciples
376
and special caliphs and he made him a disciple and so in this
way he was entered into the fold of the chain of Sufi master in
Manikpur. Upon his hard endeavours and tasks he was given
him caliphate and permission. As per the old system when the
custodians of Hadrat Shah Khamosh Sahib from Hyderabad
when used to visit Manikpur shrine, then all disciples and
persons of the shrine of Hafiz Sahib and village people used to
gather two miles away from Manikpur in village Majary in the
circle of invocation of Allah to welcome the custodian from
Hyderabad and taken them to shrine of Hafiz Sahib in circles of
invocation of Allah. In one biography of Hadrat Shah Khamosh
which is 60 old printed in which it is mentioned one event that “
Maulvi Amnat Ali, who is the caliph of Hadrat Musa Hafiz
heard by his master that Hadrat Shah Khamosh is in his chain
and as per favours he is like Hadrat Niazmuddin Auliya Thani
6
and he will be very generous and due to his favours of innermost

and manifest (Zaheri) and these benefits which will be get
available to the people India and Deccan.” One another caliph of
Hadrat Hafiz Musa said “Moulana Mir Hafiz was seen in the
dream Meeran Bhiki Sahib who was the great grandfather of
Hadrat Hafiz Musa Sahib who tie-in turban with his hand on the
head of Hadrat Shah Khamos Sahib. In the morning he wakes
and he was explaining his dream with his master Hafiz Sahib
then he was told him that “ There is no surprise as Meeran Bhiki
Sahib is tying turban on his head as he accepted one in the
shrine of Hadrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti and who got favour
from there and he is messenger from that place.” In city of
Rupad Sharif in which the mausoleum of the spiritual master of
Hadrat Hafiz Sahib is there and which is located some miles
away from Sarhind and where the room of Hadrat Shah
Khamosh Sahib is
377
there and which famous even today for the fulfillment of desires
and wishes of the person who visit his room there and in that
room Shah Sahib used to busy in the invocation of Allah and
daily recital and endeavours there. It is made available the
information in many biography, books and history books that in
invocation of Allah and recitals, Hadrat Shah Khamos was much
connected with his breaths and for this reason even one of his
single breath was not pass without invocation of Allah and
recitals. For this reason, for a period of 30 years he did not talk
with anybody and even by sign he used to talk very less. Hadrat
Syed Amant Ali Katgori and Syed Amant Ali of Amrohi said
7
that “ One day they were standing at the door of room of Hafiz
Sahib and at that time large number of people of chain were
present there and Hadrat Hafiz was tieing up turban of the
caliphate on the head of young gentle man Syed Moinuddin
Hussaini and awarded him the status of Qutub (highest cadre in
spiritual pivot at axis) of Deccan (South India) and had
instructed him to stay in Amroha till his life period and used to
visit him from there in every one month or two months time and
after his demise to go and stay in the Deccan as per instruction
of Hadrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti and who was awarded him
the status of Qutub of Deccan region. His spiritual master has
been filled his chest with the knowledge of innermost and
manifest and revealed upon him all truths. ” While going to
Amroha he stayed some days in the Delhi and he stays in the
Delhi has become well known to all people there. The Mughal
dynasty last King Bahdur Shah Zafar was paid visit him, he was
presented his 21 gold coins to him as his offering. After this he
was staying some period of time in Amroha and Allahabad and
in these two cities his mosques and shrine buildings are well
known and famous
378
among the people in the above cities. In Chandpur, Merat,
Amroha and in Allahabad there is a large number of his
disciples are available there. From Moradabad he went to visit
village Garali, Chandpur, Mansourabad and he was staying
there for some short period of time. For some period of time he
was given instruction of teaching and preaching to his fellow
disciple Ghulam Ali Shah in Amroha. In his absence, he was
8
become in charge of a circle of invocation of Allah and teaching

and preaching work there. He was staying for a period of one
year in the mosque in Amroha and from there he was shifted to
mosque of Balul Khan and in which he was staying for some
years there and from there he was shifted in the street of
Patwalon and where he was constructed one mosque and shrine

happened one day and which is very well known and famous
there that Amant Khan residence of street Katwai in Armorha
was organized one function in honour of Hadrat Shah Khamosh
Sahib an due to his devotion of the Sheikh and he was also
arranged a meeting of Samah (ecstasy) and so for this reason
large number people came over to his residence where was
arranged for the meals to all persons and due to a large number
of people’s gathering he was worried and upset and due to face
reading of Amant Khan the Sheikh of the time was able to know
that his worry and asked him to take him at the place of Pakat
(fried bread ) and the Sheikh was covered platter of bread with
his coverlet and put his Romal (handkerchief) on the cauldron of
cooked rice and asked him to starting serving food to the people.
Upon eating for all people with full satisfaction, but the food
which was prepared was not used at all and it was looking that
nothing was not used to serve the people from the cauldrons.
Upon seeing this event there was news spread in the city of his

people were becoming his disciples in Amroha city due to the

available in that city due to the grace of Allah and he has stayed
there in that city for a period of ten years and where he has
performed many thousand miracle and supernatural events there.
Before the death of Hadrat Hafiz Musa Sahib, Hadrat Shah
Khasmos Sahib, Maulavi Amanat Ali Shah, Maulavi Hussain
Bakhash was made palanquin to bring Hafiz Musa Sahib to
Amroha from Manikpur and along with palanquin all the above
persons went to Manikpur to bring him from there to Amroha.
For this reason there was loud and cry in the Manikpur and the
people who made loud and cry presented themselves in the
presence of Hadrat Hafiz Musa Sahib and they have asked him
not to leave from Manikpur. So for this reason Hadrat Hafiz
Musa Sahib was entered in a palanquin and he sat there for some
time and he was coming out of it and he was asked Hadtrat
Shah Khamosh Sahib to sit in the palanquin and he was given
him instruction to go to Amroha and continue the teaching and
preaching mission work there and in this way he sent all
caliphates and disciples back to Amroha who have visited
Manipur from Amroha. 36. The biography of
Hadrat Bagmar Sahib
The mausoleum of Hadrat Bagmar Sahib has located at 3-kilo
meters away from Mahaboobnagr city and his connection of
great devotion and pledge with Hadrat Syed Shah Abdul
Rahman Hussaini of Koil Kunda and who was the grandson of
Syed Shah Chanda Hussaini of Gogi Sharif. And Hadrat Syed
Shah Asad Allah Hussaini Sher Sawar is one among caliphs and
10
the disciples of Hadrat Syed Shah Abdul Rahman Hussaini, and

among general, persons, he is well known and famous as Hadrat
Bagmar Sahib. His ancestors and elders belonged to the country
380
Syria. So, for this reason, he was born there. For the preaching
and propagation of Islamic mission in India he was migrated to
Delhi and from there and he was arrived in Hyderabad city and
from there he was arrived in Koilkinda and after living for some
period of time there he was arrived in Palmur (Mahboobnagar
city). And at that time in the Deccan Kingdom of Hyderabad
Nizam Mulk Asif Jah first was ruling there, and regarding
village Palmur there is coming old tradition that it was included
Bugya Smano Lokai Palli and which is 4-kilo meters away from
Narayanpet (former taluq Makhtal). Hadrat Bagmar used to go
4-kilo meters away from Palamur in the mountain of Chakki and
in the adjacent mountains and he was used to spending his time
there in the engagement of meditation. He was doing such hard
endeavors in meditation and worship that so, for this reason, all
grazing animals, beasts and birds of the jungle were becoming
close by to him and so he himself used to ride in the jungle area
on the tiger. In the above mountain areas, he was used to living
along with his disciples and servants in the jungle area. This area
was surrounded by thick forest in the jungle. It is possible that
he was killed, any tiger in the jungle so for this reason he was
becoming well known and famous as Bagmar Sahib. Hadrat
Sher Sawar has left this mortal world on in the year 1780 and he
was buried in the mountain area in the jungle where he was used
to reside generally there during his life time period. His disciples
11
and devotees have organized an annual death anniversary. As

there is not available correct date of his death so there is coming
tradition that in every year in the month of Shaban on the first
Tuesday after Shabe Barat (15th night of Shaban) his annual Urs
(death anniversary) is being celebrated.
381
The Urs (death anniversary). People from various walks of life,
irrespective of caste and creed, assemble to celebrate the Urs
(death anniversary) which takes place on the above date of
Muslim calendar at the famous Shrine (Dargah) in Mahbubnagar
city every year. Several hundred thousand devotees from near
and far, irrespective of religion and beliefs, gather there to seek
blessings. His grave is in Mahboonagar which is famous even
today for the fulfillment of desire and wishes of the persons who
visit his grave. Conclusion. To write about this great Sufi saint
and great preacher is not only it is difficult and but it is very
hard task as he was not only a great pious personality of his time
in the area of the Deccan (South India) but he was also a great
Sufi master so, in brief, he was a pious personality of his time in
the Deccan region. As for a long time he was engaged in
religious discourses, sermons, and spiritual training of the
people and he did also many great endeavors for the preaching
and propagation work of Islam in Deccan (South India) and
around this region and there was no such personality during his
time. As per research and history record it can be said that he
was among pioneers of Sufi masters who was migrated from
foreign countries into the Deccan area and who started teaching
and preaching of the Islamic mission in the old Deccan area and
12
due to his hard endeavors and efforts large numbers of people

accepted the religion of Islam in the olden days in the Deccan
area.
